I'm looking for a way to create a user generated photo wall. Like a memorial site so to speak. I would have a big header image up top, than people could submit their own photo and it would post below the big header image I posted. Does anyone know of a way I can do this either with a plug in or a theme? Thanks!

Hi Rick, please have a look at the wordpress.stackexchange.com/faq – Wyck Oct 19 '12 at 19:51
@wyck You posted a link to the faq's? I was asking about user generated photo walls. – Rick Smith Oct 19 '12 at 20:31
Yes part of the faq says, we do not handle questions: asking for recommendations for plugins, themes, books or hosting services. – Wyck Oct 20 '12 at 0:55

You could achieve this with nextgen gallery and the nextgen public uploader http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-public-uploader/

An answer should be more than just a link to an external site. Please add a solution. – kaiser Oct 19 '12 at 20:27
@mirage - I've seen that plug in, but not sure what to do once I've installed it. – Rick Smith Oct 19 '12 at 20:30
The best explanation is probably the website of the developer webdevstudios.com/plugin/nextgen-public-uploader Once you have installed nextgen gallery and the public uploader you will have a shortcode for the upload field [ngg_uploader id=1] (the id is the id of your gallery, each nextgen gallery has their own id) This will result in an upload field for the visitor. The shortcode [ngg_gallery id=1] will display the gallery itself. You have the option to moderate uploaded photos or to allow them by default. – mirage Oct 20 '12 at 0:00

Create a page and allow comments. Add a upload form and save the image as comment meta. The images can displayed as comment content (with or without additional text).

Hook into the comment form, add a file upload (<input>-tag type file). Hook into comment save action and grab the file name and path (save both during upload process, eg copy to the $_POST array), save them as comment meta. Do not forget to validate and sanitize the uploaded data!

A simple way to create nice a flash upload form is to use uploadify (jQuery plugin)
