Re: What template does this use?
@lunakm – You see all the comments in the activity stream anyway… but, ok… having the link to give someone is useful in your use case.
Part of the annoyance, is that the view link is there by default, gives a poor user experience, is useless 99% of time, and difficult to remove (it’s not as simple as an edit in a template file).
Keeping the permalink page is fine, but the view link to it probably shouldn’t be included as part of the default long activity header string that’s generated by the core activity files.
i.e. the view link should be opt-in, not ‘re-implement’ a core function (or write a ‘very clever’ string parsing filter) if you want to remove it
