Hi, I am looking for a BASELINE of stable user friendly modules for a community site.

(I will go through replies, check them out or comment, and come back here).

1.Communication: Private Messages, IM, chatrooms, perhaps webmail.

2. Blogging for users (Photo blogs).

3. Marketplace for services, need some way to recommend/rate services, like LinkedIn (for example babysitters).

4. Integration with other communities like Flickr and youtube.

5. Party invite system.

6. Photo albums: On server and integrated with Picasa, Flickr etc.

Thanks
Olav

Hi there!

I am currently asking the same questions, as I am attempting a similar task.
Definitely check out

http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/60

and

http://groups.drupal.org/voting-systems

if you´re after voting systems. There are quite a few, and I am still not decided which one to use for my German book review site http://www.zehn-beste-buecher.de

1) nodevote
2) userreview and 3) nodereview (both via the voting-api)

You will also need any kind of access control system, so check out for example "organic groups".

There are also quite a few drupal video tutorial sites out there, that explain different modules:

1) http://learn.awakenedvoice.com/
2) http://www.theartlab.net/podcast/howto
and
3) http://www.seoecom.com/cms
is most definitely for you (pictures and taxonomy, youtube etc.).

I hope this is of any help to you.
If nothing helps, do it the hard way and scroll through the several hundred modules on drupal.org like I did and read.

Greetings, drooppi

>privatemsg, ajaxim
I had those two. But I replaced them with Messenger, because ajaxim conflicted with GMap.

I though it was a bit confusing in ajaxim if message were received (I think hey can get lost without warning if somebody logs out).

Also it is better to have "unified messaging".
