Does anyone have an idea on how to integrate bb-attachments such that it is functional from within the forums in buddypress groups?

Right now, I have buddypress integrated with bbforums and it works perfectly fine. I’ve also installed and activated the bb-attachments plugin and can upload files if I go directly to the forum page.

However, I do not see the upload option when I try to do the same from within the buddypress group forum.

Any suggestions?

I would contact _ck_, the author of that plugin and ask if BuddyPress support will be added. You can post a suggest here.

I’ve talked to _ck_ and s/he was not interested in developing for Buddypress. Not even with payment for it.

Bad news.

Maybe if your avatar had a smiley friendly face like Jeff, he would have

Just kidding, it is a shame, since _ck_ has many plugins.

I suppose once a plugin has successfully been converted to buddypress by someone, we could track the changes necessary to make compatible bp-forum plugins? I have no idea how hard it would be to make them compatible…not looked at it myself.

@ Mariusooms: Hahaha… I sent it as an email but perhaps he looked me up!

I’m not sure if an open source movement wants to add money into the mix. But I’d pay $100 for a working version of bb-attachments for 1.1. And it would of course be released to the public after that (as long as the one doing it accepts it)

(if inapropriate or only good over at job board group, tell me)

I really need bbattachments for my BP community, and I’ve already started work on porting it over to BuddyPress. There are a few hurdles to overcome, but I don’t think it will take too much longer. I’ll post more when I’ve got something for others to test.

Tore, you can feel free to send me that $100 anytime
