 **Problem:**
 can not move the /buddypress/ directory into any other folders within the
 theme.

 **Proposed/requested solution:**
 Please define a constant that can be used to define the buddypress
 template file locations to allow moving the buddypress template files into
 more convenient locations
 {{{#!php
 //this might be added to functions.php
 define( 'BUDDYPRESS_THEME_ROOT_DIR', 'integrations/buddypress');
 //beautiful...
 define( 'BUDDYPRESS_THEME_ROOT_DIR', 'any/folder/name'); // conveniant
 define( 'BUDDYPRESS_THEME_ROOT_DIR', 'multisite/buddypress/custom');
 //dynamic
 define( 'BUDDYPRESS_THEME_ROOT_DIR', 'multisite/buddypress/green_theme');
 //elegant
 define( 'BUDDYPRESS_THEME_ROOT_DIR', 'multisite/buddypress/blue_theme');
 //effective
 }}}

 This would open up a wide verity of functionality and make for a more
 elegant folder structure when a theme developer wants to place all
 integrations into 1 folder.


 **To elaborate - please consider the following-**
 Folder Structure:
 wp-content/themes/my-theme/buddypress/members/single/activity
 {{{#!php
 bp_get_template_part( 'members/single/activity' ); // Works as expected,
 of course
 }}}

 **However, this does not work**
 Folder Structure:
 wp-content/themes/my-theme/integrations/buddypress/members/single/activity
 {{{#!php
 bp_get_template_part( 'integrations/buddypress/members/single/activity' );
 // does not work
 // it looks of course for 'buddypress/integrations/buddypress/'
 }}}


 Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
