Howdy. There’s a function in bp-blogs.php called bp_blogs_record_activity(). It’s triggered by 3 actions in bp. If you look at it, it does some setup stuff and then calls bp’s basic ‘record this stuff as an activity function’ bp_record_activity().

The three actions that trigger bp_blogs_record_activity() are listed underneath the fn.

Do:

remove_action( 'bp_blogs_new_blog_post', 'bp_blogs_record_activity' );

add_action('bp_blogs_new_blog_post', 'NOADMIN_bp_blogs_record_activity' );

Copy the function bp_blogs_record_activity() to NOADMIN_bp_blogs_record_activity(), filter yourself out inside the NOADMIN version and allow all other normal activity to occur.

I’ve got a little utility plugin that is collecting things like this for my mods. No core hacking since Andy has all sorts of hooks builtin for us to use. Like this case.
