Possible theme conflict

Hi stickFinger –

If you hide the flat groups list (which it looks like you’ve done), the plugin uses the templates/tree/index.php and templates/tree/tree-loop.php files to render the group tree.

If you choose to show the group tree but DO NOT hide the flat group list, the plugin will load just the tree-loop.php file into your theme’s normal page. Can you check whether the layout issue remains when you use those settings?

Unfortunately, those two files are modified copies of the ones from the bp-default theme, so they are only sure to look right with that theme. You may need to modify them to match your selected theme.

If you do need to modify them, you should copy the entire tree folder into your theme’s directory. This plugin will look for the template files there before using its own copies. If the layout looks fine when you have the flat group list enabled, you’ll be able to get away with just copying/editing the index.php file.

I know that was a lot of text. Please let me know if you have any questions about this!

Thanks a bunch for your update on this, David.

What i′ve done so far:

1. Moved the entire “tree” folder to frisco theme
No effect

2.Moved the entire “tree” folder to Frisco′s “group” folder
No effect

3.Moved the “tree” folder′s files to the directories above
No effect

4.Moved the “tree” folder to buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default
No effect

5.Moved the “tree” folder to buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/groups
No effect

I did 4 and 5 above thinking about that Frisco is a so called bp-default′s child theme.

It seems that bp-group-hierarchy overrides all

I′ll be back with some additional info ??

Thank you

I’ve had the same problem, with Frisco-for-buddypress and BP Group Hierarchy, but found that it could be fixed with only one adjusted file.

It is indeed correct that BP Group Hierarchy overrides the theme completely, as this is necessary to display the child-groups.

If you look for /wp-content/plugins/bp-group-hierarchy/templates/tree/index.php and replace the code with the one in this pastebin, it should be fixed completely.

It worked for me, feel free to give additional feedback!

Great news.

Thank you so much for this.
bp-group-hierarchy and frisco are perfect.

Now i′ll try the new index.php with some more themes.

Thank you so much for your code and time.

Not a problem!
Just remember to update this specific file should you install an update of BP Group Hierarchy, as this probably overwrites this file again.

Hi guys –

I just tested this and confirmed that you can load these template files from your theme’s directory. You had me worried! You should definitely apply these changes in the theme directory so you don’t have to keep overwriting the file after plugin updates.

In this case, the entire tree folder should be copied to the root of your theme’s directory. So the result would look like:

/wp-content/themes/frisco-for-buddypress/tree/index.php

I hadn’t even thought of this – thanks David!
