I think your idea of forum software is different from the creators ideas for bbPress. I don't think all the functionality you are missing in bbPress is ever going to be in the bbPress core. I have no official word on the subject, but from watching the replies over the past two years regarding topic like this, I don't think these things will ever be part of the core, but will be available as plugins.</p> <p>Also, bbPress is alpha or beta software, depending on the version you installed, around two years old, where phpBB is something like eight years old.</p> <p>bbPress isn't for everyone. That's why there are lots of forum packages out there. Something for everyone. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/images-a-pain-in-my-side#post-19989 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 12:12:29 +0000 eclipsenow 19989@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Why on earth is there an image plug in?

If you edit an existing post and upload a new image while ALSO changing the post text, it cannot save the post text AND upload the image (it will only upload the new image). This situation should be the least likely, though it could happen and I will have to deal with when I have more time.</p> <p>All other auto-inserts should work correctly however, new posts and adding more images to a post. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/auto-insert-image-inline-images#post-18912 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 05:18:10 +0000 _ck_ 18912@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I guess I can add that feature as an option. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/auto-insert-image-inline-images#post-18911 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 03:07:55 +0000 brad_langdon 18911@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I have heard a lot of people asking for the same thing, surely there is enough demand to have the plugin modified? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/auto-insert-image-inline-images#post-18910 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 02:38:38 +0000 brad_langdon 18910@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I think for the target audience I have that is not ideal.<br /> It's for a jet boating forum so the majority of my users are very outdoorsy and not that computer savvy.</p> <p>They are used to uploading pics on other forums and having them show up straight away. It makes sense. Why would you go to all of that trouble when other forums do it for you automatically.</p> <p>Is there a way to modify the plugin code?<br /> When you click insert it must do something so cant we just take that code and put it in the appropriate place ao that it does it straight after uploading?</p> <p>Sorry if that is a stupid question, I am far from an expert. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/auto-insert-image-inline-images#post-18908 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 02:14:06 +0000 chrishajer 18908@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I don't believe that exists yet. The attachment plugin was modified to allow you to insert the image after uploading it, but it's a two step process and clunky (IMO.)</p> <p>I think the easiest thing is to just have the users use something like ImageShack or PhotoBucket and then use the allow images plugin. They upload the image to hosting, then insert the image. Problem solved.</p> <p>The images are not stored on your server, but my users had no trouble with that process (find hosting, then upload the image.) They can also hot link to other images on the net without having to upload it anywhere. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/auto-insert-image-inline-images#post-18907 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 01:33:07 +0000 brad_langdon 18907@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Does anyone know a way to have images show up in a post automatically once someone has uploaded them rather than having to edit the post after and clicking insert for each image?</p> <p>I cant be the only person who has confused forum users out there. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/possible-way-to-upload-image-to-post#post-17968 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 08:37:33 +0000 _ck_ 17968@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>It may have been a one-time PHP internal error dealing with uploads - in the newest 0.1.9 rebuild I put in some more advanced PHP error reporting to list the eight possible errors reported by the OS. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/possible-way-to-upload-image-to-post#post-17967 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 08:03:56 +0000 chrishajer 17967@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Nothing strange in the filename, not even a space.

I might remove that.</p> <p>update: oh wait, BMP is only allowed for admin, no one else has that allowance - so it's not an issue, I forgot I did that. The reason you got "denied mime" is because it's a bug where I didn't add "image/bmp" to the allowed mime types for admin. I've reposted 0.1.9 with that fixed.</p> <p>But that's a strange error I need to explore on the png. Apparently "Error Occurred While Processing Request" is a mysql error?

Allow Images plugin. The member needs to link to an image available in the Internet somewhere. If that's not a problem, then that's the way to go. It allows members to insert images into their posts. Pretty easy.</p> <p>2. Attachments plugin. This you have working as attachments now, but you want the image inline, not attached. The newest version is supposed to do that, and I just read this on the plugin page:</p> <p><code>After uploading, an [INSERT] link will appear next to each attachment.</code></p> <p>So, the user needs to upload it first, then go back and edit their post, and click the [INSERT] link. I actually just noticed that: I have the link, but it doesn't work. It seems like a JavaScript error.</p> <pre><code>Error: myField is not defined Source File: <a href="http://www.example.com/bbpress/edit.php?id=2" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/bbpress/edit.php?id=2</a> Line: 76</code></pre> <p>&nbsp;<br /> If you cannot use the Allow Images plugin, instead of the Attachments plugin, then you might want to post your concerns on the plugin page, or wait for _ck_ to show up here. The plugin was released early because a lot of people were looking for the inline functionality, and I'm sure _ck_ will appreciate feedback from anyone using it. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/possible-way-to-upload-image-to-post#post-17733 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 03:43:06 +0000 brad_langdon 17733@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Um I don't know really.
