User generated content

blogs, galleries, fileboxes etc...

HOW?

For Galleries use MaxiGallery snippet, it is very powerful and flexible.

For Blog Use Ditto to display the blog article previews, use Jot to add user comments, use Reflect to build archives. To add new articles either use NewsPublisher or FDM or do it in the Manager.

For files you could use the FileDownload snippet AND plug-in.

Very helpful post, thanks.

Also needed:
user pages, some user personalization
and native forum...

user pages, some user personalization

For private pages you need to create a web document group and limit access to the document to that group. If you need extended user profile then you could use WebLoginPE.

and native forum...

There is no native forum yet, I have seen bridge using SMF.

It still doesn’t work correctly, and customization of SMF, phpBB and other ’big’ forums - is very difficult thing... Vanilla - lighter at all, but it doesn’t have needed functionality
