Adding your own events to activity stream

Print

Use case description

The CB Activity stream already has many input streams from CB events, GroupJive events, CB plugin events (Profile Book, Profile Gallery, Blogs, etc.) and Kunena. But sometimes we want to give an extra special activity more focus on our stream.

This use case will create a special activity stream entry based when users update a specific CB field in their user profile. In order to make the use case easier to understand and to perhaps motivate and inspire here is a sample situation for your consideration:

Implementation

This use case can be implemented by configuring a single Activity action using the CB Auto Actions (version 3.4 or better needed).

The auto action parameters for this use case are:

The configured auto action is shown in this screenshot:

And the result when our test user updated the profile mood field is illustrated in the following image:
