Creating a Custom Component Without Plugin

Is there a way to set up a component without going having to do a bp plugin – to unite my different custom post type activities and comments that were already set up through CPT registration and post/comment tracking?

In order to filter activity like this;

$args['object'] = array('blogs','my-video-cpt-stuffs', 'my-other-cpt-stuffs');

Maybe, but not a good idea.
For a custom BP component, it is always best to create a plugin.
Use the existing BP components as a reference – it’s not hard to create a new one and you get the benefits of the kind of filters you need.

@shanebp thanks for the reply

I was looking at the BP component references, even on your event simple plugin to get an idea…

If what I would like to do is just assign all my CPT comments tracking under a united CPT comments component or post component with all the different cpt post actions in one stream, I would need to create a different plugin for each combination of mixed activities?

Let’s say I want to move around specific actons like “updated_profiles” from activity to custom component in order to address an issue like this https://buddypress.org/support/topic/removing-actions-from-activity-stream-with-filtering-options/…wouldn’t it be a solution to reassign an unwanted action to a custom component.
