 * Hello developers,
 * I’m having a difficult time understanding how the javascript produces the activity
   form. I have a good understanding of HTML/CSS, and know very minimal basics about
   javascript and PHP.
 * If you will take a look at this example of what I’m trying to do:
    [http://imgur.com/lv3eC2b](http://imgur.com/lv3eC2b)
 * Basically I want it to allow me to include at most two additional URLs, labeled“
   +URL” and “+Files” in the diagram. However only specific top-level domains are
   allowed to be entered. If they aren’t then it doesn’t allow the information to
   be posted.
 * I’m looking through the javascript file and I see the scripts for how the plugin
   handles adding photos, videos, and URLs. I’m hoping I could just copy-paste some
   of these, change some values, and add a URL validation function.
 * Any assistance is much appreciated 🙂

 * At the very least, I’d like to be able to limit which URLs are embedded and which
   are displayed as plain text.

 * Hi there [@xyhavoc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xyhavoc/),
 * I hope you are well today and thanks for your question.
 * I just tried looking at your example, but unfortunately it wouldn’t load for 
   me.
 * So are you looking to add two additional buttons to the plugin that on click 
   allow additional URL’s?
 * Please advise!
 * Thank you 🙂
 * Kind Regards
    Jack.

 * Yeah. I’m looking for a solution to include multiple input boxes that will accept
   only a specific top-level domain URL so the site is used only to post specific
   content. For instance, the user can input:
 * _“Hey guys, check out this video I made! I’ve also attached a link to the video
   source files.”
    +insert youtube URL +insert example.com URL
 * It then outputs the text, the embedded video, and the embedded example.com URL
   link (the same way Buddypress Activity Plus already works). As long as the back-
   end can get me the output that I need, I could style it myself.
 * Here’s another link to the example, hopefully it works for you:

 * I’m probably asking for too much, I may just need to hire a programmer.

 * Hi there [@xyhavoc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xyhavoc/),
 * Greetings, yeah I’m afraid this would require quite a bit of custom coding and
   isn’t something that’s out of the box.
 * You could take a look within the plugin files themselves to check how they are
   done and then basically replicate that 🙂
 * Thanks!
 * Kind Regards
    Jack.
