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
- Limited to logged in users for now
- 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
- Extensible with hooks and actions on events
- More ideas loaded with AJAX on front-end
- Mobile friendly
