How would you do an image hosting service based on WordPress?

  • Hi.

    I am exploring the idea of implementing a (vertical) image hosting service on a self-hosted WordPress platform.

    I have found several php scripts that can be used for a basic image hosting service and I am trying out one of them – but WordPress is such a great platform, and I am more familiar with it, so I would prefer to use WP if possible.

    I have found some relevant plugins for WP (Cincopa, BuddyPress etc.), but when I look at their details, they don’t look like they would deliver what they promise.

    So how would you do it? Can you help?
    What plugins you would perhaps combine to do this?

    I would like users to be able to post photos, arrange them in galleries/albums, comment/tag them, complete other custom fields – and, CRUCIALLY, mark them as public, private or friend.

    More advanced membership handling (including membership levels and payment options) would be desirable.

    Many thanks for any advice.
