Buddypress profile on existing navbar
-
I’m wanting to integrate buddypress into my existing navbar on my site. At the moment the buddypress profile (notifications count, howdy user and menu) are in the top right of the WordPress admin toolbar. What options do I have to move this / add it to an existing navbar (basically the way this website utilises its own navbar and not the WP adminbar.
Thanks in advanced.

I think you need a child-theme and change the header.php to include your custom navigation, I have created a similar menu but did require a lot of work in the header.
When new messages the number of messages shows in the message-icon, links to profile page, also woocommerce integrated and a dashboard link for admin only.
The following is in my custom header.php
First code links to profile.
<li><a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain(); ?>" class="activitylink" title="My Account"><span class="dashicons dashicons-admin-users"></span></a></li>This code deals with messages.
<li><a href="<?php global $current_user; echo home_url() . '/members/' . $current_user->user_login . '/messages/'; ?>"><span class="dashicons dashicons-admin-comments"></span><span class="commentcount"><?php if (bp_get_total_unread_messages_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) > 0 ) { ?> <?php bp_total_unread_messages_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ?><?php } ?></span></a> </li>Since I did not want too much in my nav I only used these buddypress features, more would clog up my website too much.
But where it comes down to is with a child-theme you can make it exactly as you like.
Good luck
