Hey Community,

I am trying to link to an image in the “my-templates” directory for my bbpress template. When editing templates in WordPress I used:

<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>

Is there something similar that I can use for bbPress?

I tried:

<?php bb_stylesheet_uri(); ?>

& it didn’t work.

Anyhow, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Orion

<?php bb_stylesheet_uri(); ?> does work for me!?

Anyways, you can also do something like following I did in bbpress-mobile plugin:

<?php $stylesheet = (bb_get_option('uri') . 'my-templates/mobile.css'); ?>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $stylesheet; ?>" type="text/css" />

Hey Trent,

Thanks for the reply…

I checked out the source of the resulting page and found this…

/my-templates/style.cssimages/victorylogo.gif

So I noticed that it is posting “style.css” in the path, which is throwing me off.

Essentially, I am trying to get into my “my-templates” directory. I will look into your other solution. If you have any other ideas, I am open ears.

Thanks,

Orion

If you are trying to get victorylogo.gif, I would use:

<?php $victorylogo = (bb_get_option('uri') . 'my-templates/images/victorylogo.gif'); ?>

<?php echo $stylesheet; ?>

There might be an easier way, but I am a ‘may not be pretty, but works’ type of guy….

lol…

yeah, any solution is good to start for me. The above produced:

front-pageimages/victorylogo.gif

I am editing the front-page.php, so I am not sure if it pulled that file name or I have a setting a bit off somewhere.

Hmmm…. there has to be a way. I am getting the images to load through CSS, but for this particular image I would like to have it in the HTML content.

So any more ideas or suggestions are welcome.

actually, I forgot to load the file, the result above was from playing with

‘<?php bb_location(); ?>’ and “image”.

After trying your code Trent, I received no results for the designated area:

src=""

YES! I got it… I used this to get the correct path:

<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>my-templates/images/victorylogo.gif

Ahhhh, and sigh. Trent, thanks for helping with getting my gears going. Now if anyone else runs into a similar issue, they will have a solution.

All the Best,

Orion

Looking back at the code I put, I must have been tired! Great to hear you got it going Orion!

Thanks Trent, I am still pushing along… I understand, those late nights get to me too.

All the Best,
