Try the plugin in the link I provided instead off editing core files. It is safer to use the plugin. Last time I checked it was working with BP 1.7.2 however I cant promise it will work when BP 1.8 is released and I do not have plans to further update it.

You can try this plugin but I quit updating it because I felt it was obsolete.
