I have a shortcode to put in a post or a page in wordpress, I’d like to use it in a forum topic in buddypress as I can let it work?

I use wordpress(not µ) 2.9.2 and buddypress 1.2.2.1 and i use the bbpress included in buddypress.

thanx in advance.

you can download the group forum extras – but you don’t have a need for all of that. this code snippet will enable wp shortcodes on post content

add_filter( 'bp_get_the_topic_post_content', 'do_shortcode' );

Where exactly do I need to put this code snippet, please?

Thanks for the tip. I just used it to add PollDaddy polls in the forums area.

@hiaz You can add it to the functions.php file in your theme.

Is it possible to add a filter to allow shortcodes in group descriptions? I would like to use the plugin “donation can” but I can’t get the shortcode the plugin generates to work properly. Ideas?

@jstebbing better late than never
`add_filter( ‘bp_get_group_description’, ‘do_shortcode’ );`

How can I make wordpress shortcodes work anywhere in buddypress?
