Hey guys,

How easy would it be to create a MySpace ‘type’ website – not really sure what you’d call it?

I’ve got a mate that wants to create a site that requires user registration etc and that allows users to upload their own content to their personal space, a la MySpace :o

She’s not sure if she’d want them to be able to completely create their page from scratch or just modify a template, like you do with MySpace?

I was wondering if there are any packages out there that can do this sort of thing already :)

Cheers,

SW.
 
Surely it would be a CMS with user pages, with an additional module to alter the CSS?

Sorry I don't actually know of any packages myself, but people reading may be able to help based on what i have just said.....or there is the alternative, that was i just said was pure rubbish (probably the latter)
 
I don't mean to be rude, but why?

Answer that as there are hundreds of options.

(however, if a lá myspace - why not myspace??!)
 
There are too many social networking sites with established userbases to even consider making your own, unless it's really innovative.

:D

I agree totally, I think she'd be waiting her time...

But in all honesty, I think its because she wants the personalness of having your own site - and she’s got a pretty catchy domain name registered/lined up :p

No ready made packages then :(

There are hundreds of things out there - hell coding one wouldn't be hard.

BUT, if it is for a personal site, why will others use it (you mentioned users).

If it's not, it'll crash and burn. No offence at all.

If it's just something less... odd... look at mambo - http://sourceforge.net/projects/mambo/.

It's going to be a localised community thing, but she's hoping it'll grow?

She's a DJ promoter, and she's hoping to create a sort of community of DJ's :)

I don't really know the specifics - I only said I'd ask to see what’s available already :(

I'll check out Mambo though.

Cheers,

SW.
