Abstract

An extension system for rendering custom posts in the activity stream comprises an activity streams front end, an activity streams backend and a custom template storage. The activity streams backend is communicatively coupled to receive activity information from activity sources. Clients send custom metadata to the activity streams backend, including a key for decoding and rendering the proper templates and associated scripts on the activity streams frontend. The activity streams backend encodes this custom key and metadata as part of the activity information. The activity streams front end retrieves the encoded information and decodes the encoded information to produce data and a type. From the type, the activity streams front end accesses the custom template storage to determine the associated custom template and JavaScript. The activity streams front end cooperates with the client to use the data, custom template and JavaScript to render the activity information at the client device.
