Activity/event list for files in right sidebar

[PVince81]

Before we can show comments or versions inline, we need the groundwork to be done, which is the ability to display a list of events/activities inside a panel.

An event can be one of:

• file activity, as delivered by the activity list
• comments, as delivered by the comments component Adding comments to right sidebar for files & folders #16328
• versions, as delivered by the version app

The API needs to be generic enough for such apps to be able to embed their rows into the list.

@jancborchardt @nickvergessen @schiesbn @DeepDiver1975

I'll have a go at the generic interface/API on the Javascript side.

The question is whether we want a PHP-side API (app framework) that can deliver all events in one go or do we want each event type to be retrieved separately. Each approach has its own challenges.

@nickvergessen we probably need something similar to the activity manager where apps can push events. Or should we reuse the activity manager / activities as a base for all this ?

Keep in mind this is something we most likely want to display in the mobile and desktop clients as well somehow. So it needs to be generic and performant.

Or is there anything more recent ?

[jancborchardt]

That’s still the spec and the current plan.

I think this is the most recent one. It's still an open question if we really want to mix the activities with comments and version. I think it is a neat idea but could totally kill the clearness and makes old versions impossible to find. I suggest to start with notmal activities first.

[jancborchardt]

We’ll do it step by step of course, but the comments, version and activity should all be mixed of course. It’s one chronological list.
