We're going to look into that. I definitely appreciate you coming back and posting about the problem you encountered - this will help us make 2.1 as solid as possible when it is released publicly :)

After backing up the bbpress folder, I basically left the existing bbpress plugin running and activated, and just copied the 2.1 plugin contents into the existing plugin folders.

One bug i caught is that there is no beginning slash for the "EDIT" Link in topics for the admin, so I went in the code and added that.
This change was made in bbp-topic-template.php at line 2199
if ( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ) {
$url = $topic_link . $bbp->edit_id;
$url = trailingslashit( $url );

i changed it to
if ( $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ) {
$url = $topic_link . '/'. $bbp->edit_id;
$url = trailingslashit( $url );

The reason it's not holding back Vanilla is because while Vanilla doesn't have a good wysiwyg editor by default, it has good, working ones
which are easily installed through plugins.

BBpress 2.0 currently does not. It doesn't even support bbcode natively.

Anyways, I do appreciate your suggestion -- this functionality is very important so im willing to experiment with a pre release version of bbpress.

I've downloaded the bbpress plugin you pointed to and backed up my existing bbpress plugin folder.

Now, how do i install this bbpress 2.1 without breaking my existing bbpress 2.0 forums?

It was only a matter of time until it made it into bbP core though.

But, on paper it's *supposed* to be better than 2.0. :)

You can download 2.1 by clicking Zip Archive on this page: http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/plugin

I've tried the Post toolbar -- that is WAY too technical for my users since it straight up inserts HTML Markup.

I've tried CLEditor, which works out of the box -- but generates really crappy HTML that doesn't handle whitespace correctly.

I want to integrate TinyMCE, CKEditor, or PunyMCE, but it's just harder than you would think because I dont quite understand the plugin structure and template structure bbpress 2.0 uses.

Any help in regards to hardcoding these editors into a theme, hacking an existing plugin, or even creating a plugin to do this highly appreciated.

Best,
Danger

but still any help on why the [ ] tags aren't working

my plugin uses html tags and not BBCode.

I'm putting together a forum over at http://forum.photoguides.net
It's yet to be launched and I've been having some trouble with plugins.

The plugins Allow Images, BBcode Lite, BB WYSIWYG Editor don't seem to be working.

Take a look at http://forum.photoguides.net/topic/test-thread where I've tried some tags. When logged in and with the reply form visible there is no editing panel for the wisywyg plugin.

These three plugins all seem to be correctly installed in the my-plugins folder and are active. I'm assuming that because all three aren't working, there's some fault with the setup of the site.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks,
Ash Davies

What am I doing wrong?

PS: Core files are files that are not Themes nor plugins, such as files under; bb-includes and bb-admin,

I guess my intention is really to have a bbPress forum, supported with a WYSIWYG editor similar to that of WordPress'.

At the moment however, installing bbPress doesn't provide that function and I'd like to find out if there's any way to do it.

I'd like to let users post up references e.g. images/videos that are useful to a thread they started, like how most forums allow it, and be able to let others rate the posts.

This way the home page can feature the posts which carry weight. For example, which posts have the highest views for the day, which posts are highly rated, and so on.

I'm inexperienced with programming, kindly forgive me if I use the terms wrongly.

Thanks for viewing this topic.

So... where do I start.

I have recently installed BuddyPress with WordPress.

The idea is to create a website that is a cross between news sites like NYTimes and Facebook.

To have users become both the journalists and the viewers.

However, at the moment I’m facing a lot, a lot of inconsistencies.

For example: Should I allow users to even get into the WordPress posting dashboard?

I’d like to make it so users can post on the forums with a good WYSIWYG editor – that they can add images, videos etc. like a normal forum. Then, other users can rate the posts up or down – so that the home page can show which posts have the most views, which posts are highest rated, and so on. However, this has been difficult to do…

So I’d like to ask whether there are plugins… or perhaps any assistance on how one can accomplish that?

I would greatly appreciate any help given here.

Thanks.

Thanks,
Joe

The one last thing that would really make this editor the cat's ass would be opening links in a new window. Is there a PHP version of "Target=_blank" we can slip into the code?

Joe

I copied the code to a PHP file and it activated from the bbPress 'Plugins' panel, but I can't figure out how to make it work in the editor. I tried both angled brackets and backticks. Thoughts?

And the next big challenge would be to have it open links in a new window. Is that possible?

Thanks,
Joe

And, for that matter, why isn't this site using it?

bbpress.org and bbPress in general uses the backtick notation. It's hard to remove it. I have answered to a topic some times ago showing a little hack to erase it.

So, is there a way to turn it on?
