are there any good articles or tutorials on customizing the buddy bar to have what you want in it? the codex seems out dated and doesn’t really give much info.

You’d b better off disabling the buddybar and customizing the wordpress bar. There’s lots on the web about that, and the buddy bar is slated to go away, I believe.

Add this line to wp-config.php to re-enable the WP bar:
`define ( ‘BP_USE_WP_ADMIN_BAR’, true );`

Actually, I think you should add that to /plugins/bp-custom.php (would work anyway)

@MaTaX91 as @dcavins said, the buddybar is being depreciated (when BP 1.6 comes out) so, you should use the toolbar.

The toolbar is alot easier to modify too
