Dear members, Watch out, long post! I normally create very basic websites in wordpress (PHP/CSS/HTML and just a bit of js). Lately, someone has asked me to design a site with specific functionalities. Since I have not much experience in this type of work, I wanted to get advice from some professionals. They need a website, where users (store managers) can upload pictures of shoplifters with details and all, so the other users (shop managers) are aware of possible shoplifters. I was wondering whether wordpress is suitable for a project like this. Perhaps you know a better CMS or script... The idea is that when users visit the site, they have to login. then they'll see a page with 'visualized posts' or images (that are linked) to a post that contains more information. There should also be a news feed. That's all the info I have. 4 things: Security -> Is the normal Wordpress login platform good enough for a site like this, I dont see why not, if not is implementing a 2nd code (by text or other way) a good idea or still not enough. Posts most deprecate -> I'm not sure about this, but can I create categories (1 month / 6 months / 1 year) and change the code in a way that posts who have 1 month as category, get deleted after one month ? Or do you have an easier solution? Users must be able to fill in a form and send it to the police, do I need extra security measures for this form except recaptcha. (the client wants SSL). Responsiveness is important. In conclusion: Do you guys think Wordpress is suitable , if not what kind of CMS do you suggest for this. Do you have improvements for this project ?
I'd use 4images and make it restricted to members only. You can create categories, such as "California - Los Angeles" and so on. Users can upload images, add descriptions and comments and the admin can control pretty much every aspect of the CMS.
I guess it's late http://wptavern.com/o2-wordpress-plugin-expected-to-be-available-in-early-2014 I was at a talk Matt M gave in July and he was talking about it, sounded brilliant for bigger organisations where people need to share info. He said it had pretty much replaced email for them which made me curious - although I don't actually need it.
