*** UPDATE ***
I think that wp-signup.php can handle what I need to do. I have managed to get this "Add New Site" registration working (with only 3 super-simple mods to the code) so it allows non-users (any visitor to the website) to register a new site (without user registration) and have the site is active immediately. And it was much simpler than I expected.
I'm pretty sure all the code needed is already in wp-signup.php (and/or site-new.php). I now need someone to .....
- rewrite some of the conditional calls (which are I've needed to change to get this working)
-
- modify the preg_replace to allow _underscores in sitename
* I am not modifying the core code. I have copied the wp-signup.php code into the theme as a page template.
I need an "Add a New Site" method on the frontend/homepage that allows non-users to add a site to the network.
- Allows any frontend visitors to "add a new site" to the network
- Visitors will not be users and will not be logged in
- It DOES NOT add any new users to the network (it only adds the site)
- New site needs to be active immediately
- A single form field would be ideal
- Must be a secure solution
- Must not be a core file hack
Basically I need a frontend version of the backend method "Add New Site" ["wp-admin > Network > Sites >Add New"] where new blogs are active immediately and without creating a new user (when email address already exists in DB, no user is created).
This network is a "read-only" environment (with no user publishing/editing/anything). There will only ever be 1 user (me, as Super Admin). Once the new site is added to the network (from the frontend) the theme will do some content generation. I just need to get the new blog added.
My Ideas
- I'm open to any idea that solves the problem
- wp-signup.php could be modified (as a page template)
- site-new.php basically does what I need, but conditional to logged-in users + sufficient privileges
- I have a Gravity Forms developers licence, and the User Registration add-on, but I don't know that this will help
Considerations
- I want to keep things as simple as possible
- User registration will disabled
- Security is important

hi, here is a modified code from
http://www.scribd.com/doc/76015425/279/Creating-a-New-Site
I changed this into a shortcode so you can embed this into any page on your frontend:
<![CDATA[[create_site]
]]>
The following assumes you are using multisite with subdirectories and the owner of the new sites is user_id=1:
<![CDATA[
add_shortcode( 'create_site', 'custom_multisite_create_site' );
function custom_multisite_create_site($atts) {
//check if multisite is enabled
if ( is_multisite() ) {
//if the form was submitted lets process it
if ( isset( $_POST['create_site'] ) ) {
//populate the variables based on form values
$domain = esc_html( $_POST['domain'] );
$path = esc_html( $_POST['path'] );
$title = esc_html( $_POST['title'] );
$path=str_replace("/","",$path);
$path="/".$path;
//verify the required values are set
if ( $domain && $path && $title ) {
//create the new site in WordPress
$new_site = wpmu_create_blog( $domain, $path, $title, 1 );
//if successfully display a message
if ( $new_site ) {
echo '<div class="updated">New site ' .$new_site. ' created successfully!</div>';
}
//if required values are not set display an error
} else {
echo '<div class="error">New site could not be created. Required fields are missing</div>';
}
}
?>
<div class="wrap">
<h2>Create New Site</h2>
<form method="post">
<TABLE class="w3-table w3-striped w3-bordered w3-border w3-white" class="form-table">
<tr valign="top">
<th scope="row"><label for="fname">Domain</label></th>
<td><input maxlength="45" size="25" name="domain" value="<?php echo DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE; ?>" /></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<th scope="row"><label for="fname">Path</label></th>
<td><input maxlength="45" size="10" name="path" /></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<th scope="row"><label for="fname">Title</label></th>
<td><input maxlength="45" size="25" name="title" /></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>
<input type="submit" name="create_site" value="Create Site" class="button-primary" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</div>
<?php
} else {
echo '<p>Multisite is not enabled</p>';
}
}
]]>

I've been working on similar projects and always keeping my eyes open for new methods. I seem to recall a plugin on wpmudev that did this fairly well and I can't seem to find it now.. I'm looking forward to seeing what answers others will have..

Gravity forms should be able to handle what you are looking for. It already has the site creation part built in to the forms, so I believe you should be able to create a from that will go through the process like normal, and then you can customize it to 'not register' the user with the hooks (http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/User_Registration_Add-on_Developer_Docs).
My thought though, for an even easier solution, is that you do a gravity form for new site creation, and for the required fields for the user registration part (name, username, email, password... ) you simply put those fields as 'hidden' and put in your own information as the default values. <- I'd be happy to help if you want that put in.
