Looking to add a “[user name] has submitted a file” to the corresponding user’s activity stream after a user submits a file via a form on my site. Is this possible?

Yes, you can create your own new activity type, and add to the activity stream as a file is uploaded.

I can’t remember the function calls off the top of my head

Hey Roger,

If you can point me in the right direction that would be awesome.

@mzuvella:

the function you want is bp_activity_add() declared in bp-activity.php

This page shows an example of setting up parameters for a new activity (although they don’t use the function, but take a longer handed route to achieve the same thing): http://blog.slyspyder.com/2010/08/15/integrate-simplepress-forum-into-the-buddypress-activity-stream/
