627187 - Inject the zamboni RSS into the remora activity feed

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Developer Pages, defect, P1)

Description

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

Spawned from bug 625446:

On https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers there is a "Recent Activity" list that we are echoing out in PHP.  PHP doesn't know about our database changes so that list isn't really working anymore.

Also on that page is a feed coming from zamboni that does know about the database changes.  Kumar says it's a pretty quick job to clear the "Recent Activity" list, load the zamboni feed with JS, and then echo out the top 4 entries into that list.

http://pastebin.mozilla.org/960484 is an example of the markup we're aiming for.

This was fixed in revision 81580 and is available at https://addons.allizom.org/en-US/developers

Note: activity html is stripped out to prevent any XSS possibilities.  Also, there is currently no way to get the date of each item from the XML so there is not a timestamp like the original.

Also note: this does not implement special admin feed items.  Another bug will be filed for that.

Bug 626625 is still open

Filed bug 631003

There is a slight lag before the feeds of a particular add-on loads. Since this is a stopgap solution, are we fine with that?

It's loading via JS, that's expected.
