  1. Ok I have off work for the day :], so I figured I'd ask for some help here. I'm not sure if anyone's familiar with smf forums, (the one this site uses), but I've intalled and am working on modifying the smf media gallery mod. But I'm stuck at a problem now. If someone could go to my site, even just to create a test account, you'll see that when you make a new album, what I'd like to put in play is my php/xml playlist generator, but what I'm searching for is the code that shows that album 1 2 and 3 are this users albums. I've set it up so everytime an album iscreated all the files are copied over for it to generate an automatic playlist of their mp3 files, but I'd like to add the function that they can choose which one to display on their profile, so it'd look like it is on my profile
  2. Thank you for the links and advice, can you elaborate on what makes you not feel welcome to their sites? And how they're shady? I'd like for my site to be completely welcoming, giving users the best overall control, say, and experience. And with password recovery, thinking of using the system myspace has with the salute, only much faster service. I forgot my password last march, couldn't get back into my email because it was for my old web site :[, and did the salute, and they kept sending automated responses saying to read the faq, which then directed me to send a salute, etc. Also would you be interested in working on this project? Lol I only use my spare time, and I figure anyone else with some spare time, and interested in making such a site is more than welcome aboard. I pay for the hosting, and when/if the time comes where userbase requires a server I'll have the funds, plus I get discounts through my university. And I can provide many web development, 3d animation, etc. software :]. But please elaborate, as I'm very insterested in writing these notes down, and ways to solve. I'm hoping my plan to allow users to redeem money accrued from ads on their pages, and apges they've visited etc. for purchasing things from other users, and possibly even redeeming straight to their paypal/visa etc. In this way I figure, they'll want to be very active, to make real money, for doing nothing more than using the site really. And I'm also hoping by adding real time mmorpgs, and an arcade with literally thousands of games, and stuff, and the option in their settings to basically choose what applications and stuff to appear on their page. But most of all hoping the ringtone feature will attract many. I've just gotta figure out how to get the ringtone to be an attachment to sms from the site, in this way, people can get truly "Free" ringtones, from any songs they upload, and choose what clip from the song, but being an attachment to the message will completely eliminate the data charge :]. Also, can you give any ideas, towards what would make you want to join a new social network site? What dot he others not offer, that you'd go crazy over pretty much, and what about them do you like the most? Thanks again guys for the help, I'm really trying to plan/code this and hopefully launch beta in June :]. Also trying to find people interested in working on the site in their spare time for fun, and if they're also looknig to improve their design skills, and learn. If the site makes money, other than costs of maintaining it, I'd split the money evenly between everyone involved. I've got a career outside of this so this is just a hobby I hope to succeed with. Anyone interested please post in here as well.
  3. Ok, hoping the folks here are nicer than over at simplemachines lol. But anyways, building a social networking site based from smf, but will be themed accordingly and using simpleportal. Basically, I'm going to incorporate all the favorite features of the big sites like myspace, facebook etc. Before continuing I know 100 percent that it's been done before, etc etc. But anyways from there I want to add more features, along with improve those features. So I've got a bunch of things and ideas, and working with a team that has ideas and code. Basically, not only will it be a social networking site, but a mash up of other genre's too, arcades, mmorpgs (original ones), apps, lyrics, customizing ringtones (sent to phone as an attachment to sms instead of a link to avoid data charges.). Basically if anyone has ideas such as what would make them completely satisfied with a site of this nature, please post. The virtual shop will host things such as new skins for playlists, (the playlists are auto generated from your uploaded music in albums, and you can choose between playlists, and also a new unique idea (gaining money from the website). So say user a, goes crazy, whore's has thousands of friends, is posting in the forums, etc. uniquely visiting many pages and over the course of a month, his activity, has accrued say 100 dollars from google adsense, and now he wants to buy a stereo from user b, he'll be able to redeem 20 percent of what he's accrued for the site, and put that towards his item, pulled from my paypal account. Along with ability to buy credits, and earn credits for posting lyrics to the lyrics page's, and updating the wiki, and posting in the forums, and making 3rd party apps, etc. These can be used to buy skins for music player, along with many other things. Also would love to make is the top in user customizability. css customization is implemented, but on the user's end would like them to be able to specify almost every aspect of the site, to get what they want from it, and not what they don't. So say your a business, and you want your employees, and resumes from the jobs part, and stuff like that, but you don't want thigns like "people you may know" being some 14 year old kid from the area lol. But at the same tmie you can enable these features at any time. So please throw in ideas, and comments, I'd really like to make a site that everyone can use and love. To further explain the monetary gain for users, say you visit one of our advertisements and buy their product, and we make 50 percent from comission, for example you buy a 100 dollar item, we get 50 dollars, well 10 dollars of that will be credited back to you :]. In this way, the most active users, could make money. Also adding a pay per click feature and referral system eventually, and an advertisements page, where once you complete surveys offers etc. you'll get so many credits. So it'll be more than us making a site that is to just benefit from you, but us making a site that you can benefit from. Please please please throw all ideas, etc., post things like what sites you use, why you use them, what you don't like about certain sites, etc. Any help in making this site is greatly appreciated, and all ideas will be contributed. On the site there will also be a request page, and tutorials on how to make 3rd party apps, which will then be reviewed, and approved :].
  4. Would something like this be easily integratable into drupal and smf?
  5. Hey just wondering, you built your own music player or what did you use? This is exactly the kind of thing I've been trying to make for my website but have had no avail, I'm using Drupal, and modifications to try and make a social networking site, so it would help great deal. Thanks for any info
