Building a discussion website similar to facebook

Project Description: This project will require the creation of a discussion board website that is similar to facebook. This will require the following from one user group: Login stage: - A password and username to access the site otherwise registration must take place. - The registered members should be able to have their details stored in the database, and the system could include the option once a new user has gone through the registration process and been verified they will receive an email to notify them they have gained entry to the site. Pages: -My account page that will display their profile and allow them to edit their details they entered during registration. -There will be a notification page to display their related activity (i.e. who replied, who tagged you etc) -A private messaging page to show inbox or send a private message. -A support page with a video tutorial and a pdf-instruction manuel. -A contact us page to send to the developer. -A site map page to provide a shortcut to the pages on the site. - A discussion page (this is the important one). Main feature: - Once logged in they can create new threads in the modules they are taking (ones they had previously stated when registering). - A user can reply through various methods e.g. text, video, images etc. - There will be a online feature displaying all users who are online/offline that are taking the same module. - A user can assign or add users to a group in a discussion. - The ability to customise a thread by selecting the time, naming the title and setting the length of a comment, assigning roles to the users - ability to rate another post out of 5 -Posts are in the colour scheme of blue The second user group: (Will include all of the above plus this extra) -different options to select in the registration process -In the private messaging, they can make a message in an inbox and transfer it to a public new thread so that everyone can see if if they see its fit to do so -In discussions, they can nudge a user to make them participate and send them an email automatically -In discussions, they can block a user for 10mins if they break the rules -In discussions, they can invite users to participate in the thread but the invited guest has limited access - In discussions, they can pause the discussion for 2 mins. -In discussions, can delete a post made. -In discussions, they can highlight a post made by user group 1 to put a border around it to outline its importance! -Posts are coloured in green guests: -Limited access to site, only the thread by invitation only -posts in the colour scheme on red (The logo along with the detailed design of web pages will be sent through later on once understanding of the project is met)
