The BIG Buddypress conversion THREAD

Hello

I am trying to convert buddypress components (indexes.php) into my default theme layout, but its giving me a headache

I think i got a really weird template because div ids are methods

let me explain:

ineed for example replace my <div id= ‘content’> with a parameter in my original theme index file (also called content)

but i cant because my
original theme index.php is:

<div class="content"><?php the_content(); ?></div>

and my buddypress index.php file is

<div id="content">
<div class="padder">
''some content''
</div>
</div>

Does this make any sense? and how can i change it?
Iam assuming that icant call a class inside a class

other wise it would be

<div class="content">
		<div class="padder">
</div>
</div>

what probably wont work
iam following this guide
