WP Gurus: Plugin that allows for user submitted content? + Other community plugins
 

I am starting a new project that will be very community oriented. The users will have the ability to interact within the community, post their own unique posts (admin approval required), profiles, etc etc.

I have seen that there are a number of plugins for user submitted content (ex: http://perishablepress.com/user-submitted-posts/), yet without any experience with them individually I am not sure which one to start with.

Have any of you had experience with this? If so, what plugin(s) would you suggest?

I intend to use something like BuddyPress or Mingle for other features, as well as MagicMembers for premium memberships. Is there a way to tie the same login for each user across all plugins? Rather than individual? I am possibly going to be adding a small forum as well (using simple:press or something similar). Obviously I don't want to have my users create a new login for each service individually. Are these based off of the base Wordpress user registration?

This type of Wordpress setup is all new to me and far more advanced than anything else I have done with Wordpress to date. Rather than months of trial and error I am trying to figure out the most plausible setup out the door.

If you have any informative input for me it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Back to the top. Nobody has any experience with this??

Spoke to fris briefly and he had some good insight. Anyone else?

fris is like the resident wp nerd... sure he'll get you sorted soon. :thumbsup

What about the plugging that allows ppl to login via twitter / facebook and comment. Where can I find that?

Sorry to hijack =]

Have you taken a look at disqus?

I was busy with testing the Facebook api / WP

You need to make a page on Facebook and application and use this plugin
- Simple Facebook Connect

Nice thing is that it integrates with the Facebook comment system

Here an example:

Im using mingle on one of my wp blogs and it works pretty well, It also lets you add custom fields and there is also a lot of extra mods and plugins for it here http://icomnow.com/plugin-store/

No problem, I appreciate the bumps.

I would suggest:
http://disqus.com/features/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mingle/

I'd be concerned about the third party nature of it.

try searching for buddypress

u need pligg

LOL lots of suggestions which one is the best???!!
