We have a client that is using CB Activity and they love it! They would now like it so that any posts from a user's connections also appear in that user's activity on their profile page. Is it possible to configure CB activity to do this? I couldn't see how but maybe I missed something.

Alternatively, could I configure CB Auto Actions to repost a user's post in all their connections activity? I think I can see how to do this for a single connection but not for all of a user's connections in one go. This may be less ideal as it would produce multiple copies of the same post unless it is possible to reference the original post.

Any suggestions on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

It already does this when viewing your own profile. If viewing another users profile you won't see their connections activity. Any activity directly posted on a users stream will also display there (e.g. I view a users profile and make a post on their stream). The activity streams are strictly designed and this behavior can not be changed.

OK, thanks. So if a user posts on their own profile, will a connected user see that post in their profile activity?

If not, is there any kind of post a user can make that will show up on connected user's profiles?

Basically, they want a user to be able to post some sort of announcement that will then show on the profiles of all their connected users. They don't want a user to have to check at all the profiles of their connections to see the announcements.

Thanks

Yes. Example as follows.

My Profile (logged in as self):



Connections Profile (logged in as connection):



Connections Profile (logged in as self):



You'll notice my connection sees my activity and I see theirs. In short it works just like Facebook.
