New Component – prayer plugin

Hi There,
I have very limited knowledge when it comes to developing, but there is a plugin i would really like to incorporate in a bp site I’m working on. basically it would be a prayer module that would allow users to post requests/praise up to a group and have other group members comment, and click to say they are following, and then have It show up on their profile page, and maybe a sidebar widget to display most recent requests in a group – or request’s i’m following.

Anyways, that is the overview, I can layout more specifics if you’d like… my question is, is there a working plugin that I would be able to modify to make work for my goals, or would this have to be custom written. I would not know how to do this – would you have any pointers for me, or where I could go to get help starting this adventure?

thank you for your time

Two things come to mind:

1. Create a new plugin for a customized Prayer component
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-skeleton-component/
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/creating-a-custom-buddypress-component/
or
2. Why not create a Group called e.g. “Prayers” or “Prayer Requests” instead so that way you rely only on native BP group creation.
You could change the design/layout of your Prayer Group Pages via a plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-css/ or by adding custom body_class to your Prayer Group Pages and then tweak CSS in your theme’s style.css file

You might want to check out Richard Venable’s Biblefox plugin:

It’s not exactly a prayer request module, but might be related to what you want.

Thanks for the input so far…
@mercime – The idea behind it would be that we would allow existing groups (both private and public) to have their own prayer requests so that a group that is based off of a small group bible study per say, would be able to post privately so that only members in that group would be able to view them.

thanks for these ideas, and any more you may have
