looking for a few things

  • ok im looking for a few things, i have decided to open up a joke site (https://HaveALaugh.Net) using wordpress, and i must say on my local server it works really great!

    how ever i am looking for a few things, this might be possible, this might not be possible, im just going to list all the things i ‘want’, then ill search, and if i find them BEFORE someone answers great, and if someone answers before i find what im looking for great…

    1: user submissions of: text, Links, videos (more then likely from youtube…)
    2: some sort of rating system…
    3: now there will be ‘foul’ jokes and ‘adult’ jokes somewhere on the site so something (i will be adding all ‘adult humor’ jokes into a category called ‘adult humor’) a button you click and EVERY joke from that category will be hidden? or a simple ‘accept’ thing for when users register and ill make the ‘adult humor’ jokes visible to members only…(will have to figure out how to do this as well)
    4: a ‘subscripbe’ option for something like a ‘joke of the day’ (the rss feed will do, but something that gets e-mailed would be better…)

    hmm i think thats it, im off to sleep right now as i work early in the morning, when i get home, ill search for the things needed, or if someone else has a solution that works as well ^_^

    i just noticed this,**
    when i ‘publish’ an entry it add ‘jokes, lol’ to the begining of everything, any idea why O_o and how to remove this without haveing to hit ‘edit’ to every single one….

    ok well its not letting me edit it, but i found #4, but am having some difficulties installing it , and #2….

    Why not share links for the ones you’ve found? ??

    sure,

    well the rating one is there and the ‘subscribe’ is here only thing is i found install to be hard, and its not ‘automated’…. or at least i cant figure out how to make it automated ??

    but there is another one im looking for to

    something (a page) that will display a random ‘post’ (joke)

    Subscribe2 is one of my most favourite plugins. What problem do you find with the installation?

    For user submission, you could potentially use a contact form like cformII or maybe even TDO Mini forms.

    And for this members-only part: there some suggestions you could look into in this thread (particularly for pages rather than posts), but maybe something like WP-Sentry might suit your site a little better, since it gives more control over who can read your content.

    Hope this is somewhat useful.

    i have absolutely no skills in coding, so finding and creating that page for users to subscribe is a little annoying >.>

    @seanchiarot: Sorry to sound a little blunt here, but it’s actually one of the most straightforward installations one can do, since creating a new post or page is really part-and-parcel of using the administration interface of WordPress.

    If you’re wondering how to create pages, the Codex documentation for pages is probably one of the best places to start.

    There are plugins that are literally plug-and-play, but there are also plugins that require even more than just sticking a tag in the page, and for Subscribe, all you’re really doing is that:
    1. Create a brand new page
    2. Stick <!--subscribe2--> in the main content.

    As per the installation page.

    No code knowledge is required.

    1st off, im quite new to wordpress ??

    2ndly what threw me off was when it mentioned ‘token’ ??

    but i still dont understand this part

    ‘Define S2PAGE on line 43 to the page number of the page you created in step 9.’

    Not sure if that is still necessary anymore, but the ‘new’ number for that line is #79, where you have (in subscribe2.php)
    define('S2PAGE', '0'); – which can be changed to e.g.
    define('S2PAGE', '9'); – if the page id of your subscription page is 9.

    The blurb that comes with this line says:

    // by default, Subscribe2 grabs the first page from your database for use

    // when displaying the confirmation screen to public subscribers.

    // You can override this by specifying a page ID on the line below.

    If it works with just step 1 (I’m pretty sure it works for me now with just step 1. Previously I did have to move onto step 2) then just leave it I guess?
