## Description
This plugin adds support for bbcode markup to wordpress, bbpress and buddypress.
It integrates with the ‘bbPress shortcode whitelist’ plugin to provide a safe way
of enabling BBCode without giving your users access to all shortcodes.

```
I have enhanced support for the [url] and [quote] tags, and added potentially
useful
css style class names in the html output of the tags, to allow for exciting theming
potential.
For example:
```
[quote=NAME]QUOTE[/quote]
```
will render as:
```
```
Or if NAME matches the login name of a user on the system, it will render as:
```
```
Where DISPLAY_NAME is the display name that user. With BuddyPress installed the
name
also becomes a link to their profile page, otherwise if bbPress is installed,
it becomes a link to their forum user page.

## Installation
1. Upload the `bbpress-bbcode` folder and its contents to the `/wp-content/plugins/`
directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
## FAQ
One of your tags doesn’t work the way I need it to can you fix it?
I can try. I want the plugin to be flexible in the bbcode formats it
accepts. In
the case of conflicts I plan to add options in the administration dashboard so each
wordpress user can control how it behaves for them.
Can you add support for a popular bbcode that appears to be missing?
I can’t promise anything in this regard. It looks to me like all the common
tags
are already supported. But if someone points out one that isn’t already supported
by another plugin somewhere, I’ll look at adding it.
Do you have a current road map for further development of this plugin?
Yes.
* Detect if bbPress Toolbar is installed, and if so provide administration
options for replacing some/all of the buttons behaviour to bbcode instead of html.

## Changelog
#### 2.0.1
* Tested and works with 4.5.2
* No new features
#### 2.0
* Replaced support for “Viper’s Video Quicktags” with support for the more
simple“
Video Audio BBCode” plugin. The former was causing conflicts with the shortcode
whitelist.
* All audio and video bbcodes moved to ‘Video Audio BBCode’ plugin.
#### 1.5.1
* Added support for buddypress private messages
#### 1.5
* Fixed bug that stopped the bbcode working in the BuddyPress activity stream.
#### 1.4
* Added support for [freesound] tag.
* Added support for [user] tag to display content only to logged in users.
* Added support for [guest] tag to display content only to non-logged in users.
#### 1.3
* Added support for buddypress activity updates
* Added support for buddypress group forums
#### 1.2
* Added support for [video] tag in a way that enhances Viper’s support. New tag
auto
detects if it contains a youtube or googlevideo url and tries to render
as if it was a tag or [gvideo] tag if so. If Viper’s is installed, it supports
auto detecting all of the video quicktags that support urls before resorting
to Viper’s normal behaviour. Did this to support old posts imported from a Phorum
forum that supported a generic [video] tag for youtube, googlevideo etc.
#### 1.1
* I can’t actually remember what this version changed now, I forgot to add this
note
at the time! o.O Possibly this is the version where I allowed as an alias
for [gvideo]
#### 1.0
* Detects if Viper’s Video Quicktags is installed, and if not supports and [gvideo]
tags natively.
* Improved code structure.
#### 0.3
* Added support for bbpress-shortcode-whitelist plugin
#### 0.2
* Fixed quote tags to work with multiple variations
* If quote name matches a registered user’s login name:
- It replaces their user login name with their display name
* - Creates link to their profile page if buddypress is installed
* - else creates link to their bbpress forum page if bbpress is installed
* Added css style classes to much of the output html to allow much fun custom styling…
* Restored support for [gvideo] tag as no conflict with VVQ exists, since the latter
uses a tag instead.
#### 0.1
* Initial version. Fork from b0ingball bbcode.
* Adds support for bbcode to bbpress
* Fixes behaviour of [quote] and [url] tags
* Temporarilly disables and [gvideo] tags to avoid conflict with Vipers Video
Quicktags.
