OA Feeds provides outgoing RSS feeds for Open Atrium.
- Recent activity at dashboard/feed. (Group activity at [group shortname]/dashboard/feed)
- Recent activity of only your subscribed nodes at dashboard/feed/subscriptions.
- Atrium Reader posts at reader/feed. (Group activity at [group shortname]/reader/feed)
- Category-specific by appending the category: news, twitter, images.
- More soon!
This module does not depend on the Feeds module. It's relationship with Atrium Reader is only that of passing content onward.

- Get Views RSS. For proper activity path handling, get this patch.
Set the Site Mission Statement in admin/settings/site-information. This is used as the Feed Description.
OA Feeds leverages the Token Authentication module (6.x-1.5 and newer) to grant users with the 'access tokenauth' permission a 23-character alphanumeric token that will identify them to Open Atrium so that the posts visible to their user account are accessible via the RSS feed, even though they are not formally logged in to the site. In this way, the Recent activity a user wants to see from Atrium can be pulled directly into Google Reader or their Reader of choice (including Atrium Reader!).
Please be aware that using this feature means a plaintext string will be available in the Feed Readers of all users canny enough to pursue RSS notifications. Google could learn node titles, group names, and so on.
If such information is sensitive on your Open Atrium site, DO NOT USE THIS FEATURE.
If such information is sensitive on a group-by-group basis, check out the OA Feeds [Optional] module that is packaged in the modules directory of this project. It adds a toggle to every group allowing them to opt-in to site RSS feeds on an individual basis.
If you are comfortable using this module, but are still concerned about malicious people getting ahold of a token and "stalking" your content, there is a global token reset mechanism located at admin/settings/tokenauth. Furthermore, every user profile page has a token reset button specific to that user. Administrators with 'administer users' permission have access to this button, along with the user it is associated with.
You are responsible for communicating the token reset to your users.
(For your convenience, Token Authentication now provides drush commands for token reset, too.)
Be extra careful in considering which users should have access to the 'administrate
tokenauth' permission. Tokenauth Administrators have the ability change the Drupal
paths for which tokenauth will provide plaintext authentication. If something like
node/* were added to this configuration, you would allow anyone with access to a token
associated with a user with content creation permission to add content to your site.
You could also create security holes by granting access to admin/*.
Such things are contra-indicated.
This feature adds another block "RSS Feeds for Current Space". This block displays a link customized for the current user to the dashboard feed along with that user's token.
This block will be updated with additional links if and when more are supported by this Feature.
There is also a block containing a brief enduser explanation on how to use OA Feeds on every user profile page, along with a couple example links to recent activity feeds.
A. I thought it a good balance between avoiding a memorizable length and being a URL of silly size. You may change this setting as you like with that in mind.
A. This project aims to be a stepping stone to achieve that. Hopefully most of it will migrate into one of the next few releases.
- Instead of creating new views, hook_alter() the relevant displays onto existing Views.
- Instead of the theme template replacement, add a strip tags option to the Activity Field handler.
- Support iCal with Views Datasource module
- Exclude current user from activity feed, and create a dedicated /me feed of only the current user's content.
