Forum Attachments for BuddyPress

Gives members the ability to upload attachments on their forum posts in BuddyPress.

Upload to plugin directory and activate
Create a directory 'bb-attachments' one level above your WP root and make sure that it is writeable by the server. So if your WP installation is at /home/html/, create a directory /home/bb-attachments.
If you have an unusual setup (in particular, if your WP_PLUGIN_URL is somewhere other than /wp-content/) you may have to play with the path settings in download.php and image.php to make things work correctly.
If you'd like to change the default settings (as described in step 5 here http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/installation/), you may do so by editing forum-attachments-for-buddypress-bp-functions.php
I use a JavaScript trick to make uploads possible. If you are confident that most of your users will have JS enabled, you do not need to do anything else.
If you want to make uploads possible for users with JS turned off, you will need to alter the <form> tags on your theme's forum files: groups/single/forum/topic.php and groups/single/forum.php. Change <form action="" method="post" id="forum-topic-form" class="standard-form"> to <form action="" method="post" id="forum-topic-form" class="standard-form" enctype="multipart/form-data">. You'll need to make a similar change to forums/index.php: change <form action="" method="post" id="forums-directory-form" class="dir-form"> to <form action="" method="post" id="forums-directory-form" class="dir-form" enctype="multipart/form-data">.
