Custom Activity Post

Hello I would like to change the basic activity post from “what’s new” and a text box field to 5 input fields, similar to these:
Band Name:
Album Name:
Song Name:
My thoughts:
Tags:

Not sure if this is possible, but that’s what I’m really interested in. If I can’t do that, then Buddypress isn’t going to work for me. I’m a newbie when it comes to wordpress and php, so if there is an answer, please spell out as much as you can for me. I appreciate all help and if it’s not possible, please let me know so I can move on to another solution.

Good luck. I’ve been trying to get tags added for over a year now. I’ve come back to beg some more since I’ve come to realize that tags are desperately needed to make the activity feeds worthwhile (see: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/tags-in-activity-feed-posts/).

Are you basically looking to have a type of user generated content and not necessarily activity feed? If so, try ucanpost plugin (which wont have all the options you need) or gravity forms.

What kinds of site is it meant to be?

@naimickmac23 there’s no BP plugin at this time that does that for the Activity Stream. It is do-able but you’d either have to code it yourself or hire a developer to do so. This can be do-able as well without BuddyPress, as neononcom mentioned above you could set up a form where users can post the required fields. If you need assistance with these forms, do post at the WordPress forums.

@neononcon you can make an enhancement request at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

You can edit the post form file or add activity meta. Here is an example of adding buttons but it can easily be changed to text fields
