Great contribution! I just don’t want to have to modify my core files yet. 
does this plugin add tables to the database?
I just found what I need: The events-component (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1333) should be a good example to start with.
You would basically be using an existing plugin that does close to what you want, and modifying it to fit your needs. People have taken the groups plugin and made various random plugins out of it, for links to amazon store products, etc…
Normally you access your plugins in the members area, like ‘Profile’, ‘Messages’, ‘Settings’, ‘your-custom-component’, e.g. http://domain.tld/members/admin/your-custom-component.
I want to create a component that’s not related to the members area and can be accessed like http://domain.tld/your-custom-component.
Can I do this using the BP plugin system, or do I have to write a WordPress Plugin?
Skeleton theme has now been updated to version 1.2 and is compatible with BuddyPress 1.0.
Not sure what you mean “really custom”?
Forum topics are only created through BuddyPress and not directly in bbPress so they should show up. They show fine in the actual groups but not on sitewide activity. I am going to go check the error logs now.
@John: I wish I could find out, there are more people with the same problem; although it seems to be (only) with sites already having data in them…
@Andy: I’ve been copying over the database tables using phpmyadmin and by deleting entries I’ve found out the buddypress installation worked shortly. Too badly, I couldn’t redo the same routine …
I have a question about the loader.php in the css directory.
I followed all steps of the instruction:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypress/upgrading-from-rc-1/
However my directories were messed up. The styles weren’t applied. I figured out that it has something to do with the loader.php in the css directory.
My question is if it is possible to just copy the RC2 /css/loader.php in my customn theme /css/ folder? I’m afraid, cuz the new loader.php is much smaller with significant less file imports (where are the imports for e.g. grups.css / blogs.css /friends.css / wire.css)?
I figured, that it was bp-invites plugin that triggered update. BuddyPress no core plugins shouldn\’t be updated from admin panel, but FTP. That\’s from my experience.
FTP gets hyperlinked. wondering why…
If removing those lines fixes the problem for you, I would say remove those lines.
Those are settings that need to be modified to correctly for your particular install. WordPress and bbPress will often times suggest those settings for you, but it may not have gotten them correct.
I think I understand what you’re saying, and honestly it doesn’t resonate in my mind how this could happen unless your cookie settings are mucked up. WordPress and BuddyPress use the same login and logout functions, they are performing the exact same tasks.
Try deleting all of the cookies for your particular site, and try logging in/out again.
Have you attempted to integrate bbPress or have you modified your cookie settings in any way?
Do you have BuddyPress Blogs enabled on your site? Does this happen for every user on your site?
Which versions of BuddyPress and WPMU are you using?
OK, I found the problem, but I don’t have a solution, if you look at https://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WPMU and this is upgrading for 2.7 to 2.7.1 but the process is the same with 2.6 to 2.7.
You see:
define(‘ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/’);
define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);
define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ”);
define(‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ”);
If I add that into wp-config.php as instruct, when a user log in and then use the log out link from wp-admin or on the adminbar, they are log out from wp-admin but not really log out from buddypress member or home theme or adminbar at all. Though if you log out from buddypress member or home theme directly, you are log out of everything, but adminbar still is a problem as when you click log out it only refresh.
Hope that clear the fog up. So when I remove those lines above from wp-config.php, everything works just fine.
How to fix?
me to,
does the widget appear on the users main profile page?
I think the reason you haven’t gotten a response here is that people are having trouble understanding what you are talking about. Are you using wpmu 2.7.1 as well as bp RC2? wpmu 2.7.1 is required.
Also when you try to logout from adminbar using ie8, it won’t work! You are still log in no matter how many time you try to log out from admin bar. Please help?
This will pretty much allow for unlimited access to any BuddyPress data from any other part of your site in a very straight forward and easy way.
Outstanding work and great write-ups too!

…and find the topic that explains how to change the BuddyPress logo.
Ghost in the machine?
No WordPress/BuddyPress/bbPress install can push out an update, only pull.
That means you have to request the files yourself.
BuddyPress offers no additional permissions or restrictions settings at the moment. Everything you need can be found within WPMU itself, or bbPress Admin itself.
At the moment…
