Display "activity from past day" in a list at /subscriptions/digest

[jywarren]

We have a new feature in the User model called user.content_followed_in_past_period(time_period)

plots2/app/models/user.rb

Lines 313 to 315 in c6b2d34

	def content_followed_in_past_period(time_period)
	self.node.where("created >= #{time_period.to_i} AND changed >= #{time_period.to_i}")
	end

Let's adjust this to be user.content_followed_in_period(start, end) so we can use it like:

user.content_followed_in_period(Time.now - 1.day, Time.now)

And make it not use self.node.where() but Node.where() so it returns /all/ content, not just the user's own content -- adjusting both the test and the model function, and the test description on this line:

plots2/test/unit/user_test.rb

Lines 92 to 96 in 3db7e63

	test 'returns nodes created in past given period of time' do
	lurker = users(:lurker)
	node2 = users(:lurker).node.find_by_nid(20)
	assert_equal [node2], lurker.content_followed_in_past_period(2.hours.ago)
	end

Follow-up task

Then, let's make a new controller method in https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/master/app/controllers/subscription_controller.rb to display this content. It can just be in a table, like this template:

https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/master/app/views/wiki/_wikis.html.erb

I'm not sure, but it may be possible to simply render that template with a collection, so the overall /app/views/subscriptions/digest.html.erb file could be just:

<h2>Content you've subscribed to in the past week</h2>

<%= render partial: "wiki/wikis" %>

And the controller method could be:

# display the past day's followed nodes on one page
def digest
  # note these won't be wikis but we'll use the wiki partial template to display a list of nodes
  @wiki = current_user.content_followed_in_period(Time.now - 1.week, Time.now)
end

This may not work on the first try, but I'm happy to help troubleshoot!

Then, let's make a method to send the digest in an email!

Hi @jywarren I want to try this

[jywarren]

That'd be great! Thanks!

We want to display the nodes to which user is subscribed to on the digest page or all the nodes created and changed between the start and end time? As changes suggested by you @jywarren in user.content_followed_in_past_period are not sufficient to display nodes subscribed/followed by the user, so I was little confused about the aim of the page.Its ready and working for showing all the nodes in the previous week, once you clarify above point, I will change the query in content_followed function accordingly. Also, Thank you, Jeff, your suggested changes have made this task easier.
