Problem with creating new Notes stream in groups

Hi Kyle, I am having problems creating an Own notes stream in groups. Basically I want this stream to be only visible for each user (which works fine the way I have set it up apparently) BUT it does not appear in all the groups but only in some random ones.

The use case is that each person in a group can make their own notes in that stream that nobody else can see.

Could you have a look at what is happening? I have attached the screenshots of the auto action below:

Only reason its display would be blocked is probably due to your condition unless you've create access permission issues (check the Create tab and if it's using global check CB Activity > Parameters). It won't show the stream in unpublished groups.

If you also have the "CB Groupjive - Stream" system action still published you might have a display conflict. Be sure in your copy you made the tab rendering unique to your stream under the Output tab of your auto action. It should already have the following.



Adjust it to something like the below.


Also since these are tied to groups I suggest having a CB GroupJive based asset. Specifically the below should work.

groupjive.group.[var2_id].notes.[user_id]

I recommend using a Comment stream instead of an Activity stream though as the Recent Activity page (all activity) and profile activity stream would both end up rendering your notes activity.

Hi
That worked amazing! (and I am an idiot, I should have noticed that the 'id' => 'activity' would have caused the problems.

I have decided to continue using the different asset (groupnotices.[var2_id].[user_id]) because I do not want it to appear on the group stream (it is that persons own private notes).

Now, I want to show the -> Own notes [groupname] next to the activity author (like in screenshot below). How can I do that easily?

EDIT: I have found out what I wanted and that is to be able to add a title (at least) in the Activity ie everytime something gets posted in the own notes, it should have "has created an entry into his own notes in [groupname]"

I have decided to continue using the different asset (groupnotices.[var2_id].[user_id]) because I do not want it to appear on the group stream (it is that persons own private notes).

I suppose you could make a copy of the "CB Groupjive - Stream" system action then adjust Asset to remove the wildcard usage. Specifically "groupjive.group.[var2_id].%" is the wildcard usage. If you've other activity like CB Gallery posts and such that you do want displayed you'd just need to make Asset more specific. There's no real easy way to do this yet since the Asset Exclude feature is not implemented yet, but it's planned.

Now, I want to show the -> Own notes [groupname] next to the activity author (like in screenshot below). How can I do that easily?

You can't without using the asset structure described above. That is added dynamically by CB GroupJive when parsing that asset structure. Only other option is to implement your own custom activity parsing behavior, which you can do from the template files. The below specifically is able to parse activity display.

/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbactivity/templates/default/core/display.php

You'll notice it checks for asset and just calls a template file based off that.

Hi Kyle, unfortunately it does not seem to work.

I have now given it the asset groupjive.group.[var2_id].notes.[user_id] (and it produced then groupjive.group.4.notes.946), however it does not show up with the group name at all as you said. I have tried every which way, it simply does not want to show the group name at all. I have even tried making it a child stream to the parent group stream. Nothing...

Are you sure it should have worked like this?

Are you viewing the stream while in the group? It won't show the group name while you're viewing the group. It should only show it when the stream is being viewed outside of the group.
