@technosailor Thanks!

A try to "modernize" this code for the latest BuddyPress: https://gist.github.com/slaFFik/46ae6c250f6e4376c4b21cc0ef6b57ab

This is perfect, thanks, just what we need. How would we include or require this? Or is require_once enough? Thanks! I will use the "modernized" version above, just wanted to thank and acknowledge Aaron's work.
