Re: Who wants a media plugin for BP
copy this, add to it, paste it below in your post…. this will get a little overboard i’m sure, but we should list as much as we can and then narrow it down based on:
– if it’s possible
– time to complete
– cost
Features Request:
browser=person browsing the website
user= the individual user/profile owner
– seamless integration with buddypress
– this becomes a component that is activated through the bp admin menu
– and general settings are controlled by the admin in the wp-admin subnav
– not a plugin/mu-plugin
– user can select to only show pics/vids if your the users friend, or show anyone
– user can subscribe to pics/vids gallery rss just like activity rss
– browser can select “view random gallery” or “view random video” from the bp nav bar
– user has “gallery options” under their profile menu
– add/upload/remove/rename/add caption to images and videos
– user has “gallery settings” under their settings menu
– make pics/videos public, show to friends only, etc
– all media uploaded is searchable through the /members page
– a new <directory> is created called “Media” just like the “groups” or “members” or “events”
– this directory shares the default theme of BP and yet is customizable because it has it’s own directory/index.php and directory/media-loop.php (just like BP)
– admin decides how media should be stored
– on the website server
– or on kultura (i have no need for this)
– etc
– admin decides max file size, max storage amount per user and is able to delete any media uploaded
– user is able to choose which uploaded image is set as their avatar
– user is able to create galleries and select a default gallery icon/image (myspace)
– galleries could contain both video and images and are browsable as thumbs
– thumbnail image is “thickbox ready” and pops up both pics and video into a jquery thickbox with button for next / previous / close etc
– Gallery content/information/descriptions etc becomes bp-Xprofile data that can gotten and displayed much the same as regular bp-xprofile data (get_bp_xprofile data ect)
– except for the admin options, all gallery controls and content remain on the front-end/profile only
the list goes on and on… and there’s many ways this could all be done
add to the above, remove stuff (say why you removed)
I dont think these features are “too much” considering there’s $700 available for this project… I’m also open to a different developer…. this should be someone who lives and breathes buddypress and who keeps current with both wpmu and bp trunk versions
we would also need to know/specify which install we want this created for
wpmu 2.7.1 + BP RC1
wpmu 2.7 + BP RC1
wpmu 2.7.1 + BP latest trunk
etc… because chances of this working well on all the different install variation is tricky
worst case scenario, all we get is the $200 job and we have to make due
(im still down with that too)
I would like the developer to brainstorm and come up with a list of features that THEY think are possible considering the budget
$200 gets you ___________.
$700 gets you ___________.
($700 would get us something pretty damn cool from the right dev… and remember, if it’s done right Andy will add this to the BP core which I believe is the best option)
