    Hello,

    My current index page on buddypress is activity, I would like to know if it would be possible to define a page which will show a global preview of all the network (the tags used, latest posts, …) Somethig like this : http://blastr.com/

    Do you have any advice / tips to do tgis ?

    Thanks you for your help.

    Best regards,

    Is this a good place to start to do what I want ?

    In fact you want to obtain on your maner something that BP does on his side. If i understand correctly, the whole community activity is already on the “activity” page. But if you need only somethings and not all, you can use filters.

    Search in the doc for “filters” and how to implement them. What you see on blastr (witch is not a BP site) are latest posts essentialy and a big CSS work.

    Sorry I didn’t explained myself very well.

    I don’t want to replace the activity page by an other one.

    Here’s my current buddypress menu : Home (activity) | Members | Group | Forums | Blogs

    Here’s what I would like : Home | Activity | Members | Group | Forums | Blogs

    Home would be a page similar to the home page of blasft (it’s an example), where there will be different design and will encourage the visitors to register an open a blog.

    On this page they will be :
    - tags used in all the blogs,
    - latest blogs posted
    - others stuff to create a good looking portal

    Best regards,

    You just need to create a new page with a custom page template and assign this new page as the front page:

    Once you’ve done this, “Activity” should automatically be added to the nav menu (I think!).
