Modules for a Movie Review Site

· ·
gamerxgirl - March 8, 2009 - 04:33

I'm looking for module suggestions for a 5.x or 6.x Drupal site that I'm hoping to create which will be focused on movie reviews in a certain genre. The following is what I'm looking for in functionality (that I have not yet found).

  • reviews: submittable and rateable reviews users can vote up or down on reviews that are left by members, and or selectable reviews that users can select
  • ratings: users can submit more than one rating (I'm assuming I'm going to use FiveStar)
  • categories: users can vote for movies to be in certain categories (?)
  • tags: users can select from tags to tag the movie (I'm not sure of how I feel about allowing users to create tags because I don't want anything inappropriate)
  • favorite/worst (or custom) movies lists: I'd like there to be an option in a users profile to create lists, preferably more than one if there is a way.
  • trailers: is there a way to automatically pull trailers off of a site? I know some video sites allow embedding (such as youtube), perhaps there is a protocol that would allow me to do so? (I guess for manual embedding, the Embbeded Media Field module would be suitable)

    Content to be extracted from the web
    In hopes of making my life easier as being the only staff member I'd like some content to be extracted from the web such as movie information. I guess my work is already cut out for me because of the Create from web module.

    Just out of curiosity let me know if you find/know of any similar modules.

    WebForms
    Also, could I have the web forms module tie-into anything? Would it just be a node submission if I wanted a user to suggest a movie (that is not already in the database), or would I have it as a web form that once its submitted it can be turned into an actual entry?

    Thank you in advance :) Your suggestions are most appreciated.

    For reviews and voting: Voting API, Five Star. and Views modules. Watch this screencast: http://www.lullabot.com/videocast/building-views-fivestar-and-votingapi, should get you off to a good start

    You can use taxonomy for the tags

    This should get you started :)

    Thank you for your suggestion, I've visited lullabot before but to be honest I haven't looked too much into the screencasts.

    For 'favorite' functionality see the http://drupal.org/project/flag module.

    I'm not sure i understand your question about the webform module. But in general, the webform module is used for forms that do not store their data in the database. Use the http://drupal.org/project/cck module for forms that create nodes.

    Also, another way to use web content on your site is via feed parsing-- see the http://drupal.org/project/feedapi module.
