    Hello,

    I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction to add 2 custom fields to the private message form that will also show up in the inbox areas. I can add it to html form but I need the fields to save to the db.

    Happy to fund the assistance.

    This should be easy. I will ask @ravisharma to assist you with this on Monday.

    PS:- which template pack are you using? legacy or Nouveau?

    Thank you

    Hello studioleland,

    Check the following code in your “bp-custom.php”. It will add two fields in compose message screen and save extra field value in message meta table. On single thread screen it will show the extra field info.

    

add_action( 'bp_after_messages_compose_content', function() {
	?>
	<select name="extra-field-1">
		<option value="opt_1">Option 1</option>
		<option value="opt_2">Option 2</option>
	</select>
	<input type="text" name="extra-field-2">
	<?php
} );

add_action( 'messages_message_sent', function ( $message ) {

	if ( ! isset( $_POST['meta'] ) ) {
		return;
	}

	if ( isset( $_POST['meta']['extra-field-1'] ) ) {
		bp_messages_update_meta( $message->id, '_extra_field_1', $_POST['meta']['extra-field-1'] );
	}

	if ( isset( $_POST['meta']['extra-field-2'] ) ) {
		bp_messages_update_meta( $message->id, '_extra_field_2', $_POST['meta']['extra-field-2'] );
	}
} );

add_filter( 'bp_get_the_thread_message_content', function( $content ) {
	global $thread_template;
	$message_id = $thread_template->message->id;
	$append_content = 'Field-1: ' . bp_messages_get_meta( $message_id, '_extra_field_1', true ) . PHP_EOL;
	$append_content .= 'Field-2: ' . bp_messages_get_meta( $message_id, '_extra_field_2', true );
	return $content . $append_content;
} );

    Thank You
    Ravi

    Hello Studioleland,

    I have posted above code will work with bp-nouveau template. Please use the following section for bp-legacy templates.

    
add_action( 'messages_message_sent', function ( $message ) {

	if ( isset( $_POST['extra-field-1'] ) ) {
		bp_messages_update_meta( $message->id, '_extra_field_1', $_POST['extra-field-1'] );
	}

	if ( isset( $_POST['extra-field-2'] ) ) {
		bp_messages_update_meta( $message->id, '_extra_field_2', $_POST['extra-field-2'] );
	}
} );

    Thanks
    Ravi

    This is fantastic! Thanks very much. I’ll post my solution shortly. No doubt others will benefit since I couldn’t find anything on the core BP site for this.

    Hi Florent,
    Thank you for the question.

    handling file uploads are different than the normal fields.

    I will suggest to use a dedicated plugin like BuddyPress message attachment for your need(or look inot that and see if that suits you)
