bbPress.org

I am using the following code in my graphic-display-ranks plugin running bbPress 0.8:

$path_to_subdirectory = bb_get_option('uri') . "my-plugins/ranks/";

later on in the plugin I call that path using:

$display_text = $path_to_subdirectory . $image_for_special_rank_1 . "" alt="#Posts:" . $rank_count . "" title="#Posts: " . $rank_count . """;

$display_text is inserted into an image tag for display. Everything works, but when I look at the source code of the page I see:

<img src="my-plugins/ranks/metalic_modo.png" alt="#Posts: 1" title="#Posts: 1" />

It’s as if it’s not pulling in the base part of the uri at all. Am I missing something here?
