== The links you provided linked me to a codex do_action hook page, which is nothing I want. I don’t need hooks.==
@espeon the information contained in linked documents given by @nahummadrid may be nothing you want but those are what you need in order to modify the adminbar. No reason for sarcasm.
@NrFive That was the layout of the BuddyPress parent theme pre-BP 1.2. It’s do-able but not easy as A-B-C.
== every user created blog to be part of the main site ==
It can be as simple as making your blog a multi-author blog in a single WP install. But even if you go multisite, you can achieve the same look and feel by creating the child theme and just changing main navigation in header.php to get navigation of main site with BP.
Extra note:
Trying to achieve this look & feel:

With pretty much every user created blog to be part of the main site…
@pjnu at least we know that there’s no error if you’re using bp-default theme, so it’s not a BuddyPress issue at all. What theme are you using exactly? Have you read your theme docs whether it requires activation of a membership plugin? I would contact theme author especially if it’s a premium theme for support. Good luck.
Getting some errors trying to achive this
`define(‘WP_DEFAULT_THEME’, ‘twentyten’);
define( ‘TEMPLATEPATH’, ‘/customers/gameshrine.org/gameshrine.org/httpd.www/wp-content/themes/fishbook-buddypress-buddypack’); `
This however does not work and gives me a blank screen, asked andrea hope she knows something.
I’m guessing it’s a PHP error, but my webhost isn’t showing it… quite annoying trying to figure out the error….

Alright, that makes sense. Thank you @djpaul .
PJParticipant
@mercime
WP=3.0.4
BP=1.2.7
Tried bp-default and didn’t see the error. Any thoughts on where I should look for that in the theme or ways to omit it? Thanks.
I would like to modify my buddypress pages such as “Activity”, “Groups”, etc to have little icons for the different streams and also in the menu that is displayed when your browsing each stream. Not sure if that makes sense but let me try to give you a visual:
When you’re viewing, for example, the Activity stream you have the options at the bottom… I want to add a cleaner looking menu:
[ICON] [ICON] [ICON] etc.
Activity Profile Messages etc.
Has anyone done this or can point me to some tutorials or tips? I imagine its a combination of php and css modifications (novice at both unfortunately)
@nahummadrid, Thanks for the response.
You’ve got me thinking that I already have an issue then.
For instance I have a page named music. The URL for it is myblog.com/music.
If a user signed up and made their username music then their blog URL would be the same myblog.com/music.
Or am I missing something?
Maybe a prefix can be added to the blogs like what has been done for all of the other elements within wordpress.
i figured out how to set up and insert the dropdown menu, but now it is displaying with the dropdowns expanded… anyone know how to get those to close up like the bar at the top does? I’m assuming that’s a css issue, but beyond that not sure what to do.
also, i have the sql file from my old bbpress forum that i want to bring over and insert into this… is there a way to get the user info and post data out of that and into the new buddypress site?
so glad i found buddypress… it solves everything my community is asking for in one place. kudos to the people who wrote this software! 
Hi,
I am trying to check if a custom field I’ve added to the BuddyPress “Edit Profile” page will come up with custom data.
This is the PHP Code I am currently using – but at the moment it is just printing out the field name, rather than showing the echo “test” bit.
<?php
if ( bp_the_profile_field_input_name() == 'field_17') {
echo "test";
}
?>
I installed the plugin and set all options (search engines/registration) correctly. But this plugin don’t allow me to register. I see login page and below the password field there’s a link “Registration”. But when I click it, I see this login page again, not registration page. Why? WP3.0.4/BP 1.2.7 Nothing plugins else.
PJParticipant
Fields can only be reorganized in their group (why can’t the be moved around to other groups?)
Field Groups aren’t able to be reorganized.
These two setbacks are a bit disappointing. Are there tickets open for these issues or would someone be able to create one for the next Buddypress update? Thanks.
I currently have BuddyPress installed on a MultiSite install of WordPress. (www.gameshrine.org)
Now when you click on “blogs” and click on Visit Blog from “GameShrine” it puts it nicely within the same theme.
When you click on Visit Blog from NrFive, it goes off to “another site”.
Is it possible to make it act just like the default blog and show in in the same lay-out / menu structure / etc.
And if so, how can I achive this?
Many thanks in advance

I find it, in admin dashboard, buddypress setting -> Profile Field Setup.
I notice in wp-admin ->bp-general-settings ->BuddyPress Settings -> General settings, there is a `Disable user account deletion?` and select `No`. Is that mean user can delete their account in in users setting panel? If can, how to do that? Thanks.
You should be able to create a page called Activity and go to your wp >> reading >> settings and change it to static page and choose your activity page. that should put your activity stream up on the front page.
but if you really want something like the twitters as you say..then those are not really live tweets happening. they are editorially run through a continous loop like the plugin you provided. thats what I think is what you’d want to do. I’ve been looking into the same thing for a while and it turns out it’s better to run the most recent Xnumber of activity updates in a scrolling activity loop so it looks active. running the activity refresh isn’t necessarily going to give you that same effect on the homepage if you don’t have constant activity. the closest to reaching this is the activity bar plugin, it just needs to display more than one activity at a time to accomplish this.
Here’s some other related threads:

Good luck. looking forward to seeing this hit the stage.

Hi, Can buddypress sent a message as a e-mail?
I mean in the menu: my account ->message ->compose, users can sent a message to his friends in the site. And I need a fuction that users also can send a message as a e-mail to his friends gmail, hotmail, etc.
Is there have a plungin like this? Thanks.
Great! I just installed this one: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/rs-buddypress-activity-refresh/
And it works great on my profile pages, but is the a way I can display the site wide activity on the homepage with some code?
Please read through this post and try a manual install for the reasons noted in that post.

That needs to be attempted before being able to help that much further, this issue of forum error creating new topic crop up frequently and the solutions covered a few times in threads, it’s a cas of finding the right one for the circumstances.
Also please try searching on a topic before posting as you may well find the answers or steps to follow without needing to post afresh.
Try a search on ‘forum posting’ it returns quite a few threads on the subject.
Hello! I completed my first install of WordPress / Buddypress today and was extremely excited about switching after seeing how easy everything was to install…so impressive, I love it! However, I’ve been struggling all day with the “There was an error when creating the topic” issue mentioned above. I searched for hours on the Internet trying to find a solution and was thrilled to see this post! But unfortunately, nhla’s suggestion to check and uncheck the ‘Enable Discussion Forum’ didn’t work for me. :0( I desperately want a forum for my Word Press so I looked into installing the SimplePress plugin, but…. would definitely prefer to go the Buddypress route.
Are there any other suggestions/fixes for this problem?
I’m using a “one click install” of Word Press v3.0.4, and Buddypress v1.2.7.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I don’t want to give up on Word Press!
