Orchard CMS - Workflow Custom Activity Recipe

Question

Can anybody help me create a recipe that activates the custom activity that I have created?

I have a module in which I have created some custom workflow activities. I'd like those activities to be activated when I install the module so I wouldn't have to go the Workflow panel each time and create the activities.

Please, help me with this by pointing me to an example or resource that demonstrates a way to do this.

If you are using 1.7.2, Check Orchard.Roles.Activities or 'Orchard.Comments.Activities'.
You need to decorate your Tasks with [OrchardFeature("Orchard.Comments.Workflows")]
Then in your Module.txt, add your feature Name Orchard.Comments.Workflows as a dependency of your module
Check Piedone.HelpfulLibraries from the Gallery. He does it there very nicely and the Author: Piedone is an Orchard Team member.
Actually download the Combinator Module, that calls the HelpfulLibraries.
That should do it.
I am actually going to do something like it, this week. I thought that was the way.
Let me know, Cheers
