For GJ Wall :
Ok I made some improvements.
Trying to send emails it seems I had pb with the emails settings : I am working right now on a subdomain mirror site to do the tests (don'ty know if it had some influence ?).
I changed the smtp settings with PHP mail ==> it is working better.
But in the mid time, I had published the Auto Actions for notifications of GJ Wall.
I unpublish and now I receibe email notification when posting on GJ Wall.
The only thing I don't understand is the email address for sender indicated : it shows the super_user_username@domain.com !
don't understand why ?

For Auto Action :

That system action does not send an email. I suppose you can try making a copy of that system action

=> this I understand how to do

then change its Type to email

=> I understand too

and configure the email action as needed.

this I don't know how to do ?

The notification is sent from the user who triggered it. You can set the From Name and From Address for GJ notifications within GJ > Configuration > Notifications.

this I don't know how to do ?

As long as you're using a copy of that existing system action you should be able to set the To parameter for the Email action to [action_user] to have it properly send to the group users. The subject and body of the email is entirely up to you. If you want it to be sent from a system email address and name be sure to also adjust the From Name and From Address in your email action.

Concerning the notification stream on your profile (icon on right side of menu above your profile) :

==> Is it possible :
1/ To change the icon ?
2/ To have the Icon Notification Stream somewhere else in the layout ==> for exemple to have it on its own module (that could be placed in any position) or at least in the CB login Module ?

1/ To change the icon ?

I suppose if you modified the template files. You can find the notifications button template file below.

/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbactivity/templates/default/notifications_button.php

Suggest making a copy of the default template, deleting everything but that file, then in CB Activity select your template folder as the template. This will prevent your changes being lost every time you update CB Activity, but you'll have to maintain that template file and watch for changes.

2/ To have the Icon Notification Stream somewhere else in the layout ==> for exemple to have it on its own module (that could be placed in any position) or at least in the CB login Module ?

Yes, use the CB Activity module and set its mode to Notifications and you can display it anywhere that modules can be displayed.

Sorry,
I should have looked better before posting ==> we can do what I asked for already with CB Activity Module

Ok, just to make sure I understand, could we check together the steps :

1. copy de System Action "CB Activity - Post Notification"
2. modify this copied action as follow :
2.1. in Global Tab > change in "Type" : 'CB Activity' and replace it with "Type" : 'Email'
2. 2. in Action Tab > in the box "To" (of the 'send customized emails') => write '[action_user]'
2.3. fill-in (if needed) the text area "From address" and "From name"

And do not touch anything else

Is this correct ?
