Turning BuddyPress into an imageboard.

    Hi,

    I’m considering using BuddyPress for a social image board like website. Basically what I want is a front-page that has user uploads displayed in tumblr-like style and a system for rating/voting “pending” uploads which will be pushed to the front-page. Is such a thing possible and what plugins are already available that would help me do this?

    Thanks so much,
    Sylvester

    With the power of WordPress, It can (and has) been done.

    Two ways that i can think of.
    1. Use wordpress’ built in post types and create a front end post form (search the wp plugin repo) or having a look at p2theme.com’s code and using one of the hundreds of post voting plugins (search the wp plugin repo) for the voting feature (for the pending part, have a look at http://wpvote.com/ to see how they achieved it. while, it’s for articles rather than pictures it is a similar concept.)

    or.
    2. Creating a custom buddypress component (see the skeleton component) and codex.buddypress.org’s pages on custom components and plugins developement.
