Activity Message List is empty when logged in

Activity Message List is empty when logged in

This question is answered

If I browse to my community site anonymously, the Acitivity Message List widget on the dashboard shows lots of activity within my community.

However, when I sign in, the same widget on the dashboard page shows no activity at all.

What is determining the activity messages that display on that widget?

  • That depends on the display mode that widget is using.  The three modes supported

    * Dashboard - shows activity across the entire site that the accessing user has access to

    * Group - shows activity within the current group that the accessing user has access to.

    * User - shows activity made by the current contextual user.

    If the widget is in User mode, then the dashboard has no contextual user, and so will display nothing.

  • The Widget is in Dashboard mode which shows all site activity when the user is not logged in as shown below.

     

     

    However, when logged in, the 'People & Groups' tab is the default selected one which only shows activity for groups the user is in and people the user is following as shown below.  I have enabled the 'All' tab in Dashboard mode to allow the user to view all site acticity and made it the first tab which has solved my problem. Thank you.
