I am trying to create a community website but I am having trouble creating the infrastructure the way I want it.
I want to create a community where people can ask questions or create discussions in a forum type setting. I would like to have a feature on a map where you tag the question/discussion to a certain location and a pin will appear there on the map. The user can choose when to expire the pin and the pin expires after a certain time period of inactivity unless they are ‘fixed’ by the admin because it is important information. Users can click on the pin and answer the question, reply and upvote/downvote. Users can also rate the pins and each other and can private message each other. The pins can be categorized per country and per question/discussion type. The question/discussion type changes the look of the pin. They could click on the pins on the map to show the question or sort through the questions in the forum. When a certain question/discussion point is selected the map zooms in to the country which the pin is tagged to. The map shows all the pins in that country. When the category is switched to another country or a pin is chosen which is based in another country the map zooms in to that particular country and all the pins in that country are shown.
Is there a way to achieve the above with WordPress plugins or would I have to create this system from scratch? What would be the best way of going about this?
If you are looking to create a specific functionality that can not be achieved through plugins, you will have to have a developer build it for you from scratch.
