#6893 Remove the per stream notify param

There are also CB Gallery and CB GroupJive builds to go along with this release. These builds are mostly just the addition of notification handling. CB Auto Actions build will also be available this week or late next week (will be away for Christmas) that'll have new system actions for logging notifications in addition to activity action improvements.

Couple screenshots of some of the great new features!

Article Activity Handling:


If an activity entry has an asset of article.ARTICLE_ID it'll properly parse out to the above.

Comment, Like, Tag compact Activity:


If you've comment activity enabled in CB Auto Actions the above for example would be the output if 3 people commented on the same activity entry. This helps avoid a ton of duplicate activity displaying one after another keeping it nice and compact. Note the original entry will still display.

Notifications:


Notifications are now stored separately in the own database giving a very substantial boost to activity stream performance. Notifications currently still do not have any logging behavior, but I am working on a new CB Auto Actions build to add some new system actions for notification logging.

Ok, so far I've MOST of CB GroupJive notifications optionally override with CB Activity notifications using new System Actions. A build with "whatever is done at the time" will be released tomorrow (Friday) and will continue working on CB Auto Actions 7.1.0 after Christmas. Will need to think of additional ways for CB Auto Actions to handle notifications for CB Gallery, etc.. integrations, but will likely be an improvement to the Users parameter being able to specifically target and loop a users connections.

Ok, a new CB Auto Actions nightly build has been released. This includes the upgrades for the CB Activity action to handle notifications and quite a few notification system actions (disabled by default) that you can now enable. I've also made some minor improvements to several of the system actions. For example activity comment activity will work with any activity type as long as it can verify against a source object; this should work much nicer now that activity grouping has been implemented for this activity type. Check out the change log below for what's in CB Auto Actions 7.1.0 and what's yet to come.

More will be coming next week after Christmas, but for now I hope this gives everyone something to try out this weekend and wish everyone a wonderful Christmas! Again, I will be returning Wednesday so Monday and Tuesday support will not be available; thank you for your understanding.

Please be sure you update CB GroupJive, CB Gallery, CB Activity, and CB Auto Actions to best take advantage of the notifications.
