    Hi,

    I saw that on this site groups had customized features. For exemple it not always the same group homepage. Sometime activty stream, sometime other.

    What I would like to do is to delet groups activity stream and to have the group’s forums instead in homepage.

    However, question 2, is it a good idea ? When I see the activity stream her I suspect that forum activity is not fully integrated in buddypress. I don’t see the “reply” button for example.

    Thanks for any informations about this topic !

    Try this link to change it to the forums instead of the activity: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/changing-group-tab-display-defaults#post-55449

    I think you can turn on or off the reply button for forums in the BP admin, but they aren’t completely integrated that way. A reply in the activity won’t appear in the forum. So, that’s why it’s disabled by default (I think).

    Option 2, let’s being creative…
    Modifying the way activity stream is displayed into groups so that it is displayed in a forum way.

    I mean :

    ***Original group’s activity stream display***

    Marc tells :
    “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.”
    Kevin, in reply to Marc :
    “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt.”
    Marie, in reply to Marc :
    “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt.”

    Celia tells :
    “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.”
    Kevin, in reply to Celia :
    “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt.”

    ***Forum style group’s activity stream display***

    Marc started a new discussion : “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing…” 2 replies – [view discussion]

    Celia started a new discussion : “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing…” 1 rely – [view discussion]

    Best with titles and such forum oriented features of cours yet this way of displaying content may be immediadly feasible ?

    Buddypress don’t need BBPress integration anymore… Lol.

    Well, i’m just dreaming up since It would takes weeks to make it with my programation skills yet maybe an idea to keep for further developments or skilled devs that have the same needs.

    Yeh, Thanks a lot, this is nice !

    I’m still wondering because of this problem of BBPress intgration and “reply” in activity stream. Makes it weak.

    you can disable activity stream commenting for forum topics/replies via buddypress wp-admin – activity stream just contains an excerpt of the topic post with permalinks back to the forum topic. (which activity stream has its own commenting system which leads to division of conversations)

    Thanks rich! @ etiviti,

    I understand the system well now.

    Well, considering all of this I will dfinitively keep Buddypress alone without BBPress to keep a single standard for clean further user experience developments.

    Thinking of what would idealisticly feet our needs, we imagined an ergonomy where evrything is interactive in the activty stream. It can be seen here : http://www.slideshare.net/thibautdeveraux/design-platform-v2-proposition-details going to “l’atelier” (in french). I think next move will be to find a way to collapse the looong messages with “view more” button. It’s quite the same idea as the facebook wall yet with articles and everything commentable in the activity stream.
