ComplexLife

Description

ComplexLife is a fork from Kieran’s SimpleLife which has been on hiatus/slow development for a while.

Simply, it shows your activity for any service that gives a date sorted rss/atom activity feed. The plugin then displays all that activity in any place you want it sorted by time, as a personal lifestream. You can see a sample here

Features

• All the features provided with version 1.1 of Simplelife (the point of the fork) and I will also attempt to merge any new future changes as well
• Support for as many and as obscure services as possible. I have already included stuff that no one else does like PMOG, Atheist Nexus, Cocomments, Getboo etc.
• Longer history via utilizing google reader.
• Comment tracking from everywhere. That is, each time you leave a comment in the blogosphere or in a forum, it will show in your lifestream (AFAIK, no other lifestreaming service does this)
• Pie Charts. 🙂

=Important Notes=

• This plugin requires the Simplepie Core plugin in order to work.
• PHP 5 is required.

Future features

I have a few ideas I’d like to implement in the future. I’m not certain I can but I’m listing them here in case anyone would like to tackle them.

• An Ajax-y settings page where the user selects from the top which services he needs to use and then only they appear
• Unlimited custom feeds. User should be able to put a number on a field and get that many custom rss fields to use.
• Integration with the plugin cache if it exists for faster speeds.
• Allow variables to be set on the plugin php call which would allow it to be included, say, in the sidebar but showing only the last 5 actions.
• A way for it to export an rss file which can be used by people elsewhere. This file could be created/updated every time it’s called, every time the plugin runs or with a cronjob.
