Yesterday I was thinking up different ways to use pligg as a framework and not just another digg clone.
I hope people will share their thoughts on where pligg will be in the future.
Blogging platform
- Pligg supports articles to be posted, categories.
- People can vote what they like and a commenting system is available.
- A social networking aspect is also available.
- Supports multi user blogging. Companies, or developers can share their ideas
Required:
- A nice editor to add blog posts
- Calendar to keep track of posts
ECommerce platform
- For this one I’ll take an example of a shirt website.
- New shirts can be posted as articles, with an image.
- People can vote and recommend to friends
- Recommend items that depend on your voting pattern
- Payment module for safe transaction
- Picture gallery for users.
Project Management
Someone posted an idea of using pligg to post new feature requests and let users vote for what they want. Similar thing can be done for bugs fixes(comes back to a blog)
Comment system
Calendar
- Multiple users can post various events
- A calendar page to display all the event of week, month
- Comments
- Group thing: You join a group and you get all the events listed on the home page. You can create a group and make your own events
Pligg still in beta stage and young so it’ll take a while until it reaches the stage where it can do these things and much more (I bet it can already do a lot of these things already)
I’m trying to work out how blocks are used in drupal and see if a similar implementation can be done. This will make it more modular, easy plug and play. It’s a bit theoretical but I’ll writeup something and post soon
So folks lets think of new sectors pligg can reach to in the future?
