CB Activity 3.0 RC4 - a step closer to perfection

Some of you may notice a behavior change with commenting. Previously you could comment on any activity. This was a bug. You are only allowed to comment on activity that you have access to. This means you need to be connected to the user who owns the activity entry (or disable connections entirely) in addition to meeting the create access view access level requirement. Moderators of course are exempt from this. Again, allowing comment on everything was a bug and was not intended. A parameter to disable the connection test is planned for 4.0.0; it will not be in 3.0.0.

Hello guys ,I want to know if you will add more options to control de activity module and menu contents, for example the hability to allow only some specific user posts to be shown on the activity modules/menus. On the activity menu you have some options like recent, hidden, My activity. Those options are not present on the module config.
Also in my website I want to add a module in the home page but only showing the important admin post to the visitors. I dont want to show the users activity like profiles changes, pictures uploaded etc on home. There is any way to control those parameters or can you add that feature? I think that would be very usefull for some websites and situations.

Is there any way to edit the text of 'are you with anyone?' (to 'along with') or to remove that completely from the message area for the stream?

That comes across a bit like a dating thing, and I know it isn't but it just jars with what we do on our site. My testers immediately thought it was asking their relationship status. Oops.

Cool beans either way ... new toys to play with!

Hello
is there any news regarding the API that we can use to replace old CB activity interaction with other components ?
For now the old tutorial has not been updated yet

Thanks

At this time no it's not possible to exclude certain activity from a stream. It will be eventually, but this will not be in 3.0.0. It's scheduled for 4.0.0. Sorry, just not enough time and GJ has waited long enough.

It's a language string so yes you can change it to whatever you like.

The API is feature complete. In most cases you don't need to touch the API and can just use CB Auto Actions. I actually encourage you to implement CB triggers into your other components instead of hardcoding in CB Activity API then just let CB Auto Actions deal with it.

I don't have time to update these tutorials right now and won't for quite some time, sorry. I've just significantly more pressing matters to deal with like getting started on GJ upgrade.
