It's time to add some actions to our views to build the activity stream for our users. We will store an action for each of the following interactions:

• A user bookmarks an image
• A user likes an image
• A user creates an account
• A user starts following another user

Edit the views.py file of the images application and add the following import:

from actions.utils import create_action

In the image_create view, add create_action() after saving the image, like this:

new_item.save()
create_action(request.user, 'bookmarked image', new_item)

In the image_like view, add create_action() after adding the user to the users_like relationship, as follows:

image.users_like.add(request.user)
create_action(request.user, 'likes', image)

Now, edit the views.py file of the account application and add the following import:

from actions.utils import create_action

In the register view, add create_action() after creating the Profile object, as follows:

Profile.objects.create(user=new_user)
create_action(new_user, 'has created an account')

In the user_follow view, add create_action():

Contact.objects.get_or_create(user_from=request.user,
                              user_to=user)
create_action(request.user, 'is following', user)

As you can see in the preceding code, thanks to our Action model and our helper function, it's very easy to save new actions to the activity stream.
