You will have to edit core files or add_action to the creation. I’m pretty sure this has been asked before search google instead of search on this site

I’ll find the link and post it but someone even created a plugin to add extra fields below name and description

The groups extension API is meant to add a new tab to the groups interface. If by “create extra fields” you mean that you want to add additional metadata to the Group Details tab, here is some code from a client project I once did. I’ve modified it a bit to remove some custom functions. This should give you an idea of how to start.

`add_filter( ‘groups_custom_group_fields_editable’, ‘group_details_markup’ );
add_action( ‘groups_group_details_edited’, ‘group_details_save’ );
add_action( ‘groups_created_group’, ‘group_details_save’ );

function group_details_markup() {
$group_links = groups_get_groupmeta( $bp->groups->current_group->id, ‘e2e_links’ );
extract( $group_links );

$group_text = groups_get_groupmeta( $bp->groups->current_group->id, ‘e2e_text’ );

?>
Restaurant Description

(Type of food, etc)

Restaurant Price
groups->current_group->id, ‘e2e_price’ ); ?>

<option value="1" selected=”selected”>$
<option value="2" selected=”selected”>$$
<option value="3" selected=”selected”>$$$
<option value="4" selected=”selected”>$$$$
<option value="5" selected=”selected”>$$$$$

groups->current_group->id, ‘e2e_url’ ); ?>

Restaurant Website
<input type="text" name="group-url" id="group-url" value="” />

groups->current_group->id, ‘e2e_url’ ); ?>

Restaurant Phone Number
<input type="text" name="group-phone" id="group-phone" value="” />

MenuPages
<input type="text" name="group-menupages" id="group-menupages" value="” />

Yelp
<input type="text" name="group-yelp" id="group-yelp" value="” />

Chow
<input type="text" name="group-chow" id="group-chow" value="” />

Everyblock
<input type="text" name="group-everyblock" id="group-everyblock" value="” />

<?php

return;
}

function group_details_save( $group_id ) {
global $bp, $wpdb;

$plain_fields = array(
‘url’,
‘phone’,
‘text’,
‘price’
);

$links_fields = array(
‘menupages’ => ‘MenuPages’,
‘yelp’ => ‘Yelp’,
‘chow’ => ‘Chow’,
‘everyblock’ => ‘EveryBlock’
);

foreach( $plain_fields as $field ) {
$key = ‘group-‘ . $field;
if ( isset( $_POST[$key] ) ) {
$value = $_POST[$key];
groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, ‘e2e_’ . $field, $value );
}
}

$links = array();
foreach( $links_fields as $fn => $name ) {
$key = ‘group-‘ . $fn;
if ( isset( $_POST[$key] ) ) {
$links[$name] = $_POST[$key];
}
}
groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, ‘e2e_links’, $links );

// Prevent null searches by entering dummy values for important meta
if ( !groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, ‘bpgr_rating’ ) )
groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, ‘bpgr_rating’, ‘null’ );

if ( !groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, ‘bpgr_how_many_ratings’ ) )
groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, ‘bpgr_how_many_ratings’, ‘null’ );

if ( !groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, ‘e2e_price’ ) )
groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, ‘e2e_price’, ‘null’ );
}`

@boonebgorges I don’t think that code will work with 1.5

Did these get changed in 1.5

add_action( ‘groups_group_details_edited’, ‘group_details_save’ );
add_action( ‘groups_created_group’, ‘group_details_save’ );
