Thanks @djpaul. I had a feeling that was the case. Any plugin that will get me close that I can customize? Are there any hooks you would recommend looking into that might set me on the right path?

activate bp default theme to test if its the theme. If it’s the theme, you may need to update to latest version.

Just wanted to see if somebody could help me out with the code above – I put it in bp-custom.php and it throws this error:
`Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_has_forum_topic_posts() (previously declared in /home4/mysite/public_html/classroom/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:60) in /home4/mysite/public_html/classroom/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-template.php on line 1131`
Thanks much 
If what you are suggesting is that the BuddyPress admin panel should be redesigned like those examples I’d second that it probably wouldn’t be anytime soon. I’d also add that I really hope it wouldn’t be like those examples as they are really awful UI wise. Sorry but that reminds me of the horrible old school server admins.
Do you mean 1.6? As in BuddyPress 1.6 and BuddyPress 1.5.7? If so, then I’d check in 1.6 as things probably got fixed if a known bug. Alternatively if testing shows then same issue then please report via trac.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4155 seems to indicate it does work though.
Ok, thanks for the reply – I think I’ll crack on with that theme then
Cheers
Hi @Eyal Azulay
It seems you want some conditional fields, this plugin will help may be,
http://wpbpshop.com/buddypress-user-account-type-pro
see how it works
http://live.wpbpshop.com/register/
Google search add site:buddypress.org
@aces : Good call. It was a typo 
@modemlooper : Gah. That’s the problem when it seems that searching the support forums on buddypress.org consistently generates really poor results and so you’re forced to use Google. Gah. Thanks for the info man.
I am now editing a zillion line .po file. Woohoo! I guess we’re done unless someone has a suggestion for better buddypress forum searches!
Not for a few months. There will be betas first to work out the bugs
and bp-custom goes in /wp-content/plugins/ not /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/…
Jeepers, seriously? Changing the page name worked immediately and now I feel dumb. So what was that bp-custom.php thing all about?? What exactly is that supposed to change?
I suppose I can follow the tutorial at https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/ for everything else. Sigh. Thanks!
To change slugs you change the page name and URL for that page in the WordPress admin. To change all instances of the word you create a language file
Languages and Translations
Thanks for the response ray. I will hook into the filter bp_get_activity_action.
Just one quick question, how do I detect whether the user is using HTTPS or normal HTTP connection? Are there some standard buddypress or wordpress codes to do so?
@modemlooper, mate that works a charm, thanks heaps for that
My guess is the theme isn’t loading scripting needed but the plugin does. You could test this theory by trying BuddyPress default
The ‘BuddyPress’ string is used when BP cannot find a site name from the database.
Did you name your site under the “Settings > General” screen in WordPress?
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_General_Screen
Are you using multisite?
How do you pull all of the scopes in? I am having the same issue as @alanchrishughes.
I would like to aggregate all of a users activity into one stream (personal, friends, groups, mentions & favorites).
When I add more than one scope to bp_has_activities in the loop, it only takes the last one.
applying the changes found at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6332 still did not resolve the issue.
The error is being thrown from line 535 of the ‘/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php’ file
I installed buddypress via the plugin finder within wordpress so Im not sure if i got the same files that are from the latest trunk (assuming i didnt since i still have the error)
Current content of the bp-core-avatars.php file are at http://pastebin.com/X8EhUABf
Current content of the bp-xprofile-screens.php file are at http://pastebin.com/JQmj5akV

Thank you guys for your recommendations. So, just to make sure I get this right, Buddypress ships with bbPress 1, while the standalone bbPress plugin is at version 2? Then that makes sense not to downgrade.
Also, @mercime what is going to happen with BP 1.7? If I keep the forums inside bbPress 2.x will they then be integrated into the Groups/Forums? Or will they drop the Forums part of the Groups completely?
If you disable the Group Forums component in BuddyPress, then go to the bbPress settings screen. Scroll right down to the bottom, and there are options about enabling BuddyPress group forum support. You can do this right now. I don’t know what the process is for mapping an (existing) forum to a particular group; might have to edit some metadata in the database to achieve this.
If you’ve got a dev site, maybe give this a try, and then follow up on bbpress.org for any specific problems you encounter. As @mercime hints at, it’s possible right now but not user friendly or bug-free yet.
There are bugs in this process at the moment if you try to do it on sites that have existing Group Forums data, which is why I asked.
I recommend against migrating from bbPress 2 to 1, because at some point, BP won’t ship with bbPress 1, and then you’ll have to move your content back to 2.
Basically, the BuddyPress Group Forums will be migrated/merged into the Sitewide Forums (bbPress plugin) come BP 1.7
Anyone any thoughts? @djpaul why would you advice against such a thing? I would think it’s a good choice, no?
This should be fixed in the latest trunk version of BuddyPress.
However, if you need to fix this for BP 1.6.1, apply this change to your 1.6.1 install:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/6332
If that doesn’t work, let us know.
You could contact plugin developer if he’d like to make it compatible with BP to show up in Activity Stream
