We are looking for a custom Joomla! 1.5 Native component / module that duplicates a subset of the functionality found on crowdsound.com . Please see that site for an example of the functionality required.
The reason we are moving is we have found that their servers are overloaded, at time staking many minutes for each request. We need the same functionality but in a script we can install inside our Joomla-based website.
We will consider using an integration of existing open-source solutions, if they are available.
Requirements include:
* Joomla! 1.5 native extension: a module to display the “widget” and a component for administration.
* PHP 5.2
Users should be able to:
* view by “popular”, “recent” and “completed” features.
* have access to a search function
* be able to vote for / against a feature [once only cookie-based]
* suggest a new feature (suggestion name, suggestion details, user-id: 0 for not logged in)
* comment on a suggestion
The admin must be able to manage suggestions:
- edit suggestions
- delete or hide suggestions
- manage categories (name, style)
- set category: New (automatically if added within the past 7 days and not moved), In Progress, Updating, Under Review. Categories should be editable from the admin. Display color should be changeable by changing the css.
The admin can be basic, what is important is that the front-end module is robust, looks good and works well.
Given limitations of Joomla modules, it may be beneficial to create the module as a component and then use an iframe to display the component in the specific module position required. This design decision is up to you. If this sentence is confusing, then this project may not be for you.
I would like to have the project completed before Sept 1, 2009.
Please PM with questions or for additional information.
Thank you.
