The core social widget is Activities. It displays information about user activity on the Site where you added it. User activities tracked include updates to the Documents and Media library, blog posts, message boards posts, wiki pages, and bookmarks. Liferay DXP also tracks information about web content but only displays this information if the logged-in user is a Site administrator. This widget provides a summary of recent Site activity. You can use it on a Site’s public or private pages to show what Site members have been up to, or you can use it on the public or private pages of a user’s personal Site. When added to a personal Site, the Activities widget shows the activities of only that user.
Add the Activities widget to a page from the Add

→ Widgets → Social menu.
Figure 1: The Activities widget shows information about asset-related user activity in the current Site.
Note that the widget provides links to the assets listed in the feed. These links don’t work, however, unless there’s a way to display the assets on the page. For example, if you click a link to a blog post in the Activities widget, that page must have a Blogs widget to display that blog post.
