This is a simple that adds an activity button to the admin toolbar in the fron-end. Once a user (logged in) clicks on the button the activity form will pop up. The form will have a text area for the user to enter anything he want to post in his activity. 
When the user submit the form the plugin will post the info to his activity stream.

BuddyPress Global Search

Very nice. The Ajax search works. But, when I click on all results, it breaks my search results page. It must be the way my theme is set up. To be fair, this could be a rare problem that only a few people will experience. 

Neat, doesn't work

The plugin works great and does exactly what it says. 
I really appreciate that support agreed to my request of adding an apply_filter to their code that enables us to implement a customization we needed, thank you so much for that!

Great plugin & support
