Extending BuddyPress

I’ve been using the skeleteon component to create custom plugins, and it’s working great.

What I want to do now is create a really custom component, like the Blog-, Members- and Groups-Component.

Is there any documentation available on this topic, or can anyone give me some hints?

Not sure what you mean “really custom”?

Normally you access your plugins in the members area, like ‘Profile’, ‘Messages’, ‘Settings’, ‘your-custom-component’, e.g. http://domain.tld/members/admin/your-custom-component.

I want to create a component that’s not related to the members area and can be accessed like http://domain.tld/your-custom-component.

Can I do this using the BP plugin system, or do I have to write a WordPress Plugin?

You would basically be using an existing plugin that does close to what you want, and modifying it to fit your needs. People have taken the groups plugin and made various random plugins out of it, for links to amazon store products, etc…

I just found what I need: The events-component (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1333) should be a good example to start with.

jotem, look for references to ‘root component’. That’s what you are describing.
