Is there an ability to add Photos into BBPress forums

[coffeecuplj]

My site is using BBPress forums to complement the posts/articles that are being written in native WordPress.

I was wondering if there was anything available to enable users to insert photos that they’ve loaded into their Albums into a Forum Topic or Reply ?

Cheers,

The regular way to insert a wppa photo in a bogpost is adding in the content one of the following shortcodes:
[wppa type="photo" photo="1234"][/wppa] for a plain photo,
[wppa type="mphoto" photo="1234"][/wppa] for a photo with caption
[wppa type="xphoto" photo="1234"][/wppa] for a photo with extended caption
where 1234 is the id of the photo.

To find the id of the photo, you can add the keyword w#id in the (standard) description of the photo like:
This is photo number w#id

If this is not usable for you, pls explain me why and what yo have in mind.

Hi Jacob,

When I put the shortcode into any WordPress Page or Post it works fine, and a Photo is shown properly.

When I add it to a BBPres Topic or Reply it simply shows up up as the shortcode code of [wppa type=”photo” photo=”44″][/wppa]

Thanks

This means that shortcodes are not processed there. Pls see if bbpress had an option to do so, else i will go into it to see if i can add an action hook for this.

Hi Jacob,

Thanks for looking at this problem.

I tried two plugins separately, enabling and deactivation each in turn and they both enabled other shortcodes to work within a bbPress Topic or Reply, where they didn’t before. This included a bespoke shortcode that i’ve added to my site was able to work in a bbPress Topic but it didn’t without the Plugin.

bbPress Do Shortcodes

bbPress2 BBCode

However, unfortunately, neither of the two above Plugins parsed your shortcode to enable a photo to be added ??

One thing you can still try – having the do-shortcode plugin activated – that is ticking Table IV-A8: Render shortcode always
Please also tell me if you get something else than the original shortcode displayed!!!

Thank you for your patience Jacob, that setting along with one of the plugins has enabled the wppa shortcode to work in a BBPress Topic and Reply. It is great to use a plugin like yours that is so configurable ??

I have some other questions, but will open another ticket as you’ve resolved this issue for me.

Thanks.
