Re: bb Attachments plugin fixed to be compatible with bbPress 1.0+
The directory is above site root by default but you can put it anywhere if you don’t care about security. The way WP does it is completely insecure on shared servers. Any chmod 777 folder under the webroot is a beautiful target for evil hackers.
A small percentage of people still seem to have problems with the install routine that is supposed to run upon activation and create the table. I had to use a workaround because of a bug with 0.8 and IIs users but that may break it for other people, especially with 1.0
you can try replacing the bb_register_activation_hook line with the conventional line that might finally be working correctly under 1.x
bb_register_plugin_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'bb_attachments_install');
Keep in mind I have not updated bb-attachment in over a year due to a lack of donations, so feel free to write your own. Keep in mind whatever you write will not be compatible/necessary with the eventual version of bbpress that runs as a WP plugin.
