Idea Factory

Idea Factory was born out of necessity, and the frustration of the lack of plugins that did exactly what I wanted it to do. This plugin allows users to submit new ideas from the front-end, and vote on them. Currently it allows a user to vote once per idea, then locks them out. It’s also currently limited to logged in users, for now.

  • AJAX powered front-end submission and voting
  • Works for both logged in and logged out users
  • 1 vote allowed per user per idea
  • Emails the admin of a new submission
  • Automatic setup or use anywhere with a shortcode
  • Optionally set a threshold where each idea will be given a status based on total votes and emails the admin
  • Automatic status grading
  • Extensible with hooks and actions on events
  • More ideas loaded with AJAX on front-end
  • Mobile friendly
