I’ve ported this (in a very semi-informed and probably mistake-filled way) to work with Forums posts. Works flawlessly on my testbed install, and I’ve been trying to contact Hempsworth here and via his site(s) to send him my work if he’s interested in using it at all.
Posting this here in case he sees it and not email or PM or etc.
Use the oembed plugin, the forums attachment plugin, and either the tinyMCE plugin, rich’s toolbar solution or mine.
That should cover all the bases.

@sbrajesh and @r-a-y, it was the bad bad mercime who added the link to the hack. i promise never to let my alter ego do it again 
The /*disable blog signup for non logged in member*/ code from @sbrajesh didn’t work… it didn’t remove the create a blog from the signup page.. I got a spam blog within minutes.
ah well that’s it for this rainy Sunday afternoon…. When I get some time next I’ll start but updating to php5 and then I’ll check back with the forum. Thanks everyone!

It’s better to make your changes in a child theme. This way your changes will not be overwritten when you have to upgrade BP.
It’s something I can look into. Not sure how off hand. I do have CubePoints working with Simple:Press Forum though. But it’s a direct edit of a file.
(Confirming my blockquote was stripped in my reply, above)
Both of these were powerful tools for me as a moderator.
And indispensable as a user!
Link to forum thread post item in Activity Stream should link to actual post. I’ve done this on my own site by adding an id to the a:link with post-(post#). Needs to be pagination-aware, too, of course.
@skcsknathan001, second what @Andrea_r said. The plugin’s working very well in WPMU 2.9.2 with BP 1.2.3 using subdomain structures. I haven’t tested this yet in installs with subdirectory strucutres, but since all your other MU plugins – Ada Recent Posts, Ada List All, etc – work well in both structures per my experience, I don’t foresee any problems
In addition, kudos for adding an admin page for this plugin at Site Admin > Ada Site Feed to make it easier for others to input the correct feed URL’s The plugin’s full-feed also included the first five thumbnails of images I uploaded via BPGallery rc4 and published to activity stream – very cool.
Many thanks again..
more or less, you can test it out over on:

I’ll zip it up if you want tomorrow.

I noticed “add friend” was replaced by “follow.” Profile details seem private. And, I like the permalink button in the activity streams.
Has anyone made this BuddyPress-compatible yet?
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
So all I had to do was add the following two code snippets to my /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php file and both these issues are fixed! Next step will be upgrading to php5.
/*redirect activation email to admin for approval*/
function my_redirect_activation_email()
{
return get_site_option( “admin_email” );
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_to’, ‘my_redirect_activation_email’);
/*disable blog signup for non logged in member*/
add_filter(“wpmu_active_signup”,”bpdev_check_current_users_blog”);
function bpdev_check_current_users_blog($active_signup){
global $current_user;
if( !is_user_logged_in() )
return “none”;
else
return $active_signup;//if the user is logged in, do not change the site policies
}
found it I think… wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php, line 225,
Thanks so much @r-a-y that code worked….
I’m really struggling to find my way around – I’m experienced with WP but not with WPMU or BuddyPress structure. How do I change this text?

Try using the post snippet I posted above.

Any chance to get this working for group forums?
Since the code … code here is weird right now: http://buddypress.pastebin.com/xZuQapR1
Line 28 is the one I’m 99% sure is wrong.
@dandelionweb
function my_redirect_activation_email()
{
return get_site_option( "admin_email" );
}
add_filter('bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_to', 'my_redirect_activation_email');
Add this to wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php or your theme’s functions.php file.
@r-a-y I have no idea where to begin with this…. I guess I’ll give the core hack a try
thanks
hi Boone
The master feed is still working
https://buddypress.org/forums/rss.php
I am still able to see all the updates via that. So I guess, that’s an Intelligent move by @apeatling.
Yes, It feels a little bit clumsy, but that is just a matter of days until we are going to get accustomed of it.
My only concern is, whether the users will be able to find relevant groups to post or will just wonder in the so many 100s of Groups.
