   Hey Community,

   I am trying to link to an image in the "my-templates" directory for my bbpress template. When editing templates in WordPress I used:
   <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>

   Is there something similar that I can use for bbPress?
   I tried:
   <?php bb_stylesheet_uri(); ?>
   & it didn't work.

   Anyhow, any help would be greatly appreciated.

   Thanks,
   Orion

   <?php bb_stylesheet_uri(); ?> does work for me!?

   Anyways, you can also do something like following I did in bbpress-mobile plugin:

   <?php $stylesheet = (bb_get_option('uri') . 'my-templates/mobile.css'); ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $stylesheet; ?>" type="text/css" />

   Hey Trent,

   Thanks for the reply...
   I checked out the source of the resulting page and found this...
   /my-templates/style.cssimages/victorylogo.gif
   So I noticed that it is posting "style.css" in the path, which is throwing me off.

   Essentially, I am trying to get into my "my-templates" directory. I will look into your other solution. If you have any other ideas, I am open ears.

   Thanks,
   Orion

   If you are trying to get victorylogo.gif, I would use:

   <?php $victorylogo = (bb_get_option('uri') . 'my-templates/images/victorylogo.gif'); ?>
<?php echo $stylesheet; ?>

   There might be an easier way, but I am a 'may not be pretty, but works' type of guy....

   lol...
   yeah, any solution is good to start for me. The above produced:
   front-pageimages/victorylogo.gif

   I am editing the front-page.php, so I am not sure if it pulled that file name or I have a setting a bit off somewhere.

   Hmmm.... there has to be a way. I am getting the images to load through CSS, but for this particular image I would like to have it in the HTML content.

   So any more ideas or suggestions are welcome.

   actually, I forgot to load the file, the result above was from playing with
   '<?php bb_location(); ?>' and "image".

   After trying your code Trent, I received no results for the designated area:
   src=""

   YES! I got it... I used this to get the correct path:
   <?php bb_option('uri'); ?>my-templates/images/victorylogo.gif

   Ahhhh, and sigh. Trent, thanks for helping with getting my gears going. Now if anyone else runs into a similar issue, they will have a solution.

   All the Best,
   Orion
