Hopefully, I can give it a test spin this week. All thumbs up for your efforts and the incubator projects (they justify the new pricing policy). BTW, does it have an API? Or some docs how to integrate other joomla extensions?

There are a couple ways you can add new entries. You can directly insert a new entry into the database as it's specifically designed to be generic. You can use the below method being used in the plugin file (requires CB API to be present and plugin loaded).

$activity	=	new cbactivityActivity( $_CB_database );
 
$activity->set( 'user_id', (int) $user->get( 'id' ) );
$activity->set( 'type', 'profile' );
$activity->set( 'subtype', 'registration' );
$activity->set( 'title', 'has joined [sitename_linked]' );
$activity->set( 'icon', 'nameplate' );
$activity->set( 'date', cbactivityClass::getUTCDate() );
 
$activity->store();

Below is similar to the above, but it uses data API to grab an object (empty or otherwise).

$activity	=	cbactivityData::getActivity( array( 'id', '=', $id ), null, null, false );
 
$activity->set( 'user_id', (int) $user->get( 'id' ) );
$activity->set( 'type', 'profile' );
$activity->set( 'subtype', 'registration' );
$activity->set( 'title', 'has joined [sitename_linked]' );
$activity->set( 'icon', 'nameplate' );
$activity->set( 'date', cbactivityClass::getUTCDate() );
 
$activity->store();

I recommend reviewing plugin.cbactivity.php to see various additions. There are over 400 icons powered by glyphicons.com/. You can download the free package to see what they all look like. The icon name you'd use is just the name of the icon (e.g. "nameplate").

socialfan OFFLINE Gold Boarder Posts: 257 Karma: 1	I am useing joomgallery now. I think the component is very well done and supports CB for a long time. What do you think to provide integration for Joomgallery?

Josh Lewis OFFLINE Expert Boarder Posts: 132 Karma: -	Thanks for voicing my opinion. Eventually I would love to see Joomgallery supported as well in the activity stream. This is my favorite gallery component for Joomla which supports CB.
