Activity - assets

Hi,

I installed the plugin activities and have a question to assets, because as I understand herewith the stream can be configured basically.

I don't understand all the different possibilities and could not find a documentation hereto.

Could you please explain, what is the usage of (list of the help text):
following
following.only
connections
connections.only
self
self.connections
self.connections.only
self.following
self.followingonly
user
user.connections (what is the difference to connections?)
user ....
displayed.connections (whar is the difference to connections?)
displayed ...

This combination I found: "user.connections,following", what is suggested for using in which cases?

Thanks, best regards
Eric

The assets are basically self explanatory.

following = include activity you are following
following.only = only include the activity you are following
connections = include your connections activity
connections.only = only include your connections activity
self = include your activity
self.connections = include your activity and your connections activity
self.connections.only = only include your activity
self.following = include your activity and your following activity
self.following.only = only include your following activity.

self = viewing user
user = displayed OR viewing user
displayed = displayed user

This combination I found: "user.connections,following", what is suggested for using in which cases?

Suggestion is to not touch asset unless you specifically need a custom activity stream. Vast majority of users will just be using profile activity and for that case just leave it empty. I do not and have no plans to provide a giant list of all the possible usecases as they're effectively unlimited, sorry.

For example lets make up a scenario. You've a 3rd party Joomla extension that provides an event calendar. You want an activity stream for that event calendar. You could have an asset of events.EVENT_ID for a stream specific to that event id.
