To add to the activity stream you call
`
bp_activity_add(array(
‘action’ => ‘I did something awesome’,
‘content’ => ‘more content heret’,
‘component’ => ‘your component’,
‘type’ => ‘activity_thing’
));`
If you are calling this from a plug-in, the function that contains this call needs to be hooked into bp_init
Here is a full description of your options from bp-activity.php
`
$defaults = array(
‘id’ => false, // Pass an existing activity ID to update an existing entry.
‘action’ => ”, // The activity action – e.g. “Jon Doe posted an update”
‘content’ => ”, // Optional: The content of the activity item e.g. “BuddyPress is awesome guys!”
‘component’ => false, // The name/ID of the component e.g. groups, profile, mycomponent
‘type’ => false, // The activity type e.g. activity_update, profile_updated
‘primary_link’ => ”, // Optional: The primary URL for this item in RSS feeds (defaults to activity permalink)
‘user_id’ => $bp->loggedin_user->id, // Optional: The user to record the activity for, can be false if this activity is not for a user.
‘item_id’ => false, // Optional: The ID of the specific item being recorded, e.g. a blog_id
‘secondary_item_id’ => false, // Optional: A second ID used to further filter e.g. a comment_id
‘recorded_time’ => bp_core_current_time(), // The GMT time that this activity was recorded
‘hide_sitewide’ => false // Should this be hidden on the sitewide activity stream?
);`
