CPT into activity stream

Hi all, here is my dilema. I have a CPT set up in buddypress. I have this working through the front end, so that people can add/edit their entries.

How would I go about adding said additions and edits to the main activity stream, so that you would see:

“John smith added a new item…”

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

You will need to hook a function into ‘bp_activity_add()’ you’ll need to pass an array of parts such as bp->loggedin_user->id and your CPT as a registered BP componant plus time and date I think.

The best place to research this is to look in the BP skeleton component for guidance .

Thank you Hugo, I will take a look into the skeleton component. If anyone can add anything to this, it’d be most appreciated too

Thanks

look in the file bp-example-activity.php in the buddypress-skeleton-component plugin it’s pretty well commented with all the info and params you need to pass
