Allowing members to create pages?

[pw121]

Forum URL: cityofcursedgods.freeforums.net

Alright, so what I want is like a game pages section in my forum where members can create their game page and input information into it. But I don’t know how to do it. 

WHAT I WOULD LIKE
So I want members to create their page as well as:

- Add HTML images (images of gameplay)

- Add Description for their game

- Add their Embedded code game

- Add background (out of the ones I make)




IS THERE ANY WAY TO DO THIS? THANKS IN ADVANCE

Not sure if you mean a custom page, or maybe a board? But in either case this is not possible.

This probably isn't what you have in mind, but most of what you listed can be done with a thread.

• So I want members to create their page
      - Members can create a thread
      
• Add HTML images (images of gameplay)
      - Members can embed images into posts
  
  
• Add Description for their game
      - Members can add text to posts
  
  
• Add their Embedded code game
      - Yeah this one would be a problem (see below)
  
  
• Add background (out of the ones I make)
      - You can have preset post templates with background images
        defined that the member can choose from to style their post
  

One the issues I see over all is allowing members to embed game code. This poses a security risk as there is no control over what script/code is being embedded which is why posts are formed with BBCode and other parts of the forum that do accept HTML/Scripts are limited to the forum Admin (and forum administrators if deemed necessary).  There's the potential of rendering the forum unusable to possible malware threats.

Yeah, what I mean is like they click a button called “Upload my game” and it will take them to their game dashboard (each uploading game has their own dashboard). This was where you can change description, add up to 3 images and add embedded code. After that, the admin check and have to accept it for people to see. Is this possible?

Scott  , I will instead have the button, there will be a form they must complete and it will be PMed to me. it will be “reviewed” and then I will manually create it if it is accepted.

Would something like this work?

This is a button on a custom page that when clicked automatically creates a thread on a private board (only the thread creator and admin can see). The Custom Posts Template plugin is used for the preset fields.

Yeah something like that might be

Also Scott, how do I make it so if you complete a form, all the values will be PMed to admin?
