I need to build a content (in my case video) contest site site where people can register, embed a YouTube or Google video (others supported by the Video module), and allow contestants to selected one of 6 categories (entered as taxonomies). Think film festival, photo contest, music awards.
This project will probably be in the form of a new module that uses the Voting API, allows one (or ultimately for contribution back to the community, a definable number of votes) per user. Contest results should be viewable as reports section, listed in highest to lowest number of vote, and viewable by taxonomy (from what I understand this is probably done with a custom exported View code but I could be wrong). It will need to have views customizable so that random entries are show in taxonomy views, but this can probably be done with a custom View or Contemplate. For maximum flexibility, administrators of the contest module should be able to choose between: 1) number of votes allowed per user sitewide or 2)number of votes allowed per user per category for the contributed version, but for my project I need to allow one vote per user per category/taxonomy. I need to have registered users to vote for one video per taxonomy. For voting I tried using the Voting API and Plus 1 but there is a little more functionality I need.
The site is already built/installed, the theme is almost done (I will finish it). It is in Drupal 6. I am using the Video and CCK modules for users to submit content, and have it working fine.
Please contact me with an estimate. I need the module ready by June 29th, 2009, 10am Pacific Time. I can help with testing.
