Hi.... I am working on an environmental project and as I have started receiving the outcomes of that project, I want to share information of my project with the world. Also at the same time want to involve other people in to the project. I already have an environmental blog and I want to add a subdomain like "projects.yoursite.com" which will have different projects either started by me or by members of blog. Can you recommend me any premium or free wordpress theme that can allow people to start projects and take actions on the projects within wordpress? The features required are: Allow project type post entries like Project Title, Project Mission, Project Milestones etc... Capability of uploading files by registered users Other people or visitors can contribute in the form of polls or messages or any other way Please guide me what can I expect from wordpress or is there any other better way to accomplish this? Thanks...
I think nobody used to do this problem.No ideas,but you can code them with custom post type,custom field,taxonomies,I think I will show all.The only thing which you must do: code with custom post type.
You could use multisite to get the project.yoursite.com blogs but I'm not sure if it works the same way as WPMU used to where users can sign up for a blog themselves, or if you as admin need to create each one. I'm also not sure whether it's possible to add the same content types to each newly created blog without having to manually do it every time. Drupal might really be better for this, to be honest.
In that case also I would need a theme supporting the features I listed at original post. So can you recommend any theme that best matches my requirements???
the features you're requesting cannot be contained within a theme solely. you need functionality modification to the cms system to allow for some of these features. you can handle some or all of this with the support of plugins and from there you'll simply need to modify whatever theme you choose to use with custom page templates to support your unique needs for said features. I can't advise specifically because if I were going to undertake a project like this I would probably just write and design something myself to meet my needs. Hope this helps to answer your questions.
Here are some plugins that might be useful. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/project-management
