    Hi Amanda. Thanks for sharing you activity stream toolset. I was able to test it successfully and I think it brings quite interesting feature. The code is clear and easy to follow, well done on that! I've put all three plugins into a new set here in the Plugins directory and I am going to approve them now.

    There is one thing to fix yet - the local_culactivity_stream should explicitly define dependency on the message_culactivity_stream in its version.php - in the same way as the block does it. They both rely on the table created by the messaging plugin.

    Also, I was wondering, was it really necessary to implement the local_culactivity_stream as a standalone plugin? From what I saw, it could be merged into the messaging plugin (so it would be the messaging plugin itself that observes the events). I may be missing something though. It's quite common that bigger solutions are split into a local plugin providing the DB tables and common functionality and then other plugins (such as blocks and mods) use this functionality. But it's not your case as the tables are created by the messaging plugin but they are filled by the local plugin. Looking forward to hear more on your architecture background here.

    Said that, you are cleared to land. Welcome to the plugins directory!

    After discussion with David, I have removed the dependency between the local plugin and the message plugin. A future upgrade may merge the local and message plugin. This will be looked at in conjunction with any feedback from users.

    It took me a while to discover that you install the plugin inside the /message/output folder.

    Hi Amanda.

    Thank you for the plugin !!!!

    Do you know if the plugin is compatible with Moodle 3.1 ?
    If not I am willing to help make the changes to make it work pm 3.1.
    Is there a guide or steps to test / port it ?

    Hi, I am testing it on 3.0 this week. Atm I only have a paper test plan which I am happy to share. I hope to find time to write some coded tests at some point.
