Creating a Drupal 7 Activity Feed with the Heartbeat Module #1: Installing the Heartbeat Module

Показать описание
In the first video tutorial in this series on creating an activity feed in Drupal 7, I show you how to install the Heartbeat module which is the main module we will be relying on for this series.

After installing the module, I walk you through the default heartbeat settings and show you why it is sometimes best to create your own activity feed settings from scratch. In the next video tutorial, we'll begin actually customizing our activity feed.

Hey Sven, sorry for my late reply. To be honest, at the time I was checking different modules out and when I was playing with Heartbeat there was no documentation and they hadn't deprecated the project yet so i made the tutorials. I've actually been using the message module on another site i've been building.

Thank you so much for this series! I had been using wamp and heartbeat wouldn't work - tried xamp - still no heartbeat - php 5.3 ! I am really looking forward to the rest of the series. Oh finally got HB to work using an Aquila set up!

Hi Peter,

Just one question.... Why did you choose Heartbeat instead of Messages?
I read this about Heartbeat: "Maintenance

This project will be deprecated. The future would be in the module Message. It's much smaller and it cannot be compared to heartbeat when it comes to features. However the possibilities as API would be the same."

So why not Messages?

I really liked your serie about Ubercart and learned a lot but I think I will pass this one.

All the best
Sven

Hi Peter, I noticed you've used both Heartbeat and Message module. Can you recommend one over the other?
