photo contest

Hello,

I'd like to create a small Dolphin contest to rate some photographs.

The idea was:
1) to have a single "shared" public album, where users could upload their photos (not each with their own albums)
2) users vote some photos through the feedback mechanism (like, or 1/5 stars voting)
3) to have the ability to view the albums sorted by popularity

Is it possible? How?

Thank you,

Andrea

Mmmm.... I'm really looking for a solution, but reading and reading, it seems (as @houstonlively says) that "Personal photos belong to a members profile, group photos belong to groups, event photos belong to  events, etc, etc, and NONE of them belong to some general purpose photo system where people can view them OUT of the context in which they were intended to be viewed."

Perhaps I have to create a new specific group and let members join this group, add their personal photos and let vote some of them with 1/5 stars (hoping at the end to display the "group Album" order by popularity).

...Or not? :(

There are some contest modules in the market you might want to take a look.  Modzzz has some, and AntonLV.  Modzzz combined his contest modules into one single module.

I've done a fast research in Boonex market... but it seems there are some dated addons.

More than the contest feature, first I'm finding a way for different users to post their photos in a same Album (and show this album order by popularity).

The closest module to what you are looking for is https://www.boonex.com/m/contests

Hi @Modzzz,
thank you, I'll check it for more details (P.S. please, give me an answer to my last PM as soon as possible, it's important and I'm waiting for it for a long time).

I found a simple way, but I need a little help in the last part.

Imagine that you want to make a contest about CodeWeek photographs from local schools.

1) each teacher (standard user) adds pictures in a new personal album called "CodeWeek2016"

2) change each photograph by placing a description, tags and the category = "Coding - CodeWEEK2016" (specially created by Admin)

3) all teachers (each standard user) can select "Photos / Categories" and choose the category "Coding - CodeWEEK2016" to display all photos uploaded relative to this contest, so he can display each photo and vote for those who prefer (1 to 5 stars).

Now it seems there's a little bug: I can not view photos of that category ordering by votes (rating).
 

If I choose "Photos / Categories" and "order by: Popular" I have no sorting order. I get the same result that "order by: None" or "order by: Recent (and I think also that "Popular" should displays ordering by "how many times a photo is displayed" and not ordered by rating).
 

Is there a workaround using an URL with a sorting parameter?
 

For example:

http://yourdomain/m/photos/browse/category/Coding% 20-% 20CodeWEEK2016  
can also accept a parameter to sort by popularity or rating?
 

Or better:

http://yourdomain/m/photos/rate    
can also accept a parameter like "category=Coding% 20-% 20CodeWEEK2016" ?
