I remember the previous buddypress site had a thread with some great ideas for implementing the ability to attach media (photos, videos, music etc) to posts to the activity stream. Does anyone know if this is still being developed by anyone? I can’t seem to locate the original thread.

Attach? As in upload? Never seen anything that could do that, yet, and don’t know why you’d want to, since activity disappears very quickly indeed off the page.

Embed, well, you can use the oembed plugin and/or the tinymce plugin (if you can get it working) or build your own toolbar above the textarea (search for ‘quicktags’ to find a thread I made for that (for forum posts, but it’d work fine for the activity update textarea too).

Maybe he means about attach media from the textbox like Facebook style !

[@xspringe Participant 15 years, 6 months ago]

Yes, to clarify I do mean Facebook style media attachment from the textbox. I remember there was a large thread on the previous site with people looking for this functionality and some people mentioning that it was in development somewhere.

I be happy to sponsor someone who could add this function to Forum Attachment Plugin which currently does a good job with forum post attachments but doesn’t display anything in the activity stream. I need this badly.
