Elgg 1.8 Social Networking

Activity stream

The activity stream is called the river in Elgg. Adding an item to the river is accomplished through a call to add_to_river():

add_to_river('river/object/file/create', 'create', elgg_get_logged_in_user_guid(), $file->guid);

The first parameter is the name of the view used to display the river item. The view must exist before an item can be added.
