BuddyPress.org

cool, already looking into that now.

although (correct me if im wrong), that seems to create a standalone component accessed via;

http://example.com/component/

However I was wanting to create one that ties into the users profile…. such as

http://example.com/members/some-member/my-custom-component/

Could you give me some pointers on to how I should get started?

Cheers
