Using BuddyPress plugins How To Forum Attach?

A few people have asked recently for a list of the plugins installed on the CUNY Academic Commons. In the spirit of Joe’s post, here I thought I’d make it public. I’m going to limit myself to the BuddyPress plugins here, for the sake of simplicity. (I’d like to write a series of posts on the anatomy of the CUNY Academic Commons; maybe this will be the first in that series.) Here they are, in no particular order other than the order in which they appear on my plugin list.

• BP TinyMCE. This plugin is messed up, and I have part of it switched off, but I still use the filters that allow additional tags through, in case people want to write some raw HTML in their forum posts, etc.
• BP Groupblog. Allows blogs to be associated with groups, displaying posts on that group’s activity feed and automatically credentialing group members on the blog. I did some custom modifications to the way the plugin works so that clicking on the Blog tab in a group leads you to subdomain address rather than the Groupblog custom address (thereby also ensuring that visitors see the intended blog theme rather than the BP-ish theme).
• BP MPO Activity Filter. This plugin works along with More Privacy Options to ensure that the new privacy settings are understood by Buddypress and that blog-related activity items are displayed to the appropriate people.
• BuddyPress Group Documents. This one is crucial to our members, who often use the plugin to share collaborative docs.
• BP Include Non-Member Comments makes sure that blog comments from non-members are included on the sitewide activity feed.
  
  
• BP External Activity – an as-yet unreleased plugin I wrote that brings in items from an external RSS feed and adds them to the sitewide activity feed. We’re using it for MediaWiki edits.
• BP Group Management lets admins add people to groups. Very handy for putting together a group quickly, without having to wait for invites.
• BP System Report. We’re using this one to keep track of some data in our system and report it back to members and administrators.
• BuddyPress Group Email Subscription allows users to subscribe to immediate or digest email notification of group activity. Right now we’re running it on a trial basis with a handful of members, in order to test it. (Here’s how to run it with a whitelist of users, if you want)
• BuddyPress Terms of Service Agreement, another as-yet-unreleased plugin (this one by CAC Dev Team member Chris Stein) that requires new members to check TOS acceptance box before being allowed to register.
• Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress allows users to customize the way that their profile interests become links
• Enhanced BuddyPress Widgets. Lets the admin decide the default state of BP widgets on the front page.
• Forum Attachments for BuddyPress. Another of our most important BP plugins, this one allows users to share files via the group forums.
• Group Forum Subscription for BuddyPress. This is our legacy email notification system, which is going to be in place until I get back from my honeymoon and can replace it 
• Invite Anyone lets our users invite new members to the community and makes it easier to populate groups.
