I am in the initial stages of developing an online community. It is a mix of Social Network/ Video Site/ Magazine/ Online store. After a couple months of researching available scripts both free and private, I havent come up with exactly the right script. I'm hoping someone on here can point me in the right direction or suggest a solution. I'm concerned with creating a custom solution from the ground up since I want to have this site launched in a reasonable amount of time with minimal bugs and cut development cost, but since I have unique needs I may have to go that route. So ultimately my questions are do you know of any platforms already developed that may suit my needs? Should I go with a hybrid of existing software and customization or develop from ground up? I am open to any and all suggestions. If you would like to offer me a proposal for development please contact me through my personal email which is open to members. I am also open to a paid development/ partnership arrangement. However I do already have a front end designer in place.

The key features that I am looking for are:

Fully customizable front end design

Members profile: 2 profile options (expert/member), ability for members to customize and upload limited images, audio files, video and event calendar, link to members store items, personal blog, import profile from other sites, email

Groups: w/ moderators

Video and podcasts: channels, branded video player for on site upload, ability to import from other video sites (YouTube). Live streaming video. Pay to view (like OnDemand), Strategic video ad placement. Designed for future TV marketplace.

Events: ability to invite all friends easily, sign up and pay for event online with individual ticketing/ access codes

E-seminar with interactive chat rooms/ video chat to multiple authorized users.

Ecommerce store for digital and hard goods. Some products managed individually by members. Commission based. Ability to easily integrate links from store to member profile.

Classifieds

Moderator access for sections of site

Ad revenue share for designated users

Ability for admin to email all members

Ability to support heavy traffic


Sorry this is so long, wanted to be clear on my needs
Thanks!

You really need a programer to make it custom!

I have to agree with jgeorgiou. There won't be a premade script with all these features. If you want, I can move your thread to the "Job Offers" section, so you can get some quotes.

Thanks! Yes, please move me over to job offers.

Programmers please note that I would like to customize a script if at all possible to cut time and costs. When responding, please suggest a script you would start with or explain why you would not like to use a script...

Some of the scripts I have been looking at are:
