That or pull the forum RSS into an RSS widget. That would work as well.
There is a WP plugin that pulls latest bbPress discussions that will work on the main blog as well as any other blog on the system now.

ok i understand, you want a thing like activity, but that shows only the activity of group forums (all forum or only one?) but it’s simple too..
you could use feed for example tomorrow i will check for it..
No, I can’t really. I’ve just begun learning about web development and at this point, I’m all plug and play with a tiny bit more learning creeping in every day. If you could help me, I’d sure appreciate it.
It seems to me that the function already exists, since the Site Wide Activity widget captures the Recent Group Forum Posts. The problem is, it captures everything else too. I only want the Group Forum posts. See?
can you develope in php?
if yes, you could develope a php script that add an action : when a user post someting, it has to be stored in the db,
or searching for a function in bbpress documentation that shows last articles..
i believe that if you knows a bit of php you can do the second one..
Tomorrow i will open http://buddypressdev.org forums and there i will post some lines, if i can with time!
Oh, thank you, Nicola. I had a feeling you could help. 
The forum activity IS showing in Site Wide Activity. At least it does for me.
You don’t want to use the RSS widget, because those links take you right to your bbPress install instead of to the forum of your group page.
If i’ve time tomorrow (in italy is midnight), i will write a plugin and i will post it on http://buddypressdev.org 
You could always use the RSS widget, and bring in the RSS feed for the forums. Would be a simple solution.

Going to test this out in a few hours! 
Thanks Trent!
Don’t put them into this thread, but rather a new topic in:

burtadsit,
You know, I may have, but you awesome folks make in so easy to introduce a new brand of trouble just about every semester. Here’s to you, BuddyPress looks awesome, and your support here is no small part of that. Thanks
I think that andy will do something on activity as soon as possible, and if you don’t know php you’ve only to wait …
Thank you you. You’re welcome here
Well, I would limit the amount that is allowed to be shown on the widget, say 10 updates…which wouldn’t be too hectic, I think.
Sounds kind of complicated, since I know very little php.
thanks, nicolagreco!
I think that it will pollute the sitewide activities.
So i think that Andy has to write a configuration settings of activities for each user..
yes, i wrote some lines of code, i hope it works https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=485
Hi jimgroom. You planning on causing some social networking havoc over at umw.edu soon? Haven’t you caused enough trouble already there?
Nicola, what is it you are looking for? A personal blog for each user? I think this is a good idea also. Actually I’d like to extend that concept to group blogs also. Blogs need to be more integrated into the bp framework.
Every member needs a blog and every group needs a blog all integrated into the theme like the wire and forums. My next little project, when I get time, will be to create a ‘Group Blog’ plugin that allows a blog admin to configure their blog as a ‘Group Blog’. This will allow instant author/contributor status to specific Groups.
Then I need to modify the member theme to integrate Blogs into it like the Forums are integrated. Not going to have time til after the 1st of the year though.
Trent,
I just want to say thanks, this solved all my issues, and it is working beautifully now. You rock!
You are running on windows right? Just a guess. Before installing bp you need to get mu running properly. It’s a pain on windows. What package are you using? WAMP?
To get your subdomains to work you have to edit the ‘hosts’ file in windows for *each* blog you want to have running on your windows box. The hosts file is in:
Windows 95/98/Me c:windowshosts
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:winntsystem32driversetchosts
Windows XP and Vista c:windowssystem32driversetchosts
Once you find it you have to create a line for each blog so:
127.0.0.1 ourcommoninterest.dev
127.0.0.1 adminstoy.ourcommoninterest.dev
That’s a sample from my laptop which I use to play with new things in mu, buddypress and bbpress. This is only the beginning of your problems on windows. I know I went thru *all* of them.
However, for now, you should replace the domain name with your chosen domain name. Replace the subdomain name with any blog subdomain name you’ve chosen. ‘trial’ in your case.
Try reading up on what it takes to install mu. Then what it takes to install mu on windows. Google finds lots of things related to mu. Here’s a start:
https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=4624
You also need to follow the directions in the mu readme.txt file as it relates to apache.
Burt, I got the alphabet letters to be blue instead of orange. Thank you.
Sorry I couldn’t figure out the freenode thing. I got a client and connected but was denied. I guess I don’t have a user account? Well, anyway, I’m happy with the forums. I’ll try to wait longer before I post, so you have more time to answer.
Thanks again for the help.
Also, in the interim you could use the forum RSS feeds for notification.
This function isn’t in BuddyPress yet as far as I know but it should be a pretty easy addition. I’d create a ticket on the Trac (trac.buddypress.org) marking this as an enhancement.
@gogoplata wonderful! Glad to hear a forums success story once in awhile.
