Hello,
I really needed this feature so I dug into the code and came up with a solution that doesn’t modify core files. The solution hooks the query pre_get_posts and uses the buddypress ‘plugins’ template file to catch and display the group sub forums.
This probably isn’t the most efficient solution but it seems to work in my environment. I’ll post back if I notice any issues as more subforums are created.
Here are the functions – place in your theme’s functions.php. I also included my plugins.php file also.
// functions.php
//Filters bbpress forum permalink if on a group forum page. Keeps users from being redirected to sitewide forums

global $wpdb, $bp;

$forums = explode("/",$forum);
$args=array(
'post_type' => 'forum',
'name' => $forums[0],
);
$root_forum = get_posts( $args );
$group_id = $wpdb->get_var(
" SELECT group_id
FROM wp_bp_groups_groupmeta
WHERE meta_key = 'forum_id' AND meta_value = '". serialize(array($root_forum[0]->ID)) ."'"
);
if (isset($group_id)){
$group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $group_id ) );
unset($forums[0]);
$forums = implode("/",$forums);
$permalink = bp_get_group_forum_permalink($group)."/".$forums;
