Allow external users to view recently opened/viewed links

Description

Add the ability for external users to view shared links history from external share account.


Current build

If an external share is accessed using a link and not shared with specific external user, external user may only view this page again if the user subscribes to the share; otherwise user must find the link in order to access the share.

Future build

There is an option for external user to view history of viewed links, for example as,

  • History
  • Recently viewed

Database design

Table: external_user_activity
We could use it to save information about all action types:
Added attachments, added comments, subscribe/unsubscribe actions

column name column type opts
id bigserial autincrement
external_user_id int required
activity_type External_User_Activity_Type required
share_id bigint required
create_date timestamp_with_timezone required
title string Confluence page name
page_id int required

External_User_Activity_Type:
Page View, Attachement Add, Comment Add, Comment Remove, Comment Update. Subscribe, Unsubscribe.

@Igor Hercer I think there might be some regression issues on this, I cannot see changes on child pages, it returns activities on the parent page instead.

Fix verified - Improvement implemented - QA environment.

Small suggestion, would be good to have a loading animation when user clicks on a link from this list, at time it takes a long while due to some performance issue and it appears as if the links are not working.

@Igor Hercer If it needs review please put it to review, if not please set it to “to test“ status. Cheers

@Parsa Shiva I think it’s fixed now. :)

@Parsa Shiva @Igor Hercer I need to delete all activity records from QA db to fix problem with environment

@Parsa Shiva It may be connected with @Kamil Zarychta fix? Do new activity columns appear as they should?

Parsa Shiva 17 March 2023, 15:23

@Igor Hercer

Something strange is happening, my activities are lot smaller I think?!
I have over 10 pages, now only 1 and some of the pages I supposedly visited is called “Przegląd”.
What is super weird that this is happening for 2 of my accounts that should have a different history.

@Parsa Shiva fixed, deployed on QA:)

Igor Hercer 17 March 2023, 13:45

@Parsa Shiva Sorry, I’ve fixed that but there is a problem with deployment, I’ll let u know as soon as it’ll appear on QA:)

@Igor Hercer

Pages are displayed, but could you sort it in a way that the last visited pages are displayed on the first page and on the top?
Currently the oldest ones are first and the latest ones are added to the end.

@Kamil Zarychta fixed, please take a look:)
