Thanks!
Found this:
Under Dashboard > Buddypress > General Settings > Disable Avatar Uploads ??
= I changed that to NO
Now the user has 2 options : 1) Use Gravatar or
2) Upload own photo from his /her PC
Think that works better for my site.

It is more than possible to integrate 123flashchat with buddypress users and groups. It would be no different than what I had done with my elgg setup. Pretty much flashchat can hook into any users database so long as it contains the username/pass.
flashchat has the capability of having unlimited chat rooms (groups), so it would require a script to auto-generate a new chat room upon group creation. Then it’s simply a matter of tying the user system together.
When I get the time I will read through all the code in my elgg install, so that I can get a clear picture of how they integrated it for me. The language barrier was SO bad that I gave up on them and just kept sending trouble tickets until they got it all right.
The web-messenger also would tie in the same way. There is even a ‘facebook’ bar available for that. However messenger is more like msn messenger than a chat system. It’s one-on-one chat instead of multi-user. I still use that system every day, as do thousands of my members.
You are correct, there really is not a comparable product anywhere else. Yes, it is crazy expensive, but really worth it.
@anointed
I took a first look and I decided I let their people do a $19 per month (1 month) install of the hosted option to check it out. When I dive in the tech specs on their site: i’m glad that I found the first professional solution out there.
I did not find anything even remotely comparable up until now.
It is expensive though. I only have very limited budget.
I am having this exact same problem. I am fluent in html and css but it doesn’t matter what I do to …mythemefolder/activity/index.php, none of the changes are displayed. I’m attempting to view my work by going to the nav bar at the top and choosing “My Account > Activity”. I feel like hkcharlie and myself are missing something as the instructions in Step Three are very straightforward and this should be really simple to implement. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your time.
We are running SimplePress not bbPress. We found bbPress to not be up to our needs.
Integration with buddypress is really good, though the template system leaves a lot to be desired.
I’ll be very interested in seeing this @DJPaul . In my case, I would love to be able to give admins the authority to award certain achievements for offline activity.
Kind Regards

DJPaul is currently updating his Achievements plugin which wil allow you to do this. You can see his comments here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-points
Hope this helps!
Have you set this in wp-config.php? It may go some way to assisting.
define( ‘BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE’, true );

Cool, much simpler than what I thought!
if ( !bp_is_blog_page ) { do this on buddypress pages }
seens to do the trick, marking as resolved.
I have been playing with this too,
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2131#comment:2
if ( !bp_is_blog_page() ) {
add_action( 'wp_title', 'bp_get_page_title');
}
lets me use my theme frameworks title on non BuddyPress pages.
Hey @modemlooper;
I’d like to know how you do that… I’m trying to alter the layout of the updates on our (child theme) activity stream page at http://www.hypergripe.com/activity/ so that when a blog update is mentioned, the permalink to the blog post is on the next line and bolded, or in an h3 tag or something to look like a blog title – (the way the code is now the second link does not have a css identifier, and adding css to that specific link is impossible – i think).
I tried to alter the core bp-blogs.php file on line 433 and line 468, where it SEEMS the code for the activity stream is getting generated, but when I change this line:
$activity_action = sprintf( __( '%s wrote a new blog post: %s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int)$post->post_author ), '' . $post->post_title . '' );
to this:
$activity_action = sprintf( __( '%s wrote a new blog post: %s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int)$post->post_author ), '
' . $post->post_title . '' );
then upload it, there is no change on the activity stream page….
I’m baffled. Ya, I know I’m changing core files – I’ve customized a few core files but have made a schedule of changes for future updates – or until there are gentler fixes. 
Thanks in advance – your participation in other threads has been very helpful!
Thanks Andy I’ll have a rummage for that in a while.
Can you clarify though, why the change? as it does make preserving child theme extended from original theme files all the more awkward. I’ll be a little more indifferent to this when I get time to properly start from scratch but for the moment have to live with extending from existing markup and styles.
I would also love a little reassurance from the Dev team that creating real themes not just skins based on existing files with mix of views and controllers. I say this only as I’m a little concerned by the decision to move the default theme into the plugin buddypress folder for ease of updating as this suggests that crucial files one may have rewritten or customized might actually be updated by newer versions and these updates will have to be identified and transposed to ones custom files.
I can understand the decision to work this way keeping default theme within an upgrade structure but worry slightly that it’s not perhaps the best route for those that do intend to spend a bit more time than simply skinning; then again perhaps buddypress is best suited to simply skinning with a few adjustments made through functions.php etc which I could live with actually but only if developers stopped trying to output naughty markup such as empty div elements used to provide clearing A COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY APPROACH AND WRONG on many counts 
(sorry needed to get that off my chest )
Need some help with this. I’ve located the code in ajax.php to edit the activity comment meta. Problem is I don’t want to fudge with core. I copied files over to child theme but BP doesn’t recognize this file in the child theme. I’ve changed this code yet it does not reflect on the page. What am i missing?
Code:
<div class="acomment-meta">
<?php echo bp_core_get_userlink( bp_get_activity_user_id() ) ?> · <?php printf( __( '%s ago', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_time_since( gmdate( "Y-m-d H:i:s" ) ) ) ?> ·
<a class="acomment-reply" href="#acomment-<?php bp_activity_id() ?>" id="acomment-reply-<?php echo attribute_escape( $_POST['form_id'] ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Reply', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>
<a href="<?php echo wp_nonce_url( $bp->root_domain . '/' . $bp->activity->slug . '/delete/' . bp_get_activity_id() . '?cid=' . $comment_id, 'bp_activity_delete_link' ) ?>" class="delete acomment-delete confirm"><?php _e( 'Delete', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>
</div>
we need something like is_page() but just for buddypress specific pages so I can check. and send it over to the buddypress title function otherwise use my normal titles from wordpress.
The problem is that if you don’t let buddypress use its own function for the title tag, all the buddypress specific pages will show the most recent post’s title for all buddypress specific pages…
what a huge bug.
same problems as the others … clicking on the dropdown links at the top of the page just takes me to the front page …except if I log out, in which case they work .
I am not using the bog standard template for the site but a heavily modded Mimbo theme .. you can see the site here;

I have deactivated all plugins and the re activated one by one without success so I have a feeling it is some missing code that the BuddyPress template Pack did not manage to install.

I did re-install from admin menu, still the same problem.
Error message upon activation: Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Ok, I was wrong above. @kriskl is talking about the Forums index page, while my other post — https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/changing-group-tab-display-defaults — is about changing the default tab view within the Groups pages.
But this is an interesting problem also. I looked at your pointers above, @r-a-y , but I couldn’t figure it out. The Standard Loop page you linked to shows the code for
bp_has_groups()
but then below that it has the “accepted parameters” for
bp_has_site_groups()
a function which I couldn’t find anywhere in BP. Likewise the “most-forum-topics” & “most-forum-posts” arguments for the “type” parameter of that function.
Here’s what I think it would be cool do do, but I’m not sure how to do it:
Currently, logged-in users see two navigation tabs for displaying forum Topics on the “Group Forums Directory” page accessed by clicking “Forums” in the general navigation (default display tab in bold):
[All Topics (25] [My Topics (12)]
How to implement the addition of a new default tab that lists all of the Group Forums, with the same filtering options? then the Forums page sub-nav tabs would look like this:
[All Forums (11)] [All Topics (25] [My Topics (12)]
Creede – Could you tell me how did you reinstalled the forum ?
I am using standard buddypress theme and all other plugins are inactive, I don’t have any problem in making them active after upgrade.
If none of this works, I would like activate from backend, can someone tel me where to enable BP from backend ?
Qualify: are you referring to the title tag or heading tags?
I have the full directory in my theme folder /groups registration/ etc.
Then there is also those files in the buddypress template plugin, but I assume those are the ones that got copied to the theme folder. And then there is also those that are in the bp-themes folder.
I tried removing both of those folders as well, and it still worked.
Maybe it is something real simple that is missing? But I think I followed all the instructions and everything seems to work except that the pages doesn’t align with my theme.
If someone wants to take a peek I can pm my info.
ended up reinstalling wordpress and buddypress. not sure what the problem was but its working now.
I had this same problem. I ended up doing a couple things. I made sure all my other plugins were disabled, I reinstalled the forum, and I made sure I was using a standard buddypress theme. One of those things seemed to fix the problem and my buddypress plugin went from fatal error to saying it was activated.
@hempsworth
A nice feature would be to be able to suppress the built-in favoriiting of BP 1.2. I use a child theme off of this simply for aesthetics and know I could just remove that function template by template. But it’d be nice to just kill it with a switch.
The redundancy between BP Like and Favorites is keeping me from using BP Like.
Thanks,
