How to remove item under my activities dashlet

In Alfresco Share, I would like to know is there any way to delete, hidden or disable the items under the my activities dashlet?
let say, I only want to keep "My activities", others are set to invisible.

How to do it? and what file I need to change?

Thanks for help.

Hello,

in the Share application (within the Tomcat server folder structure) there is a my-activities.get.config.xml which defines the available filter types. If you were to copy that to tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/dashlets/ and remove all filter types except "mine", then those options will no longer show up in the UI (after a restart or refresh of web scripts).
Now there is another possibility to change this without overriding the complete configuration file, but this requires a some know-how in Share development / Surf extensibility modules.

Thanks Axel to give fast reply.

In case, the path "tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/" has not consist the sub-folder "site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/dashlets/".
So, I would like to ask should I need to create one?

Thanks.

Hi,

I would like to do something similar, but with a small twist:
A) all non-admin users should only be able to see their own activities in the "My activities" dashlet (on their own dashboard) and in the "Site activities" dashlet (on the dashboards of the sites they are a member of)

the admin user, however, should always be able to see the lists of activities in both "My activities" and "Site activities" dashlets

If I apply the solution outlined by Axel (which was indeed very useful to know about!), there is no distinction in the outcome between admin and non-admin users.

Obviously, the filter information is being loaded from an XML configuration file that is common to all users, and thus it isn't possible to define any user name-based selection in this step. So I figure this selection must be made in the JavaScript code, after reading the filter info from the config.

I've been checking out the JavaScript files in the ./tomcat/webapps/share/components/dashlets directory, for example activities.js, my-activities.get.js and site-activities.get.js, but couldn't figure out how to proceed.

Any hints about where I should be looking, and what to do, would be greatly appreciated!

PS I run Alfresco Community 5.0d under Linux (Ubuntu 14.04).

Hello,

in the JavaScript code for the my-activities.get.js you could use <a href="http://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/references/APISurf-rootscoped.html">Surf root objects</a> to determine the current user and ignore the filters accordingly (when they are being loaded from XML). I'd advise not to check for the user name "admin" explicitly, but use the "isAdmin" property of the user to check if he is either "admin" himself or a member of the admin group.

Thank you very much for this tip, Axel - I will try it out!

After removing all filter elements from the filter-type element in the my-activities.get.config.xml except for the filter element with the type and label attributes "mine", this does limit the list to one entry in the drop-down. However, it seems to be whatever the entry was last selected. So, for example, if the entry had been "Everyone's activities" that shows with no drop down. I was expecting only "My activities" to show. Is there something needed on the alfresco side as well as the share side to force only My Activites to show? I am running community edition 5.1.f.

Thanks.

Hello Axel,

So I have been able to filter out all of the filter types except for "mine". The issue I'm running into is that there is not a way to automatically remove the filtered part so that other people's activities stop showing up. Where would I even begin to make this change? I've asked several times in the past and I'm hoping that I can atleast get pointed in the right direction.

I really do not understand what you are referring to right now... if you have removed all filter types execpt "mine" then there should be no way other peoples activities show up. What to you mean by "automatically remove the filtered part"?

On a site activities widget before you make a modification you can see members of the site and what they are doing. After making the modification those same activities show up on the widget. Now this can be old notifications on the feed. The only way to filter those off the widget is to have the user click on "Everyone's activites" and then select their own. What I want to be able to do (if possible) is eliminate the step where a user must do that in order for the filter to work properly.
