voting application

[5tea1th]

Hey my php freeks, I'm a newbie to the exciting world of scripting, but i wanted to pick your brains on something that i'm stuck on. Im working on a voting application, so people can upload videos, photos, music, images and have it voted on, and can be linked to social sites.... Sort of like the "Hot or not" script with a thumbs up or thumbs down. Can any of the awesome minds here , advise me on what is the best course to make this happen please

 

thanks

 

look forward to your feedback

Start coding. I'd start with a basic 2 col with header/footer design and make it display content from a static file. Kinda like the index.php file is the controller and the content files are in a folder. Then I'd build a menu file to spit out the links from the content folder. I'd then user authentication and tie it to the menu and file display and a back-end to admin manage the users(think moderators for admin privileges) I'd then add in an editor like tinymce for the content files, all the while thinking of a forum. Then I'd do the user upload section and a forum and tie those together with the rest of the site and the back-end. Once you have that framework secured I'd make it so it could display the various multi-media files from where they are stored and tie it in to the admin back-end so you can view/manage whats there. Then make a voting frame and tie it to the displayed forum/media.

 

There, all sounds kinda easy, huh?
