You will need to install and read up on the following modules: Media, Five Star, Taxonomy and Views. This can all be done in Drupal, but it will take a lot of reading and watching tutorials on your part to make it happen.

Thank you for your answer.

I just install all the modules.

Could you be a little bit more in your explanation? I don't really understand what must I do !? What are the the main steps ?

Thank you very much

In drupal, installing the modules only gives you the functionality to build the features you need by yourself. It's not like you'll get a fully working multimedia system just by installing the media module, it's like playing lego: buying new pieces won't build your toy, you have to do it yourself.
Each module has it's peculiarity. You must dedicate time and heart to each of them. The advantages of doing it this way? total control.
If the tutorials around the internet aren't enough for you, remember that you can get excelent training videos in places like lynda.com.

Happy Drupaling! The learning curve is kind of hard, but once you get it, you'll realize why this is one of the most powerful CMS out there!

  1. Create a content type for 'image'
  2. add a core image field to it
  3. create taxonomy vocabularies for your categories
  4. add term reference fields for those vocabularies to your image content type
  5. configure the fivestar ratings for that content type
  6. use the views module to create various listings or custom searches for your images (optional)

imo, you don't need the behemoth media modules for this.

he needs video support... getting the thumbnails and stuff would be easier with the media module...

ah, i missed it the video req. If it were me, i'd use the video module but i tend to shy away from the larger all encompassing modules.

Hi isfr,

Can you please post the last 4 or 5 tutorials on the modules you are using to create this project? I want to make sure you are reading the right information as you do all the research necessary to pull this off. Based on your reading and trying things, do you have any specific questions?
