Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
simonle Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 Is it possible to control what kind of content from the other apps is automatically posted on user profiles? I am using the gallery app and I don't want my users profile pages to look like this (see image below) when they create a new album and upload a bunch of photos. I just want the entry "gallery album" to be visible on user profile pages - and NOT every "gallery image" posted. Please tell me there is a way to fix this?
Joel R Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 1. If you're using 4.2+, then it should only post the album as a new content items. I don't think it should post every gallery image 2. This looks like the Activity tab on the user profile. No, there are no settings in general to control or filter the content.
simonle Posted August 5, 2017 Author Posted August 5, 2017 Yes, this is the activity tab on user's profile page. Let's hope IPS will improve the profile pages in a near future, because this doesn't look good:
Optic14 Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 I think surely this must be either a bug or an oversight? As @Joel R has noted if you create a new album with images inside it displays correctly by displaying just the new album update "(member) posted a gallery album in (album)" on All Activity stream: But if you view Activity tab on the member's profile it displays the above AND also each individual image which floods the whole feed.. (bye bye recent status updates - unless you drill l further to "See my Activity" and filter it manually) Is it worth making a ticket about this? I've raised a ticket to get IPS's thoughts..

Optic14 Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 @simonle @Joel R Support confirmed as an issue and should be fixed for next release.

Optic14 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 So we are now on 4.2.4 now and it seems this is still an issue for me at least... and my original ticket was marked as resolved. I've raised a new ticket to see if that fix was indeed pushed through or still in testing phase..
simonle Posted October 2, 2017 Author Posted October 2, 2017 I haven't been able to properly test it yet, will do so later this week. Thanks for keeping me updated.
Management Lindy Posted October 3, 2017 Management Posted October 3, 2017 Sorry for any confusion - the fix did not clear the development review process in time for 4.2.4, but is in fact in 4.2.5.
Optic14 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Hi @Lindy thanks for the update and clarification! I updated to 4.2.5 and unfortunately it seems the issue is still present, at least for me.. I've also updated the ticket. If this can get another look that would be great.
simonle Posted November 5, 2017 Author Posted November 5, 2017 Yes, I am using 425 and I'm still getting the same annoying issue on profile pages. Please fix this @Lindy in the next update!
simonle Posted March 8, 2018 Author Posted March 8, 2018 When a user uploads new images to an album the new images are displayed correctly in one new entry in the activity feed. But when a user uploads new images to a photo gallery without an album, each new image will be displayed individually in the activity feed and profile page. If someone uploads several new images at once it floods the activity feed and the user's profile page, and it just looks so bad. Hey @Lindy ? please tell me this will be fixed in 4.3? ?

Please IPS, consider fixing this in the next update.
Optic14 Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 Indeed on 4.3.4 it still is an issue... still getting a flood of "user posted a gallery image" Instead of getting just the ONE, nice single user "added images to a gallery album in <Gallery album name> @bfarber I remember you applied a manual patch on my forum ( ticket #991005 ) back in October 2017. But it didn't seem to make it in later releases? Will this change be coming in a future release? It would also be great to get that nice single user "added images to a gallery album in <Gallery album name> for: Activity Stream Tag pages Activity Stream: Tag pages: In fact you guys are showcasing the nice "posted a gallery album" on the Activity Stream, on your Content Discovery marketing page! https://invisioncommunity.com/features/discovery/ When users are adding multiple images in one upload! We just need this same consistent behaviour across all feeds - activity stream, user profiles and tag pages! @Lindy At the moment content discovery + member profile feeds for gallery images takes up too much room + excessive scrolling if multiple images are uploaded in one session. They should be consolidated in one row (which already exists for member profiles, and should be added on Activity Streams/Tag pages) and prevent individual "user posted a gallery image" rows from being shown, unless of course they only upload one image in a given album. I hope you strongly consider this suggestion, thank you. ?
