i think this forum is dead…no one wants to reply no one wants to code..

How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin

damn the spammers.

Use the following function
bp_follow_add_follow_button(array('leader_id'=>$displayed_userID, 'follower_id'=>$current_userID))

Here is how i added the follow link to the activity stream.

you have to add two lines of code to two template files. /your_theme/activity/entry.php and /your_theme/activity/comment.php

This is the first line of code needed in both files, place it towards the top of the file, this is to make the buddypress object available in the file
<?php global $bp ?>

This line of code is used in the entry.php file
<?php bp_follow_add_follow_button( array('leader_id'=>bp_get_activity_user_id(),'follower_id'=>$bp->loggedin_user->id)) ?>

This line of code is used in the comment.php file
<?php bp_follow_add_follow_button( array('leader_id'=>bp_get_activity_comment_user_id(),'follower_id'=>$bp->loggedin_user->id)) ?>

Let me know if you need any more info, good luck,
Jesse

Thanks for providing support, Jesse!

To get rid of the global $bp declaration, you can use bp_loggedin_user_id() in place of $bp->loggedin_user->id.
