The Movable Type Community Pack
The Movable Type Community Pack brings exciting, new levels of public participation to your Movable Type powered website. Beyond simple comments -- the Community Pack lets your users create, curate, and share content on your site.
The Community Pack features:
- User Blogging
- Recommend This
- Sort-by-Recommend
- User Profiles
- Commenter Authentication
User Blogging
Allow registered users to create new entries and discussion threads on your blog. Instead of limiting commenter involvement to just responding to posts, the "Post" plugin lets registered users create their own posts. There posts are Movable Type entries created by users -- that other users can comment on. You can see this in action below on the Serious Eats "Talk" page.
Recommend This
What your audience is interested in right now? Let your users vote on posts and comments they like by clicking the "recommend" link. Recommend offers an easy way for users to express their opinion without leaving full-fledged comments.
Sort-by-Recommend
Create views of the posts and comments with the most user "recommendations" over the last day, week, month, or all time. This creates a view into your site that casual users can keep up with.
User Profiles
Allow your visitors to keep track of their comments, blog posts, and favorite posts on your site, and to keep up with the posts and comments of their favorite users. When users register for your site, a profile page is created that can include and track the user activity
- Profile information, such as a photo, interests, or location information
- A list of comments submitted by that user
- A list of comments submitted in response to that users submissions
- A list of posts and comments recommended by that user
Commenter Authentication
Comment and Talk privileges can now be reserved to registered users. This reduces comment spam and lets users keep track of their comments on your site. User comments are listed on their profile page.
