Loving ConfluenceFX so far - this seems like a great tool for driving user adoption.
Our main goal is to ensure users keep up with News posts. Is there a way (aside from the desktop UI buttons) to restrict the Activity Reader so it only shows News posts? We probably dont need to see updates to pages or spaces etc.....and (in fact) seeing too many updates will annoy our users. So we'd prefer to limit it to News posts.
Thanks,
Sean
Our plugins are available on a 10-user license of Confluence.

Can you be a little more specific about this. I'd suggest you create a new Jira here where you describe your needs, particularly about the Activity reader and the notifications, how you would like them to behave, etc...
We'll have a look and possibly include it as a new improvement in our roadmap for a future release.
Best regards.

However, our users are complaining about seeing too many notifications, particularly when someone is drag/dropping piles of attachments into the wiki. Our users really just want notifications for News posts. This would be global i.e. they would receive notifications for any News post to which they have read permissions. They might also want notifications for page updates, but ONLY when "Minor change? (no notifications will be sent) is NOT ticked.
It would be great if this could be set somewhere in the settings.
It's the familiar problem of balancing information needs against the need to keep noise to a minimum. To much noise and people stop listening (and turn off the application).
Thanks

Concerning pages, you shouldn't receive notifications if the Minor change is ticked, it's already the case in this version of ConfluenceFx.

Thanks as always for your rapid response.
1. We'd like to restrict notifications globally via admin/server side. Just notifications though, not the desktop client. If this was too hard for you to accomplish, we'd be fine with the restriction settings being available per-user in the desktop client config, particularly if it was possible to configure defaults in the client installer via something like an ini file.
2. Users should be able to decide for themselves what they want to see in the desktop client as per the standard GUI. However, as previously mentioned some time ago, we'd love it if we could control the default Activity Reader view (which we would set to be the News tab, global) instead of the current default Activity Reader tab (which is ALL)
Thanks,
Sean

First, you need to install the AMF connector with the installer provided in the archive. (run the installer-console.bat file if you are on Windows, installer-console.sh file if on Mac).
You'll need to provide the WEB-INF folder location to the installer. On an evaluation version of Confluence, on Windows, the path should be something like that :
If you're using another platform than Windows, you'll have information about the deployed folder of Confluence in the log console whilst running the evaluation binary.
After installing the AMF Connector on the filesystem, you need to put the backport-util-concurrent.jar file into the lib folder where you've installed Confluence (likely at the following location) :
Run your Confluence instance.
In the administration console of Confluence, you'll see a new section called "ConfluenceFx".
You need to add a license key in the "license details" section (demo license available here): http://lab.kapit.fr/users/license/demo/createdemolicense.action?productId=NVYFGNUM02YLFDKKGADOVZCDT7Y04XQM
Then install all the plugins in the plugin console (I think you already did that since you have the Confluence Desktop application running).
Everything should work then. In case something goes wrong, head to the Administrator's guide or the FAQ
Let me know if it's okay with you.
Cheers,
Steeve

the Desktop App is really great!!
Now I want to install it on a Notebook with Confluence 3.3 rc2 on Win7 for a customer presentation, but after the setup.bat (with no error msg) there is no entry under "plugins" in the admin page of conbfluence.
Any hints?
I think I've tried everything so far...
Thanks in advance,
