I need to build a video contest site. User manolism has described here http://drupal.org/node/275649 a site he built with some custom modules. I do not yet have the ability to write my own module. I need to build a site where people can register, embed a YouTube or Google video, and selected one of 9 categories (entered as taxonomies). For this I am using the Video module, and have it working fine. I need to have registered users to vote for one video per taxonomy. For voting I tried using the Voting API and have experimented with a couple of the voting modules such as vote_up_down, extra_voting_forms, and fivestar but they don't quite do what I need. I thought I could use userpoints to allocate votes, but it appears this module awards points for voting, it does not use points as votes. I need a tally report per taxonomy as well. Can anyone make a suggestion on how I can do this? Is there another combination of modules I can use?
thanks.
