Hi All

I am working on building a site for small group of people for a sports pool. I am building a custom plugin to handle the pool side of things. What I’d like to do is when a player has a transaction, (eg: trade, drop player, etc), post a little message to their activity stream.

I may be misunderstanding, but everything I’ve found so far tells me to create a custom post type, and have it automatically done when a post if written. But I don’t want to create a post per se, just a “status update”.

Is there an easy way to do that? A function to call? Google has not been my friend on this so far.

Thank you for any help.
