Howdy all,

I'm installing my first real drupal system (still getting there), and one of the features I'd love to implement is the facility to host a competition for my members to place a caption to an image. Basically, what I'm looking for is ..

  • Admin (or specific group) to create a new competition, where they select the image.
  • Registered Users (or whatever groups) are able to enter their own caption under the image.
  • Registered Users (or whatever groups) can use the 5star module (??) to rank how good other captions are (cant self vote?).
  • Captions are sorted by entry, not popularity.
  • Competitions have a life-cycle, and at the end, the captions are sorted by popularity to show a winner.
      • I'm sure there is other potential there, but these are the core features I'm looking for.

      Whilst I can't find a module that does that, is it possible to create such from the pre-existing modules and sew something together?

      Any advice here?

I'm wandering through the content types at the moment .. is it perhaps possible to create a content type called "Caption" that allows me to create the base page (with the image in it), and then allows the 5star rating to be placed against the comments rather than the base page itself?

/me continues to poke

edit: hmm, i wonder if this is possible using views and cck .. i feel like it is, but i don't actually know .. more tutorial time me thinks

You could always have a look at http://drupal.org/project/competition. It does most of this.
