I think I posted a couple weeks back somewhere here, and I posted in the UltraNerds Forum as well.
I've got the layout of the "lite" version down, and I'm now trying to set up a beta or pre-beta site to run it. I'll release the URL once I have the basics set up. It will be a "live" site, so no testing will be allowed (unless you are a model or photographer, even if you are not in the pittsburgh area).
The layout of the "lite" version will use a heavily modified "users" system for storing most of the information on the users (models, photographers, etc). I would really like to do this partially through community, but it still might be limited to handling logons only for the GL3 and GForum.
The category system will be modified slightly to allow a category to belong to a user. Only that user can add/modify that category. There are a few restrictions on where you can set up "user" categories.
With in that, a user can have links, and each link can be an image, or other type of file. This will allow the *maximum* use of existing plugins, code, or whatever you may have to still work on a "link", while adding in new features. This will provide *maximum* compatibility with all future upgrades. The only real override is to the user scripts, and everything else is pulled through the plugins area.
Without apology, this version is going to be pretty much what *I* want and need in such a program, based on the flaws, issues, problems, etc I've dealt with on other similar systems like OMP, MM, and such. (If those don't mean anything to you, this program is probably not something you are seeking).
The "pro" version will be significantly different, but should be able to import all the data from the "lite" version, even though some features will inevitably be disabled because that data was not added/linked in in the Lite version. The planned release for that is still down the road, maybe 6 months.
I hope to have the lite version out for beta test on my sites this week, barring more real-world interference. I should have a packaged version to run on your site as a _beta_ a few weeks after that, as the major bugs are worked out. There should be no security or other such issues, as it's based on the stable GL3, but not all planned features will be immediately available, they will be added as the program matures towards the final release candidate.
My purpose is to set up LOCAL version of these sites. The goal is to hook up models/photographers/clients within a certain mileage range of a central location. For instance, a certain city, like Pittsburgh, and a 100 or 150 mile radius. It's not designed with the philosophy of being a "global" meetup or hook up site. I find that to be one of the biggest problems with these sites. Places like NY, CA, or such obliterate the smaller areas completely. (I'm considering allowing one main set up to install "regional" centers, and "orphans" those without a regional center, but that might not be until the pro version, though it could be manually managed a bit in the lite version).
I really am looking for a bunch of people who want in on this during this alpha/pre-beta stage. The planned release price is going to be at least $500 + links license. This is a money-making type of site, designed to hook both hobbiests and working people up. Advertising on sites like this runs the range from clothing and equipment to services like hair, cars, studio rentals, etc.
If you have a valid idea for a site, and think this sort of program will be what you are looking for (or need more details) PM me here, or post in the ultranerds forum. You'll get the program for 1/2 price (payable in advance, because of the off-the-shelf nature of some of the modules), a certain amount of custom programming to make it work for you, and priority consideration of new features/needs to be integrated into the final program. You'll also get significant discounts on the "pro" version, and if your site is successful, maybe even free upgrades to the pro version for helping us get it working right. I really need people who want to put up this sort of site, or migrate their existing gallery/photographer type site to this.
