Wetpaint site, Injected, or Attached?
Nov 5 2008, 2:55 PM EST
I'm having trouble determining which is the right application for us - a site, the injected, or attached. We're a student organization for digital media at a college, and we already have our own website, but it's not social yet. We want to be able to allow students to upload their portfolios (both images and audio/video content), have discussions, add links to design resources, and add events about upcoming media events in the area to a calendar. In addition to that, we want to be able to connect current students & alumni to local businesses in order to get jobs/freelance work - so we'd like both students and clients to be able to post to a job board. And finally, we're collaborating internally on a big project with the main branch of the college, and want to have an area where we can post our progress, and the main branch faculty members can log in and see/edit what we're working on (proposals, grants, potential user interfaces) - but this area would have to be private between just our group and the faculty, not the general public. Can anyone tell me what's the best way to set this up? Should the faculty-related project just be made into its own site/wiki, and those types of shorter-term projects would each be their own site? Or can everything be branched right off our current website? Sorry for the long question, and hope you can help!!

There are only two major choices to consider:1) Injected - This puts Wetpaint EasyEdit capability into a website that you already have (a non Wetpaint site). Flixster.com uses this. Here's an example Injected page - http://www.flixster.com/actor/selena-gomez 2) Attached - A complete Wetpaint site that is hosted on our servers. The Trueblood site is an example - http://truebloodwiki.hbo.com/ 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

ok, i thought injected sounded good. but what about the separate faculty-related projects? they need to be private so only certain members can view them. can that also be set up with injected, or does it require a separate site?

The privacy of a site that is using Injected is up to the site. Injected just allows certain Wetpaint functionality to be embedded. Injected is for site developers. If you're not comfortable working with APIs or server-side-includes, choose a regular Wetpaint Attached site.
