CB notifications: Create custom notifications based off asset

Hi Kyle,
I would like to take your GroupJive Notification Auto action and transform it so that it everytime an activity entry with asset groupjive.group.xx.events is created, it notifies all the people inside the group.

What I need to do for that is simply change (or introduce) a condition that basically fires only when the asset groupjive.group.%.events.% is created (then I can do the rest myself).

How do I do that?
Which var do I have to condition against?

There is already a notification for GJ Event creation built into CB GroupJive via Email or Private Message that you can force to a CB Activity notification by enabling the "CB GroupJive Events - Create Notification" system action.

The trigger used be "CB Groupjive - Stream Notification" is only executed when someone directly posts activity on a stream. Activity generated stores directly with activity_onAfterCreateActivity. activity_onAfterCreateActivity does not contain the source or stream objects. It only contains the activity object as var1. So you'd need to change all the var3 usages to var1 and in your conditions condition [var1_asset] using REGEX to ensure its a GJ event activity entry.

Hi Kyle,
Having problems since I cannot even get the system to output a notification. Creation of an event in a third party component creates an activity with asset groupjive.group.27.event.970 (the digits can vary but the letters cannot).

I have set up the following auto Action:
GENERAL
Triggers: activity_onAfterCreateActivity
Type: CB Activity
User: Custom
USER CONDITIONS
[var1_published] Equal To 1
[vari_asset] is REGEX /^groupjive\.group\.\d\d\.event\./
ACTION
Mode: Notification
Method: Create
Asset: [var1_asset].activity.[var1_id].events
Title: has created an event
Owner: [var1_user_id]
User: [action_user]
Date: [var1_date]
Load by: By ASset, Owner and User
OUTPUT
Display: none
PARAMETERS:
Translate: Yes
Substitutions: Yes

What am I doing wrong?

Creation of an event in a third party component creates an activity with asset groupjive.group.27.event.970 (the digits can vary but the letters cannot).

This is probably why it doesn't work, but I don't know. I can't help you with all your custom usages, sorry. Enable debug mode and maximum error reporting in Joomla then in your auto action enable debug and it'll try to queue messages to Joomlas message queue if something fails due to configuration error, access check, or condition.

There is a notification already built in as a system action that is sent to group users when an event is created. It even allows them to set themselves to not be notified using the notification page built into GJ. Just publish "CB GroupJive Events - Create Notification" system action and you're done, this is tested working. I've no idea if this will work with your usage though, but likely not.
