WordPress for blogging forum events?
-
Hello
I need a fast, scalable PHP/MySQL solution that would have two main sections:
- a basic blogging tool, so that the site owners can write articles and announce upcoming events to which registered users can sign up. A calendar should also be displayed on the frontpage so users know what’s coming up in the next few weeks
- a forum where users can talk with each other, and also send private messages to one or more users. I was told to check out bbPress since it’s a WordPress plug-in, and I also like FluxBB for its speed. Either way, the forum must have solid anti-troll features (experience shows that banning IP’s and e-mails isn’t good enough, and must also support bayesian filtering + community-based monitoring.)
Nice add-on’s would be…
- to display the list of connected users on one side of the frontpage
- let users print a name tag (with their ID as barcode for easier identification)that they can bring to outings
Before I invest time checking out WordPress further, if you’ve built sites that have the above features, would you says WordPress is a good solution?
Thank you.
PS: I notice that this forum has no WYSIWYG editor, and no Preview feature. Is this bbPress?
