It seems I can't upload (or at least I don't get the upload sub-screen part) files in an existing post/topic when I edit it.
Is there any quick fix for that ?
I am connected as admin and there is normally no time out for edition.

Hi _ck_ - Thought I'd let you know that I pieced together a mostly functional version of your plugin for the new version of BuddyPress, which as you probably know integrates bbPress in a much more robust way than it used to. Still a work in progress. http://teleogistic.net/2009/10/help-me-alpha-test-buddypress-forum-attachments/

I figured out part of my issue, adding 'application/vnd.ms-excel' to my mime types now allows Excel xls files. However, I still can't attach Word doc files, only docx files. I've tried every mime type possibility that I could find for doc files, including what it should be which is 'application/msword'. Any thoughts?

Shane,
Try dumping $_FILES and you will see the Content-Type.
Alternatively, if you use FireFox, you can install the Tamper Data extension to see all headers (including Content-Type) sent/received.

Thanks. I loaded Tamper Data and it reports the mime type as application/msword which I have in the list. I have no idea what it could be other than a serve side issue.

I am struggling to make this plugin working but no success so far:
- Using a local test installation of bbpress 1.0.2 in MAMP on Mac OS X
- The plugin successfully created the bb-attachments directory above the htdocs
- The plugin successfully created the bb-attachments table in the database
- I am able to upload files when creating a new message, there are no errors during the process. The files are visible in the bb-attachments directory.
- When I view the message I get the dreaded red X icon instead of the file icon; clicking on the X sends me to a blank page
- There is no information written in the bb-attachments table. This is the problem - is there a fix?Thanks.

Great plug-in CK. Just got it installed and working on my forum. I had a fatal error problem when trying to activate it, but it was just related to my bb-attachments path setting. I just hardcoded that to be the absolute path (ie - /var/www/html...) to my bb-attachments folder and it worked.
I still get the fatal error on activation (oddly), but everything works fine!
I then went through and hacked it apart to only allow in-line images and to remove the list of attachments after the post.
Again, thanks!

I am having the same issue as Beavix, with same local test installation.

Please, note that this plugin was silently updated again on 2009-4-22. I was trying to debug 2009-4-9 version and then noticed it was different from the version I downloaded today.
Someone please update the version number to 0.2.8 last updated 2009-4-22
Thanks

I have a small community of musicians who are collaborating on music. We decided to start using bbPress Attachments to share Torrent files. This way, we can use Bit Torrent to share large WAV files (40-100MB each).
I would love to be able to extend this plugin to display the contents of the torrent file. As it is, one person might share multiple files in one upload and we need a way to navigate the torrents. Since there are ten of us sharing files, you can imagine that it is getting confusing. You have to download every torrent just to find one file.
I realize _ck_ isn't working on this anymore, but am hoping somebody in the community has the ability to add this functionality. I suppose one could even re-use code from bbPress Attachments to write "bbPress Torrent" or something...

@Shane Pitman:
To find out the mime-type for your Word document, go into the database and look under the "bb-attachments" table.
There should be a column called "mime" where you can find the mime type of the uploaded document.
