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:

1. Upload the plugin folder to the wp-content/plugins directory & activate it.
2. Go to Appearance -> Themes & activate the bbPress TwentyTen theme.
3. If you’re using permalinks, go to Settings -> Permalinks and click the save button.
4. 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.
5. Go to Appearance -> Menu if you want to add those pages to the menu for easy navigation.
6. Go to Forums -> Add new & write a forum title, description and press publish.
7. Now go to your blog’s home page or that forum you created or directly here – http://www.example.com/bbtest/forums
8. If you go to that /forums url, hopefully you’d see the forum listed which you just created and the new topic form.
9. 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?

[Willabee]

@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.

[alanchrishughes]

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?

[John James Jacoby]

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.

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 )

[citizenkeith]

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

[citizenkeith]

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.

@Willabee

As I said earlier, “And we’re also done with these or I’ve patches ready for these“. I’m still doing testing etc. & I’ll post the patches once I’m finished.

@alanchrishughes

If you are talking about one reply per page style threads like creativecow.com please do not, that is the most annoying forum to follow in the world.

Nothing like that. Moreover, replies per page would be an option given to the user.

Someone also mentioned the forums/forum/thread problem and I agree, I would like if possible the option to just go http://www.sitename.com/forum/threadname. Not every market or group needs that much organization. And being able to rename “forum” to something else would be nice also, I don’t know if that is already possible or not, I’ve been trying to be patient and just wait until it is done.

Yup, there would be options to edit any slug.

Are you still required to use the Twenty Ten theme? Or was that just something during the development process?

The development process is still going on, though you can port your themes very easily, you just need to add a few files.

Is this the version that is suppose to be compatible with Buddypress?

Nop, we’re focussing on the basic forum features right now. No BuddyPress integration yet (I don’t know if jjj’s working on that, but I don’t think so).

[Gautam Gupta]

@intimez

Regarding forums/forum, that’s gonna be an option. You could remove the root slug (i.e. forums) from all the slugs, once we just add it.

And regarding [edit, sticky, move], I said “And we’re also done with these or I’ve patches ready for these“. If you want to test these, just register up on my demo forums, I’ve set the default role as Forum Moderator, so you’d see those links.
