How to change the default My Activites dashlet to user specific?

So we had ran into an issue about privacy, in particular, privacy about files that are accessed on a Site. So in order to comply with the request I've changed the filtering for the My Activities Dashlet to only show the current user that is logged in rather than a user being able to see other member

Please be aware that even if you change Share dashlet UI, the activity stream may still be accessible via APIs for those user's that know where to look ...

Jan,

Do you happen to have a better approach that I may not have thought of? The majority of my users wouldn't have the technical skills to access it.

If its a lot easier to just disable the activities feed I would rather do that, but I'm not sure if that impacts auditing or not.

Yes, you should be able to disable the activity feeds (in the repo) although you may need to override certain properties &/or beans. I'm not sure if this is clearly documented anywhere.

It will not affect audit since the user activity streams are independently tracked and stored in dedicated tables (alf_activity_post -> alf_activity_feed).

I tried a couple of different options.

Configuring the Alfresco 5 Activity Stream | vienergie

This didn't work...

I also tried the option in the alfresco-global.properties file to add the following:

<code>

activities.feed.button.disable=true

</code>

That didn't work either.

I'm kinda at a loss where to go from here. I've searched through the docs and I can't seem to find where you can disable this option.
