[andreasmalta]

Steps to reproduce

1. enable "Group folders" app
2. create a group folder and set permissions to an existing group
3. create a files/folders, edit files etc.

Expected behaviour
I would like the users to be notified in the activity app or by email, like it works for shared folders

Actual behaviour
in the activity stream there are no records...

Using nextcloud 13.0.4 (activity 2.6.1, group folders 1.2.0), other group members still do not receive any mail on changes inside the group folder. If you change something, you will receive a mail for your changes.

Would be nice, when everyone of the group gets informed, when there are changes within the group folder.

Thank You!

Any news about this issue? We really need this feature working - is this issue handled in the activity-part or in the group-folders-part (nextcloud/groupfolders#112)? I would like to help getting this working soon.

[jacestk]

Yep This is a really missing function. I have created severals groups folders and only the user who has uploaded the file is receiving the notification... that's nasty.

Was anyone able to take a look at this yet? This is a make or break feature for the group-folders app in one of my installations.

[noresistence]

I can confirm the issue for 15.0.5
Possibly related to #190 which does not seem to be worked on in recent past

[schmidtadrian]

this Feature would be awesome!

i also can confirm the problem. NC15.0.5 with groupfolders 2.0.3

I can confirm the problem. NC15.0.5 with groupfolders 2.0.4
Sorry guys, but this is a show stopper. you work in teams shared by group folders and the activity is not visible to the members of group folders.
I cant belive that this issue is open for about a year!?
How do you handle this with your team members out there???
Is there a workaround???
Thanks Chris

tis can't be a "feature" this is a basic requirement when running a shared storage platform. Really bad no one is taking care on this.

We need this feature too!

[Mululu]

Push!

We're is the Support Team?

[sscholl]

nobody cares?

[nickvergessen]

We do care, we are just out of ideas:
#190

Any progress about this issue ?

[izzetaydin83]

Find a way to resolve issue:

mysql -u root -D -e "select from_unixtime(timestamp),type,user,SUBSTR(SUBSTRING_INDEX(oc_ldap_user_mapping.ldap_dn,',',1),4) ,app,file,object_type from oc_activity LEFT join oc_ldap_user_mapping ON (oc_activity.user=oc_ldap_user_mapping.owncloud_name) where timestamp > $epoch"

where epoch is epochtime-86400 gives me result of daily activity

[hriekehof]

hi. If the fix @izzetaydin83 does work is there a chance that this can be implemented ?
A fix for this would be really awesome since an activity feed is something everyone expects nowadays from a file sharing platform :)

[Andreas-Kainz]

If the issue is fixed, close it.

[kokotko1337]

@DarkknightAK it is not fixed

@izzetaydin83

This doesn't resolve the issue so please don't write as such. Statements like this misleads most people trying out out nextcloud!

It's a workaround for particular users with mysql root access, which is laughable at best 😃

@nickvergessen @rullzer When will #190 be reviewed? and when will it backported to NC 18? Any ETA???

[phonon112358]

In the meantime, I have manually applied the changes proposed in #190 to my NS 18 instance ... It works like a charm!!! @nickvergessen @wiswedel

Can you briefly explain what you have to do to make this work?

[phonon112358]

You only need to change the /var/www/nextcloud/apps/activity/lib/FilesHooks.php according to https://github.com/nextcloud/activity/pull/190/files#diff-dbc5f6ba450710b214d9d73b15c9f186 (I just copied the changed file from the pull request and overwrote the existing file).
The second file from the PR, you don't even need! ;)

It was really simple...

@nickvergessen is that still the official fix? Because it does not work for me...

I have tried the other fix from you I found here #190 (comment)
Groupfolders now show up in the activity app but mails are not sent
For Activity 1.10.0 the fix was applied to line 234 in lib/FilesHooks.php
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/activity_configuration.html#activities-in-groupfolders

How to get activity mails for groupfolders?

Edit: It does send mails, it just takes much longer to do so. Normally my NC checks for changes every 5 minutes and sends mails (at least for testing purposes) but this mail took 13 minutes or 3 cronjobs to be sent. Still a real fix (at least a checkbox in settings?) would be really useful. The drawbacks of the fix as mentioned in the documentation are not really that significant for most use cases I guess.

[nickvergessen]

We are not going to add a checkbox. The config with dedicated documentation page is the real solution.

[maeno14]

This should work as intended it should be defaulted to show activity in group folders to the members of the group allowed to view the folder.
