Hi to all of you!
I am a newbie here in WordPress and would like to know some thoughts on how can I develop my site.
I would like to have a site where there is a
1. User Registration - only members can post comments.
2. Contact Page -
3. File Upload - registered user can upload file through one of the page of the site.
Do you have an idea on how I can achieve these? What is the best plugins to use?
Appreciate you help.
Thanks!
Hi Cubes,
Welcome to the world of WordPress:)
1. In your blog's admin area, go to Settings > General and tick 'Anyone can register'; then go to Settings > Discussion and tick 'Users must be registered and logged in to comment'
2. I use Contact Form 7 to make contact forms. Free and easy.
3. WPRecipes posted some code for how to enable this: http://www.wprecipes.com/wordpress-tip-allow-contributors-to-upload-files
Look out for is current_user_can('contributor') in that piece of code. The contributor bit means that only registered users who are classed as Contributors will be allowed to upload files; it still won't allow Subscribers (the base level) to upload files, and for security reasons I don't think you would want to allow that.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Eric
