i’ve done this by adding a message box b/n the header and div content line in the home.php of the bp-default/members/single folder. i’ve hardcoded the message but you could probably pull in a specific wp page’s content.
would be good to have a plugin that would let you admin a message in case there’s news or updates to the message if you think its going to change that often. I don’t see a need for one since you could just change the content from the wp page you’re pulling the message from.

I believe that was the original intention for the site notices in BP:
hxxp://mydomain.com/members/admin/messages/notices/
You can re-position the notices display with the following template tag:
<?php
if ( function_exists( 'bp_message_get_notices' ) )
bp_message_get_notices();
?>
nahummadrid and r-a-y, thanks a lot guys, you are great. I like both ideas, and let me tell you the notices one blew my mind away. I really need to read more into this, I’m sure there’s more information in the documentation right? Thanks again guys.
@r-a-y i guess i mean more for a public message for non logged in. best example that I can think of is the logged out twitter or blipfm message box above profiles prompting new eyeballs to register.
never really knew about the notices feature. where does it currently display?
Yeap, the notices is not what I need, the problem with hard-coding the message is that both logged in user and non logged in users are going to see the message. Better than nothing but still not what I’m looking to do.
‘<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>
<?php locate_template( array(‘loggedinmessage.php’), true) ?>
<?php else:?>
<?php locate_template( array(‘forloggedoutmessage.php’), true) ?>
<?php endif;?>’
something like this. there’s probably a better way to do it but this works for me. in your message file edit it the way you want to manage your message. this is 2 messages, you can leave out the first one to show blank for logged in users
Testing this right now, thanks a lot nahummadrid.
Use the widget logic plugin to add a text widget to your members page via bp conditional tags.
