Hi,
This is a bbPress question, you need to ask on their forums.
I will, but I thought it was a BuddyPress question since I’m asking how to keep a component inside the Group template.
Good point, but I’d say you have more chance of an answer there.
I cross posted at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/sub-forums-inside-a-group/ since this is that area where they work with each other, but any guidance even on where to get started to develop this as an option or feature is certainly appreciated.
Thanks.
Actually, I believe this is in the correct space.
Currently, my understanding is in BuddyPress we are making an association between the forum that you add during the setup screen and then retrieving the topics of the associated forum.
Which means this is, in fact, a BuddyPress issue. However, I don’t know how much of an issue this is because while subforums are possible within bbPress, the implementation in BuddyPress has no way to add Subforums (or to even create a forum as a category for that matter). This simply means the use case would only be those who have an administrator level and can create those from the backend.
Im looking for the same feature.
@andrewteg, did you find a possible solution?
I never found a good solution for this. We ended up having 2 main types of groups that we wanted to differentiate between so we were hoping for two big groups with subforums, but just ended up making each its own group.
We added some metadata to each group (https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/how-to-edit-group-meta-tutorial/) and just used that on a custom template (https://webdevstudios.com/2015/06/02/creating-custom-templates-for-buddypress/) and showed things a little differently, but they are all just regular old BP groups in the end.
