Working with activities
Using the Atom Publishing Protocol, or Atompub, you can create and update activities that you own or to which you have edit access.
Standard activity
An activity is a way for you to organize your work and collaborate with others in a shared Web space. You can start an activity from a single idea or fragment of an idea in an e-mail. Because it is easy to invite new members, you can quickly pull together the right people and resources you need to get the job done. You can post messages, share files and links to Web sites, and create and assign to-do items.
Community activity
Start with 2.5, you can create community activities. A community activity is an activity created in the Communities feature. Community activities are included in the standard Activities views and can be opened and edited from the Activities feature. The only thing different about a community activity is its membership. The member list of a community activity is defined by the membership list of the community to which it belongs; you cannot make changes to the members list of a community activity. In addition, the public status of a community activity is determined by the community to which it belongs. If the community is public or moderated, all of its associated activities are public. If the community is private, all of its associated activities are private.
- Create activities
To create an activity, send an Atom entry document containing the new activity to the user's My Activities feed.- Retrieving activities
To retrieve an activity, use the edit link found in the corresponding activity entry in the user's My Activities feed.- Updating activities
To update an activity, send a replacement Atom Entry document containing the modified activity to the existing activity's edit URI.- Delete activities
To delete an existing activity, use the HTTP DELETE method.- Restore activities
To restore a deleted activity, use a HTTP PUT request. This moves the activity from the trash feed to the user's My Activities feed.
