BuddyPress.org

I’m afraid i don’t entirely understand. Are ‘posts’ like ‘blog posts’?

Or perhaps it makes sense to think of them as a special kind of activity item? In newer versions of BuddyPress there is the ability to add metadata to activity items. Look in bp-activity.php for functions like bp_activity_get_meta and bp_activity_update_meta. An activity type called ‘posts’ could then be defined and displayed differently.
