Linking external post and blogs to BP

Hi,

I have a couple of questions regarding Buddypress:

1. Is there an exixting plugin or method that will allow members of a BP site to include their own existing domain in their profile?

2. If a member already has an existing blog, can they rss feed their blog posts from their own existing blogs (outside BP) into a BP site without having to create another blog in BP? If possible, how can it be done?

Thanks for reading and the help.

@boonebgorges and his work may help with both

1. Under BuddyPress, Profile Field Setup, you can add a new field or field group, including text box type fields. As stated on that admin page, “Any fields in the first group will appear on the signup page.” An URL entered will be picked up as a link in the profile’s public view.

While setting up profile fields, have a look at Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/ with which, among other features “Administrators can specify certain profile fields that link to social networking profiles.”

2. See BuddyPress External Group Blogs https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/external-group-blogs/ with which individual users might include RSS in group and site activity streams even without blogs being enabled. See BP External Activity https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-external-activity/ for more admin options, or even FeedWordPress https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedwordpress/ for user blogs.

This may not still be the case, but I was under the impression that external-group-blogs was not compatible with the latest version of BP. That may have changed although I haven’t seen an update to the plugin since it started glitching under 1.2.3. I believe @apeatling received a bit of fraternal ribbing from @modemlooper among others, so he may have fixed the problem.
