From my observation, if the post is small, it gets into the activity stream as whole, with no change in layout. But if it was longer then some limit, it gets converted into an excerpt.

well… I added the code to the functions.php in bp default theme…(I use 1.2.5.2 ) …nothing happened. Where this function will be called? maybe it should replace something, not to be just added? is there a specific spot in the functions.php where to put it? I place it here, in between these two, that were mentioning the activity stream:

/* Hijack the saving of page on front setting to save the activity stream setting */
function bp_dtheme_page_on_front_update( $oldvalue, $newvalue ) {
if ( !is_admin() || !is_site_admin() )
return false;

if ( ‘activity’ == $_POST )
return ‘activity’;
else
return $oldvalue;
}
add_action( ‘pre_update_option_page_on_front’, ‘bp_dtheme_page_on_front_update’, 10, 2 );

/* added function */

function my_bp_blogs_record_activity_content( $bp_excerpt, $content ) {
return $content;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_blogs_record_activity_content’, ‘my_bp_blogs_record_activity_content’, 1, 2 );

/* Load the activity stream template if settings allow */
function bp_dtheme_page_on_front_template( $template ) {
global $wp_query;

if ( empty( $wp_query->post->ID ) )
return locate_template( array( ‘activity/index.php’ ), false );
else
return $template;
}
add_filter( ‘page_template’, ‘bp_dtheme_page_on_front_template’ );

Sorry for being such a dummy, I am not a pro, just an end user..

It didn’t, It wouldn’t even post a new post. Gave me two lines of an error message – something about can not do with a header that was already something.
