Sorry to bump this. If anyone could just give me a lead, I would appreciate it!
You need to look at the BP templates that have sections that you want to duplicate.
The templates are here: buddypress\bp-templates\
Unless you have good skills as a developer, it will be difficult to get your custom pages working properly.
I am a developer. I’m able to copy and edit templates no problem.
However, this doesn’t help as far as embedding and submitting the form components from an area outside BuddyPress.
Perhaps it isn’t possible?
