We're planning on using Drupal for a closed community collaboration plattform.

It seems like Drupal covers most of our needs, but there is one problem area:
We've played around with the Fivestars Module, it's great, but we would want to be able to set a timeline during which voting is possible and after that, the voting function should be closed for this particular node.

How much custom coding would have to be done to achieve this functionality? Or is there maybe some other module that would fit the task better?

The exact functionality we need:
Create a node, set deadline
Users post and vote submissions (we use node-comments and fivestars for that)
At deadline voting function is closed and winner (node-comments with best votes) announced.

i think you should be able to use the rules module to disable voting on a particular date.

alternatively you could write some code in the 'custom PHP target' field for Fivestar so that it still targets the same node that is being created, but only saves the vote if it before a certain date (pulled from a CCK date field or whatever).

rucx,

Did you ever make any headway with the timeline aspect of this (ie. making voting only available during certain windows of time)?
