Hello,
Thanks for the response. I have a few additional questions and remarks:
The asset of the activity module itself I have set to "self,connectionsonly" because I only want the activity wall to show posts of the user and his connections only.
Does this asset setting automatically also apply to the filters, or do they need to be set there as well?
The idea is that all fiters also only show posts related to the user himself and to his connections. However, when I try to apply this, it doesn't work and clicking on a filter just reloads whatever the previously shown filter showed. So I assume that I have put my settings in wrong.
I tried a few different combinations, such as e.g. "kunena.%,self,connectionsonly", or added the "self,connectionsonly" to the "users" field in the filter. I tried the settings as in the examples on your blog post as well, but the same results. When I leave all those out and only do e.g. kunena.% then it also shows posts from users not in my connections.
In addition to have a filter that shows kunena posts of both the user himself and his connection, I also want to have a filter that shows kunena posts ONLY of the user himself and not of his connections (so you'd have a handy overview of all the posts you have made).
As for the groups: here I would like to show posts ONLY of the groups a user is member of. This means:
- no posts of groups he's not a member of, even if the post is made by someone of his connections.
- includes posts of groups he's a member of, even if that post is made by someone not of his connections (but obviously someone who is member of a group he's in).
Also, what asset do I use to show only posts of the image gallery?
Just an idea: it might be handy to make a list/overview of all standard available assets, and exactly what they do. This assets functionality allows for so many possibilities, which is really great, but it also makes it more complesx and the tooltip doesn't really make it clear enough - for me anyway. A list in which I can find any standard asset and look up what it's supposed to do and where it's supposed to be used, would make things alot easer.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
You say that the assets self,connectionsonly only shows activity of logged in users. I thought this would show all your own posts + all posts of your connections (regardless of whether they are logged in at that moment or not). When I change "connectionsonly" to "connections", the same posts still appear. Anyway, I have now set it to "connections".
I did read the parameter description carefully, but I have difficulty interpreting it correctly. I have set the filters as you suggested, but I still get the same issue. This is what I have as filter settings (access level is in all cases "registered"):
Filter: My Posts
Assets: self
Users: (left empty)
Results: this works as expected, it only shows my own activity
Filter: Forum Posts
Assets: kunena.%
Users: connections
Results: does not work, simply reloads the last used filter and therefore shows unrelated activity
Filter: My Forum Posts
Assets: kunena.%
Users: [user_id]
Results: this works as expected, it only shows my own kunena-related activity
Filter: Group Posts
Assets: groupjive.%
Users: connections
Results: does not work, simply reloads the last used filter and therefore shows unrelated activity
Filter: Gallery Posts
Assets: gallery.%
Users: connections
Results: does not work, simply reloads the last used filter and therefore shows unrelated activity
Filter: Wall Posts
Assets: profile.%
Users: connections
Results: does not work, simply reloads the last used filter (it's supposed to show only activity particular for the CB Activity wall, so no kunena posts etc.)
Now when I remove the parameter "connections" in "users" for these filters, they all show the related posts (forums, groups, gallery, ...) but of ALL users and not ONLY connections.
So I'm still not sure what I'm doing wrong...
