I guess this is two questions:

1. can buddy press forums posts allow file attachements such as images or pdf files?

2. is there a separate file upload function for groups separate from forum posts?

thanks,

Deryk

to answer my own question, i found this plugin here:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/forum-attachments-for-buddypress/ and their homepage here: http://teleogistic.net/2009/10/help-me-alpha-test-buddypress-forum-attachments/

I’ve just tried Boone’s plugin that Dwenaus linked above, and after editing the template files as noted in the readme (more or less — the line numbers have changed, of course), it seems to work.

So far I can’t get inlining to work with uploaded image attachments, though, which was what I was aiming for. Bummer.

It may be an artifact of dev on a local xammp install maybe, because I’ve got URLs for the attachment icons like “http://localhost.localdomain/devsiteD:/xampp/htdocs/devsite/wp-content/plugins/forum-attachments-for-buddypress/icons/img.gif”, I’m not sure. Link for the ‘uploaded’ image is fine, just no inline….

Will investigate, in my semi- but mostly incompetent way.

stwc – I spent some time when I first ported that plugin to make inline images work, but I couldn’t manage to do it in the same way that the original bbPress plugin does. I kept coming up against problems with the way headers are sent to the browser, which is, to put it mildly, not my area of expertise

I have literally not even glanced at the plugin on BP 1.2+. I’ll have to do so soon, though, as not having forum attachments will be a stumbling block for me to upgrade my production site from BP 1.1.3.

As always, I’ll keep everyone updated via these forums and http://teleogistic.net.

Thanks, Boone! You’re saving my life these days!
