Customized Joomla Dating Plugin

Looking for someone to deliver a customized Joomla dating setup. Unlike the typical dating site, this site will resemble the popular rating site [url removed, login to view], but with a couple of extra features to set it apart.

I am already using a Joomla plugin that attempts to mimic hotornot. I encourage bidders to consider using it as a basis for their modifications. Details to follow.

## Deliverables

Essentially, every user will have a profile that consists of the following:

- A picture

- An "announcement" -- think of it like a facebook-ish status message

- Short "about me" and "more about what i'm looking for" fields

- A list of that person's details (height, etc)

All of this information must be provided by the user at signup.

Users of the site will be taken to a random profile upon visiting the site, which they must vote on to see the next profile, similar to "hotornot". Also like hotornot, guests can rate the photos and see what rating the previous profile has received after voting. Registered users, however, will have additional functionality, including:

- The ability to filter which profiles are displayed based off of signup information (height, race, gender, **LOCATION**-important, etc). I would like this filter feature would manifest in the form of a module.

- I would also like a module that displays the most recent "announcements" from users' profiles.

...

On [url removed, login to view], each profile has a link to send a message to the user in the photo ("Meet this person"). Following through leads users of that site to sign up for a premium (pay) service.

For my site, I want this functionality built in to the base account due to the fact that my site is completely free. Therefore, part of this project will be the construction of a simple messaging system. Users should also be able to have and maintain a list of "favorites."

I'm flexible as to how the coder would want to handle it, but users will need to have a backend in which they can update their profile/change their picture, read their mail, and manage their favorites.

A few other odds and ends:

- I am currently using the plugin "Hot or Not Factory," which I purchased several weeks ago. This plugin does a lot of good things but ultimately falls very short of delivering what I've stipulated above. Nevertheless, it could serve as the basis for this project, if the coder thinks it would help. Please check it out at [url removed, login to view] I'm also amenable for a ground-up design. Please let me know which strategy you'd like to pursue when you place your bid.

- I may use your work for several different applications. Therefore, I should be able to change templates/design with the component retaining all of its functionality.

- The site must be applicable for international users. I would imagine this would affect how sorting users by location would be handled.

- Instead of an "out of 10" rating, I want a simple "yes or no" rating system, with a user's rating being calculated by how many people vote "yes" on a certain profile.

- The site must be scalable for several thousand users.

- I have designed a non-functional prototype that incorporates the layout of the features I've stipulated above. I will release this to the coder I select. I am very motivated with this project, and will be at your disposal to help you complete your work in the scheduled time.

- This is just the beginning for what I want to do with this site. I'm hoping to forge a good working relationship with a reliable coder for lots of future work.
