Default ‘Forums’ when opening new forum in Buddypress group

    Hi,

    I’m using Buddypress together with BBpress. I’ve an issue and I’m hoping someone can help me with it.

    When I (or someone else) create a new Buddypress-group on my website, I always choose to make a new group-forum. These forums have no ‘sub/child-forums’ by default. If you want there to be ‘sub/child-forums’ you should make them all by hand. I’ve around 60 groups (and counting), so you understand it’s a LOT of work if you want all the group-forums to have the same (same names, different private forums) sub-forums. Plus, I want my moderators to have the possibility to create groups (with a standard forum) and I can’t be there all the time to immidiatly make the sub-forums (including the right subtext and forum-image).

    So, is there an option to make some ‘default sub forums’ (with image and subtext) that ALWAYS automatically ‘ll be created when you make a new group with forum? So for example: the default forums are ‘pregnancy’, ‘birthdays’ and ‘animals’. I make a new group called ‘Group 1’ and I choose ‘Yes, I want to create a forum for this group’. Then I open the brand new group-forum, and hooray! It has 3 brandnew subforums: ‘pregnancy’, ‘birthdays’ and ‘animals’. Only viewable for the group-members.

    After that, I create a second group, called ‘Group 2’ and I choose ‘Yes, I want to create a forum for this group’. Then I open the brand new group-forum, and hooray again! It had 3 brandnew subforums (so, not the same forums you see in the group 1 forum), only viewable for group 2-members.

    Can someone help me with this? 🙂

    Oh, AND actually… I also want the automatical created ‘group-forum’ to be a category instead of a forum, so no one can post there anything. Only in the (hopefully automatic created) child-forums.

    BTW.. I can change the group-forums by hand to a category and place (by hand) child-forums underneath. Works great (and is a lot of work)… until I edit my group. Then the group is confused, because the group-forum changed to a category. It creates a new forum itself (so, now I’ve a forum and a category (with child forums) with the same name and only the new empty forum displays in the group.

    When I go to the group-settings again, I can’t change it back because then I can’t set a category as THE group forum. Sigh..
