[Plugin: The Events Calendar] Working with BuddyPress Child theme

I made a change to the main plugin php file (the-events-calendar.php) to solve my problem. In the templateChooser function I added an additional conditional for each template type so that it looks like this.

public function templateChooser() {
			$this->constructDaysOfWeek();
			if( !is_feed() ) {
				// list view
				if ( $this->in_event_category() && ( events_displaying_upcoming() || events_displaying_past() ) ) {
					if (file_exists(STYLESHEETPATH.'/events/list.php') ) {
						include (STYLESHEETPATH.'/events/list.php');
					}
					elseif (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH.'/events/list.php') ) {
						include (TEMPLATEPATH.'/events/list.php');
					}
					else {
						include dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/views/list.php';
					}
					exit;
				}

				// grid view
				if ( $this->in_event_category() ) {
					if (file_exists(STYLESHEETPATH.'/events/gridview.php') ) {
						include (STYLESHEETPATH.'/events/gridview.php');
					}
					elseif (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH.'/events/gridview.php') ) {
						include (TEMPLATEPATH.'/events/gridview.php');
					}
					else {
						include dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/views/gridview.php';
					}
					exit;
				}

				// single event
				if (is_single() && in_category( $this->eventCategory() ) ) {
					if (file_exists(STYLESHEETPATH.'/events/single.php') ) {
						include (STYLESHEETPATH.'/events/single.php');
					}
					elseif (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH.'/events/single.php') ) {
						include (TEMPLATEPATH.'/events/single.php');
					}
					else {
						include trailingslashit( WP_PLUGIN_DIR ) . trailingslashit( plugin_basename( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) ) . 'views/single.php';
					}
					exit;
				}
			} // if is_feed()
		}

This will take ChildThemes into account as far as I can tell. There may be more that needs to be done but that is the first step. I hope this change can be reflected in the next update.

@lyricalbiz – Yes I am using the BuddyPress plugin. And yes one of my issues with the Events Calendar plugin is things not fitting in the space I have. I commented on this in a follow-up thread. (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/400120) I am hopeful that the developer will add logic to the plugin to allow me to apply my own CSS to all the plugin elements.
