CB Privacy Rule

In my CB Privacy→Rule, if I disable the Connections, The Activity at front-end stops working. My current config is below:



In fact I intend to remove the "connections" option from the privacy control, only to keep the "connection types". But it seems I can't make it. It stops my Activity Wall at front-end. Can I remove the option of "Connection" just for Activity? (means not allowing the users sharing their post with their general connection. They can only share with "Connection Types".)

In another topic you set the default privacy rule to Connections in CB Privacy > Parameters > Display. If you disable it it can no longer validate the privacy rule they've selected. Disabling a privacy rule that is in use will auto fail the privacy check causing it to fallback as if it was set to Private to prevent information suddenly becoming Public.

I just checked CB Privacy→Parameters→Display. I didn't see the default is "connection". I didn't select anything. It is below:

OK. I see why. But "Originally" where did I set the default Privacy Rule to "connection"? I thought I set all the Privacy Rule on CB Privacy→Parameter→Rule. You are suggesting there are 1)default privacy rule, 2) Privacy Rule controlled by CB Privacy. When they don't match the system fails.

☆★☆Can I simply remove the option of "connection" for the user? In other words, I want that all users have to put their connection in certain "connection type". Then they can start to share activities. Moreover, can I simply apply this rule without "connection" option on "Activity"? You mentioned the following:

>>You can globally configure what privacy options are available within CB Privacy > Privacy > Rules. If you only want to change it specifically in CB Activity then you have to do so through the System Action that's being used to add the privacy selector. Specifically you'll need to make copies of "CB Activity - Privacy - New" and "CB Activity - Privacy - Edit" then unpublish the system actions and adjust the Rules parameters in your copies.

but I don't quite understand. Could you have more specific instruction?

You need to make sure you've a default privacy rule selected. It can't function properly without a default.

You are adjusting the global values for CB Privacy. This will affect all privacy usages. So Profile Privacy, CB Activity, etc.. You need to be careful what you set there as it's going to cause adverse affects. For example profiles being inaccessible because the user has no privacy rule available to allow someone that isn't connected to them to reach their profile in order to connect to them.

Your options are to override the privacy rules available in Profile Privacy field so at least something like Users or Public is available for profile privacy or to adjust whatever usage you're specifically trying to change. The usage you're trying to change is CB Privacy in CB Activity. The only way to adjust those values is globally or by making a copy of those system actions in CB Auto Actions > System Actions then changing the privacy rules in the copy of those auto actions.

Yes, you do not have to have the Connections privacy rule enabled. It will work perfectly fine with Connection Types only. Simply disable the Connections privacy rule.

Make copies of "CB Activity - Privacy - New" and "CB Activity - Privacy - Edit" in CB Auto Actions > System Actions. Next unpublish "CB Activity - Privacy - New" and "CB Activity - Privacy - Edit" in CB Auto Actions > System Actions. Now go to CB Auto Actions > Auto Actions and edit your copies. You can customize the privacy rules usage specifically and only for CB Activity there.

I simply enabled "public" and disabled "connection" option in the global values for CB privacy. Then it works. Thanks.
