I installed CB Activities module and plugin. I published the module on my jreviews site and it says "No activity to display" after I create a review. Are there instructions on how to get this work?
CB Activity doesn't just start tracking everything. That's not how it works. It has an API to push activity to the activity stream. If jReviews doesn't have the CB Activity API implemented and in use it won't track activity. The API however isn't done yet in CB Activity 3.0.0 RC1 so with 3.0.0 RC1 nothing currently pushes activity to the stream beyond the status posting functionality.
I'd like to auto action when someone creates a new review to show to cb activity.
That's not how CB Auto Actions work. CB Auto Actions acts on CB triggers and performs the action specific. If jReviews doesn't fire a CB trigger then there's nothing for CB Auto Actions to act on.

I want to hire a developer to make a Jreview plugin for CB Activity (I also did it for the last version) and therefore I need as much information as possible how everything is changed now.
For old version we have a working one, but it doesn't work on 3 series...
Yes, the API is done, but I highly suggest not hardcoding it. Use CB Auto Actions as a bridge when possible as done with the other activity and the System Actions. To do this you'd load CB API then fire a CB trigger. Next use CB Auto Actions to act on that trigger. If done this way it won't matter if the API changes as CB Auto Actions is bridging the two together, which would be updated with any API changes. Below is an example trigger usage.
Code:
global $_PLUGINS;
$_PLUGINS->trigger( 'jreviews_onAfterReview', array( $VAR1, $VAR2, $VAR3 ) );
If CB API isn't loaded it can be loaded using the below example.
Then all you need is that trigger code. You won't need anything further for CB Auto Actions to log the activity. The alternative is to use CB Activity API after including CB API then keeping up with every API change, which could break your integration on each release depending on if the API needed to be changed or not.
