Just wondering if it’s possible to make the status update, update in your profile once you click “post update” currently it shows in your activity feed straight away however you need to refresh the profile page before it shows up… i’m guessing its outside the ajax or javascript that runs the activity stream?? Also is there a way to limit the characters of the status updates? or point me towards the files which handle it, thanks

I’m sure it is possible to update both using some javascript. Twitter essentially does this on your homepage when you’re logged in. Javascript is not my strong suite so I couldn’t say for sure. As far as setting a character limit for you status updates, you would use the ‘bp_activity_content_before_save’ filter located in the BP_Activity_Activity::save() function, in the file bp-activity/bp-activity-classes.php.
