Custom Group Details

    I need to decide on a social networking platform and am a wordpress developer but new to buddypress. There are two features I need for my social network that I have yet to be see if it’s possible with BuddyPress

    1. I need to add custom detail fields for group creation. We can so easily add profile fields for new members but why isn’t there native group field creation? Is there a plugin that does this well or do we have to develop a custom solution? Specifically I want to be able to add some fields for the use of a paypal button on group page to allow for donations.

    2. Anyway to put groups into categories? I want to make it easier on users to navigate groups or allow group admins to select from a preset list of categories to place their group in.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!

    There may be some plugins available that do some of this, but I haven’t kept up on it. I think some get close, but not exactly what you’re talking about. I think they do pieces.

    That said, it’s pretty easy to add this using the BP Group API: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/

    It can ask for information at signup and then you can add a tab on each group for updating it and then display it wherever you want.
