Hi Peter,
thank you for your answer. Regarding your response, please let me ask the following:
your request will probably lead to sculpting some SQL to draw out the info you need in the way you want. Mostly these type of requests lead to making a separate module that does what you want based on the DMX data model.
I guess our request is a popular feature people request, so do you know if there are any additional modules or implementations available which we could re-use (maybe from other users)?
There is an RSS feed coming out of the DMX which can be tuned to a large extent. Check this out to see if it fits your needs.
Do you think it will then be possible to merge that RSS feed with other RSS feeds or data we would retrieve from some modules sql tables do have an integrated update feed/journal and furthermore these items can be linked to the corresponding page (e.g. an item from the DMX RSS feed will link to that document, an item from some other update stream will link to that items page etc)?
Thank you!

Hi Jens,
This is the correct forum, yes. I'll try to answer your questions:
- Is it possible to list the documents a user uploaded/tracks/bookmarks/etc in his user profile?
It all depends on the details of your implementation. Like how you want to hook into the profile page etc. DMX does offer some methods through the DAL, but IMO your request will probably lead to sculpting some SQL to draw out the info you need in the way you want. Mostly these type of requests lead to making a separate module that does what you want based on the DMX data model.
- Can we do similar selection on a department page?
See above
- Is it possible to have an activity/update journal like on Facebook, where all current changes to our intranet including changes/uploads/etc in DMX are displayed?
There is an RSS feed coming out of the DMX which can be tuned to a large extent. Check this out to see if it fits your needs.
- As there are multilanguage versions of documents possible, does this integrate with DNN language selector (so if someone switches from English to German, the corresponding German version of the document is displayed)?
A document is a self contained item and does not have multiple language versions in intself. But the title and remarks of folders and documents are localizable.
- Could be even use the multilanguage feature for articles (like Text/HTML) as there currently is no solution for multilanguage content in DNN available?
I'm not sure what you mean, but see above. Categories are also multilingual.
