The Action Stream plugin provides a lot of information about your profiles which isn't accessed by default. With a little playing (as described in my previous posts) you can really start making your action streams work for you and provide a "lifestream" to your own blog.
The following is a description of all the fields found in the default plugin (without any additional profile plugins) in the following format:
- service_type
- stream_type
- MTStreamActionVar name="xx"
I will try to keep this up to date as new streams are added to the plugin. One important difference to note is that between "stream_type" and "service_type". The difference is a stream type gathers together similar feeds, i.e. the photos stream_type will be all services where you post photos to, whereas a service_type of �flickr� will just be all actions based on flickr (including favourites etc).
Updated to show creations now that the official site has an RSS feed.
Working on�achievements�and Sporecasts for the next versions
This update merely makes the plugin use the latest (2.6.0) library.
A small change was made in config.js, so back that up if you've made your own customisations, and change ConfigYUIBase to be "http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.6.0/build/".
The other change is in load.js, so if you are hosting the YUI scripts locally you'll still need the update.

The next logical step from displaying a thumbnail of your posted or favourite videos is to actually enable playing of the video in your own webpage. Thankfully, this is simple with youtube's embed code and your Action Stream. I've now added this to my
video calendar page and i think it looks good and works rather well. It may be a little to much to add it to the home page, plus we don't want that to slow down any, it's already having to grab resources from all over the place anyway, so adding 9 embedded videos may be a little too much!
Code after the jump..
A new version of the
YUI Rich Text Editor in
MovableType is available, this version adds a new button to your toolbar that will search your entry's text and extract terms that can then easily be added as tags.
Personally, I can never think of proper tags for all my entries, so I created this. Based on an article from Zomie.com, I took the concepts there and added them to the YUI RTE plugin.To enable auto-tagging you will need to get yourself an appid from the Yahoo! Developer Network, but it's very straightforward.Once you have an appid, enter it into the blog plugin config page and a button will be added to your RTE toolbar which, when pressed, will scan your text for terms and present you with a list of suggested tags, which you can then click on to add them to your tags field.Currently only searches the active page (body/extended), so try it on both to get the best results if you are using an extended entry.Download YUI Rich Text Editor for MovableType 4 v1.3
