[SOLVED] CB Blogs "Follow" function was created by liaskas
Hello

Is ti possible to have an auto action that will ad a "follow" button on Blogs? I see that there is already a pre-set System Action for CB Groupjive - Follow button.

It is very difficult for users to search for updates by searching though the profiles.

Blog Update stream items are not so easy to use if a large number of users update their blogs daily. For example... in our case blogs are used by members to post their company news or offers on a daily basis. So we are talking about many updates -> many stream items.

So it would be nice to have such an option, so that users can follow the blogs they want and be notified only for followed blogs updates.

Easiest option is to add a Follow field to follow a users profile, which should also display their blog activity. To do this create a Follow field with an Asset of "profile.[user_id]". Blog posts don't have a profile specific asset as they're just "blog.BLOG_ID" so you can't follow a specific users blog posts.
