An observation:
It turns out that I can add content to the predefined “forum” tab just by leaving it as-is and adding a new tab with the same “forum” slug and including the shortcode within its subnav content field.

The result is that BuddyBoss seems to still populate its discussion topics, and the search form is appended to the bottom of the view. I’m not sure if that is how it is meant to work, but it is how it has turned out.

The only remaining problem is that I would like to PREpend to the top of the view it rather than APpend it to the bottom. Is there a way to do this?

What might help is that I have created my own shortcode for doing this, as it allows me to pass various parameters to the built-in search form shortcode (from the Relevanssi plugin). Here is what that shortcode looks like.

function display_group_forum(){
    echo do_shortcode("[searchform post_types='topic']");
    //$page_slug = bbp_get_group_forum_ids();
    //echo do_shortcode("[bbp-single-forum id='$page_slug[0]']");	
}
add_shortcode('groupforum', 'display_group_forum');

This code shows it how I want – with search form above the discussion topics, but it is only useful in its own tab as as BuddyBoss simply duplicates the forum at the top of the view.

Perhaps there is something other than echo, or another action or hook that would allow for prepending the contents of the [groupforum] shortcode within the group tab? I can

Still, something more formal – like the two suggestions from the original post – would be wonderful additions to this fantastic plugin!

Ok, thanks for the confirmation. I’ll have to figure something out with custom code then.
