Hi, all. Is it possible to create Drupal based gallery with next features list:

1. Recent photos block
2. Most popular photos block
3. Random photos block
4. Categories
5. Filtering #1-#3 by day, by week, by month etc.
6. Photo Comments
7. User tags, user favorite photos
8. Albums

I tested Photos and Gallery2 modules and got no luck. Any ideas how this can be done?
Or maybe wich module(s) can be easily modified to get this work?

⋅ Categories: Drupal 6.x

I too would like the functionality you describe and would be very interested in the advice.

I usually do this by creating my own gallery with cck, imagefield, and views. For a helpful screencast on how to do this see Creating Multiple Maintainable Image Galleries. It's for d5 so things look a bit different, but the concepts are the same.

I agree that this can be accomplished with CCK, imagefield, and views.

1. Recent photos block
2. Most popular photos block
3. Random photos block
4. Categories
5. Filtering #1-#3 by day, by week, by month etc.
6. Photo Comments
7. User tags, user favorite photos
8. Albums

Views can accomplish #1, #2, #3, #5.
Taxonomy can be used for #4, #7 (user tags) and #8.
You can also create a new content type for albums instead of using taxonomy.
For #6 just create a content type and allow comments.
Use the Flag module for marking favorite photos.
