Which of these do I use to differentiate the different types of activity?

I have downloaded a Q&A plugin and when I call `print bp_get_activity_type();` inside the entry.php I got the same `activity_update` type.

I’m adding entries like that:

`bp_activity_add( array(
‘id’ => $activity_id,
‘user_id’ => $admin_id,
‘item_id’ => $post_id,
‘action’ => $activity_action,
‘content’ => $activity_content,
‘component’ => ‘blog-post’,
‘primary_link’ => $permalink,
‘type’ => ‘activity_update’,
‘hide_sitewide’ => false
));`

Is there a function to know what the “component” is or should I change my “type”? I don’t know what I’m doing hehe.

Thanks!

Either way it is still a decent plugin that is useful for novices such as myself. Thanks for your contribution!

https://github.com/bphelp/activity-privacy-component
It gives you and Rich full acknowledgement for the plugin. If this is okay with you then can you point the link:
http://wpmu.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/buddypress-friends-only-activity-stream.zip
to this instead:
https://github.com/bphelp/activity-privacy-component/archive/master.zip
To help avoid confusion? Thank you! :-)

Now the question stands is how do I properly acknowledge pollyplummer and rich fuller as the authors? I don’t think they want to maintain it anymore so do I just list them as contributors in the readme.txt or as the author in the comments section or both? Thanks everyone!

It’s ancients old – I’d be surprised if it still works! ;)  But I never put it in the repo. If @bphelp wants to put it in the repo, feel free – just know that you’ll get lots of emails, etc for support. ;)

However I’m confused as to the differences or at least what is Rich Fullers code/plugin and what is pollyplummers

I would submit the patch to her first and ask whether she would be maintaining the plugin among others.

It is all Rich Fullers work with the slight mod mentioned above. I am not a great coder but I would like to share the knowledge I have learned from others to make their bp experience even better. What is your thoughts on this and would it be a good contribution to the repository? Thank you sir!

All credit goes to Rich Fuller for his great tutorial.
