Create Group button like Create Account

I would like to add a button to the home widget that has a create group button if the user is logged in. I want to encourage group creation and think this would be the easiest way. I’m not sure where to start on this one. Can someone point me in the right direction?

never mind, that was easier than I thought. had to do a hack in bp-core-widgets.php

add this under the function: (function bp_core_widget_welcome)
```
global $current_user;

$username = $current_user->user_login;
```
add this under the Create Account button: (line #49)
```
<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { ?>

<div class="create-account"><div class="visit generic-button"><a hre f='/members/<?php echo $username; ?>/groups/create' title="<?php _e('Create a New Group', 'buddypress') ?>"><?php _e('Create a New Group', 'buddypress') ?></a></div></div>

<?php } ?>
```
how can i avoid a core hack on this one?

EDIT: Had to put a space in the href in order to get the code to display somewhat normal in the forum. Make sure to remove that if you use this.
