Link submission website (ala Reddit)?

1 Views

Pligg sucks, Hotaru CMS is dead and I’m not sure if the Nominate theme is what I want. Basically I’m trying to create a link submission website like Reddit with WordPress, this would basically mean:

  • Voting
  • Easy link submission
  • Member creation and restriction of groups
  • oEmbed support (optional)

I looked at BuddyPress but it appears it’s trying to be more of a social networking site (Facebook) instead of a social link submission site (Reddit).

  1. These can be nicely done with WordPress using custom post type for link submission, so then the rest becomes very easy using a few plugins:

    • Voting – CMS Vote Up Social CMS
      News       will handle the voting.
    • Easy link submission – simple custom front end post form would do the job (ex: here or you can use plugins like Mini TDO, Gravity forms…
    • Member creation and restriction of
      groups – this is build in with WordPress, users and roles
    • oEmbed support – here is the only part i can think of that you would have a lot of work with unless you mean giving users ability to oEmbed there links like youtube in which case you can use the built in oEmbed support.
