Modders get the chance to register for this feature... just like on the current SWAT mod database. The mod creators can present their work in pre-set categories... just like on moddb
with their account they can edit their presentations at any tim

Nice idea - would be nice if we can get this working

the entire feature has to be placed on "plugins" in order to show the database/spotlight on different pages

Thats an interesting part - maybe some JS and if you click on it there appears a popup window with the content of the mod creator... i think some php, and javascript would be needed

What is needed to get this done?
a php script being able to handle this job... maybe a cms which can be made compatible with SWAT and other sites

this site is somehow based on woltlab and i am not sure if woltlab can handle this (but i guess yes), i am very familiar with phpBB3, but wordpress is also a good choice.

Registration process.
The mod creators register and get an activation code via mail... once the account get activated a mod entry with different categories get created automatically and the mod creator automatically is "moderator" of the mod

thats it

Register and activation code via mail is OK - that supports nearly every CMS that is available on the market. The problem is the automatic assignment and creation of a "subforum, page whatever". You would need the information during the registration process - than it would be possible i guess. Becoming then mod in this forum is also possible - but adaptions to the cms would be needed i guess.

Well besides the fine tuning of such a forum i think we should try and test out what is feasible... I can help a bit with php - and i would need some time to get familiar with the cms we decide to take (except its phpBB

Well like i told i can try to figure out how it works with phpBB3. I have read that there are several mods outside that could handle the requested features - so there would be less to adapt to suit our needs.

And i could help a bit with php as well...
