Hi All…

Is it possible to create additional fields for forum posts in bbPress. For example we want to be able to have people vote up/neutral/down on something someone has written to track whether the idea is trending up or down in terms of community interest and support. We also want to be able to add different categories and/or tags to each post. Is this something that is native within the groups/forums or is there an plugin to add this functionality?

Thanks,
Greg

Not native, you may find some plugins eg

Introducing plugins for Quotes, Ratings and Unread Posts

the post rating plugin in that topic is broken.

there are better alternatives of the plugins in that topic though

have a search here

Plugins

We also want to be able to add different categories and/or tags to each post.

your can put forums in categories, and topics can have tags already . Are you looking for something different??

Looking for something that allows us to add various types of data fields for capturing data related to each post. One is simple like a rating, but could be just positive, neutral or negative. The others are more complex because we want the ability to hyperlink from one post to another with a multi-level dropdown.

Any ideas?

The additional fields might have to be some custom development so consider hiring a developer.
