The BuddyBoss theme for BuddyPress adds a Facebook-style “Wall” to user profiles. Users can post status updates, reply on each other’s walls, and even embed videos to their Wall.
BuddyPress can be confusing out of the box. The whole “@mentions” system is unfamiliar and requires a learning curve. Your users are already comfortable with Facebook and they intuitively understand how it works. Why should BuddyPress make them relearn everything? With BuddyBoss, they don’t have to. We are proud to introduce the first theme to ever include a fully functional Facebook Wall.
The “Wall” converts @mentions into Wall posts. The implications of this are that most Activity-related plugins should still work, and that if you turn the Wall off (which you can do at any time) everything will revert to the default @mentions setup.
Any chance you release a plugin about this great functionnality ?
Not any time soon. I suggest buying the theme if you want it 🙂
Was this theme inspired by SocialEngine by any change?
That was one of the things that influenced it.
