Our company now has over 40 tutorial videos and I'm looking for a video gallery app.
Something that would be similar to:

or
http://umbraco.org/documentation/videos/for-site-builders/datatypes/using-datatypes-that-have-prevalues
Does anyone know of any PHP or asp.net solutions?
I'd rather not re-invent the wheel.
As there are a ton of hidden functions like sorting, most popular, tagging, comments, etc.
I would suggest to use any popular CMS. For WordPress, here is what you can do. You can use many of it's out of the box features -
each video is created as a blog-post. So u have comments, tags too.
each blog-post will have a custom parameter as video url
while rendering a single post, take this custom parameter and build HTML/embded video object with your flash player.
these blogposts can be moderated my multiple wordpress users
comes with plenty of free themes to choose. Enjoy!
customize the archive page, to have a thumbnail like gallery page.
use a ratings plugin to rate blog-posts.
For now onwards, start thinking of customizing a CMS rather reinventing :)

I have a Google Sheets spreadsheet containing a list of links and resources pertaining to a particular topic. I want to create a WordPress page where I ask the user a branching series of questions (i.e. "which topics are you interested in?") And depending on the answers to those questions, display only the links that are relevant to them.
I am a newbie when it comes to WordPress but I do have experience in programming (mostly in Python).
How could I go about doing something like this?
You should inmerse a bit on wordpress development as programmer, i will explain a fast progress for learn it.. read this https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development and this https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress too.
Then when you check some videos for how to create your own template..
Do a CPT [ Custom Post Type ] who's called links of topic or something like, then you can create an "Archive-Topic-Links" (Very important for a wordpress developer [ https://developer.wordpress.org/files/2014/10/wp-hierarchy.png ] which files can you create before or after one) who gonna iterate over all of them.. look at this.. [ https://generatewp.com/post-type/ ] and try to learn about how to use a CMB2 for create inputs in your cpt is it a free version of ACF.
With this you will have a 50% of your proyect then should be learn how to categorize and much more... but when you reach this 50%.. the other will be easy.
Ah, try to don't use much plugins make your code.. and other tip wordpress isn't very friendly for multilanguage
I hope this improve to you, mate and other to start the wordpress development.
If you want to integrate PHP with google spreadsheet, I will use the google api https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/quickstart/php, in this way you can read all rows and integrate with php wordpress
I am in the process of building a website for a DJ. Instead of reinventing the wheel, I thought I would look out there if there are any solution available. My requirements are:
Ability to have own domain name & custom design
Section for listening to DJ's song
Section for photos
Section for videos
Usual CMS functionalities for managing static pages (personal bio)
Self-hosted & PHP is a big plus
Open source/proprietary free/paid doesn't matter
If you answer with a more generic CMS (i.e. WordPress), could you point out some extensions that would be helpful. I'm also open to web apps that don't fill every requirement, but explicit which of the requirements are not available.
Not a 100% match for a DJ, but Indexhibit is very popular among artists in general. I like it personally, and use it whenever I need to set up a simple, minimalistic CMS for a client.
It brings a lot of gallery and image management functions and is relatively easy to extend if you speak PHP. Every page can have a custom background image. No built-in WYSIWYG editor, so text and layout possibilities are very limited - although I find that is often a good thing.
It doesn't come with a built-in music and video playing facility out of the box, which is the biggest minus. The project's forum, however, shows some successful examples of people who managed to build that in. I can't make any estimate on how hard that would be.
Other than that, it does everything you need. The design is customizable through style sheets and page templates; there are various gallery functions; it's self-hosted, and Open Source (but asks for a backlink to be put somewhere on the site).
Drupal
Wordpress
Joomla
Google Search Results:
Play a MP3 / Wordpress plugin
Photo Gallery / Wordpress Plugin
Videos / Wordpress Plugin
if you need to find Drupal or Joomla plugins, replace tghe word 'Wordpress' in the Google Search
All three of these are very customisable
I've been looking at Wordpress plugins for photo galleries (so maybe this is for superuser.com), and I've been very frustrated so far. It seems like what I'd like to do would be a very common use case:
Admin: Be able to upload multiple pictures (at a time)
Admin: Be able to assign a "gallery" to those pictures as I upload them
User: Be able to go to a page with a (paged) list of all galleries
User: Be able to click on gallery and view the images (again, probably paged) in that gallery
User: Be able to click on an image to get larger/largest sizes
User: Be able to leave comments on individual pictures (this is a "nice to have")
The images/galleries could be totally independent of posts/pages, but it would be nice to be able to embed those images/galleries into posts/pages when necessary.
Is there anything out there like this that I'm missing? I've tried a handful of plugins and none of them seem to be for a use case anywhere close to what I'm looking for. One of the reasons I'm trying to use Wordpress is to reduce time spent coding everything I want.
Check out NextGen Gallery. It's a great image gallery plugin for WordPress.
Try taking a look at the this NextGen site for a walkthrough of all it's features.
Here are two other alternatives that look like they may fit what you're looking for (of course, you may have already tried them unsuccessfully):
PhotoSmash Galleries
Post videos and photo galleries
Good Luck!
Tag Gallery may be of interest to you. You can manage your media via tags from the built in Media Library of Wordpress and this plugin builds galleries from your tags. Pretty nifty.
I have two Wordpress blogs. I want to pull the "5 most recent posts" from the first blog with post title, date, and link to post and display this data on the other. I don't know if there is a plugin that does this sort of thing already, but just wondering how I can achieve this.
What you need to use here is an RSS from the first blog and display it using a plugin or something you'd code yourself on the 2nd blog. The reasons for this approach are:
simplicity of implementation
security - functions that pull data from the database in blog 1 are not available to blog 2 (db settings, etc). I'm not sure if wordpress provides some sort of an oAuth API yet to pull this data in a secure way
Something like KB Advanced RSS Widget should do for your case.
This also somewhat depends on where you want the posts from "Blog 2" to display on "Blog 1". For instance, if you want them to display in the sidebar and your theme supports widgets, then WordPress has a built-in RSS widget. You just need to give it the RSS feed for Blog 2. That would probably be the simplest implementation.
Otherwise a plugin of some sort to grab the feed would probably work well, as Artem suggested.
Yes RSS would probably be the best way to do it. Here's a post that goes over a variety of ways to do it.

I just found out about BuddyPress (a collection of plugins that convert a WordPress MU install into a social network) and now I was wondering if there are any Digg-like voting plugins for WordPress. This would eventually integrate into a BuddyPress website, where the site members would submit, vote and comment on stories (much like Digg).
I have a feeling I will end up having to build this from scratch, but since the site will be built on WordPress, I was wondering if there were any plugins already available that add this functionality. So far I have come up empty in my search. I did find a Wordpress blog that had this functionality WpVote. It even creates thumbnails of the story webpage automatically (I'm assuming) using websnapr. I browsed through the page source and didn't seem to find any hints of a WP plugin that they are using.
I've successfully used TDO Mini Forms for user submissions combined with Vote it up to build a digg-style site.
You can create a "top votes" page using the MostVotedAllTime_Widget() function from Vote it up, or use the SortVotes() or GetVoteArray() functions to build and style your own top votes list in a customised page template.
You'll find the full list of available functions in /vote-it-up/votingfunctions.php
BuddyPress Links is what you're looking for:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-links/
Or you can try:
Pligg Voting CMS
when i was start to build my own social bookmarking, i using voteitup plugin but if you want to build your own vote button you can visit bavotasan.com and search post "simple-voting for-wordpress-with-php-and-jquery"
take a look at my own social bookmarking using it : http://nestdev.com
http://prothemedesign.com/themes/nominate-for-wordpress/
is a premium theme I've come across but never used. It's a WP version of Digg and I believe pretty good.
Personally I use Drigg which is a Drupal version of Digg. See it in action here: http://weblinks.myfriendshotel.com Unfortunately, however, WebSnapr have just changed their code so the site is no longer showing thumbanails but hopefully as a 'non-programmer' I'll find a solution soon...
Is this what you're after?
http://www.tevine.com/projects/voteitup/
I think [wpvote][1] use drigg module for drupal. I've just found buddypress plugin which has similiar function like digg social bookmarking. more detail
Not sure if this is still relevant or not but the theme used for WPVote.com has now been released on Pro Theme Design - http://prothemedesign.com/themes/nominate-for-wordpress/
