Idea Factory was born out of necessity, and the frustration of the lack of plugins that did exactly what I wanted it to do. This plugin allows users to submit new ideas from the front-end, and vote on them. Currently it allows a user to vote once per idea, then locks them out. It's also currently limited to logged in users, for now.

Demo

• AJAX powered front-end submission and voting
• Works for both logged-in and logged-out users
• 1 vote allowed per user per idea
• Emails the admin of a new submission
• Automatic setup or use anywhere with a shortcode
• Optionally set a threshold where each idea will be given a status based on total votes and emails the admin
• Extensible with hooks and actions on events
• More ideas loaded with AJAX on front-end
• Mobile friendly
