hi @lucdkny, @colorfullady,

by default, the activity update is only intended for short and brief message to other users. Reason why the form is coming without any editor tools and doesn’t let you use any html tag.

If A+ or BP let you add images and videos, it’s because WP use automated oembed for such medias in any front-end editor, even the most simpliest like BP’s update.

If you want to mention docs, pdf, zip, or anything else, you might use some dedicated plugins. For example bp groups docs or Buddydrive. Each action made with help of these plugins will be mentionned on the activity feed. But to access the doc itself, users have to go to the mentionned group or profil.

I wouldn’t recommend you to get around these rules. File manipulation on front-end is delicate and a too easy opportunity for spammers or hackers. Don’t play with fire. 😉
