Hey guys,
sorry is it is a stupid question, I’m new with bbPress…
I was wondering, is it possible to create a bbPress plugin besed on Rich Object code constructor ( Demo: http://xbb2.com ) , and if “yes” – shall it be on HTML or BBCode generation ?
Thanks

Hi Michael,
Looking at your website http://scopedin.com/bbpress/ it seems you managed to resolve all the issues above.
Can you post the codes you finally used?
I am having exactly the same issue.
Thanks
You can’t link to files on your computer. It’s always http. You’ll need to upload them to a service like Photobucket or your own web server before you can link to them.
Or, you can try ck’s bb-Attachments plugin: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/
Not that bb-Attachments may not work in 1.0.2, or you may need to read through the thread to find code changes that will make it work.

Maybe it’s not working for you because of the permalink structure you have. Try having it simply /%postname%/.
Still not a true WYSIWYG editor.
CKeditor and TinyMCE, you can copy image, links, words on any site and when pasting looks exactly the same. When you hit send on BBpress, you get a bunch of messed up code.

I’ve installed CKeditor and TinyMCE, tweaked and messed with the code for weeks. I then installed the same two editor to phpBB and Drupal and they both work fine but the forum format are ugly. It seems like BBpress cannot output rich text. I might be wrong, but there seems to be nothing right now. Just a heads up.
I’ve ported over the changes to KSES and clean_url into a branch in the BackPress repo ready for bbPress 1.0.x branch work.
If anyone has cycles to review and test would be great

I started from scratch and I’m trying to add it to the menu
Ok, here are the steps to test the plugin:
- Upload the plugin folder to the
wp-content/plugins directory & activate it.
- Go to
Appearance -> Themes & activate the bbPress TwentyTen theme.
- If you’re using permalinks, go to
Settings -> Permalinks and click the save button.
- Go to
Pages -> Add new & select bbPress - Forum index in the template selection in the right side, give the page title Forums or anything and press publish. You can repeat the step to add pages like add new topic, topic index page etc.
- Go to
Appearance -> Menu if you want to add those pages to the menu for easy navigation.
- Go to
Forums -> Add new & write a forum title, description and press publish.
- Now go to your blog’s home page or that forum you created or directly here – http://www.example.com/bbtest/forums
- If you go to that
/forums url, hopefully you’d see the forum listed which you just created and the new topic form.
- Browse, test & report bugs

Edit: BuddyPress also already has a built in forum.
That “built in forum” is bbPress-standalone only. BuddyPress already has the code to integrate bbPress-standalone into it, but as the bbPress-plugin is an entirely new start from scratch, that code would have to be changed if we want to itegrate bbPress-plugin into BuddyPress. That’s why I said “No BuddyPress integration yet (I don’t know if jjj’s working on that, but I don’t think so).”. jjj = John James Jacoby = lead developer of bbPress and BuddyPress.
Did it clear your confusions?
@alanchrishughes
BuddyPress and bbPress are two different projects, therefore its up too the user to find/make a solution for them to work together. The small changes he’s referring too is probably stuff like letting the user links go to the buddypress profile, etc..
@Gautam
One can always try.
Nice. Is there a codex type deal describing what those changes are? Or do you mean a few small built in changes that you all are working on?
The bbPress plugin will use the existing WordPress user account, with nothing extra needed.
BuddyPress integration will be extremely easy, although BuddyPress will need a few small changes to help it along.
Another novice user question
İf the user loads the image from his/her own disk, then the file specified as :
file:///c:/miscphotos/xyz.jpeg

Recently installed bbpress 1.0.2 and avatar upload 0.8.3
Followed the inst. instruction as follows :
5 Upload the files in the “additional-files” directory to the following locations.
avatars/ – directory to the location specified on the admin page, rename if neccesary
admim page: /avatars/ so I created avatars dir. on bbpress root,writable DONE
avatars/default.png – default avatar image into the directory created above.
DONE
avatar-upload.php – bbPress root directory.
MOVED bb-avatar-upload.php T ROOT DIRECTORY
my-templates/avatar.php – your my-templates/my-template-name/ (or bb-templates/kakumei/) directory.
MOVED TO bb-templates/kakumei/ DONE
Upload the plugin files.
bb-avatar-upload.php – your my-plugins/ directory (and activate it).
DONE
identicon.php – your my-plugins/ directory (it is automatically included).
EXISTS
unsharpmask.php – your my-plugins/ directory (it is automatically included).
EXISTS
I dont see the avatar load button on the profile.
I’m confused, is the filename bb-avatar-upload.php or avatar-upload.php ?
What am I doing wrong ? ( a novice admin )
Do you have bbCode Lite installed? That’s required.

Newly installed, bbpress (1.0) and bbcode buttons (0.0.9) plugin and I se the buttons in the reply box. When I press IMG I’m able to enter the image url.
When I press ‘send post’ then what I see is this :

Consequently no image displayed.
What is wrong ? Does it support bbpress 1.0.2
My replies keep getting marked as spam… I’ve tried to post links to the plugins, but Askimet keeps marking them as spam even though they are all links to this forum!
Anyway…
There are two video plugins that you can install… bbVideo works with 0.9 and Easy Video Embed works with 1.0. You’ll have to search for them yourself since I can’t post the links.
