Hi
I need to add quickly a public photoblog to my existing Drupal site. It's got to be 'public' and 'mobile', which means everybody can post, and they can do it via e-mail. Posts emailed by non-registered users should remain pending moderation. I'd also like to have some sort of taxonomy (nested, if possible, so I can use tagadelic and apply a specific theme to the photoblog nodes)
Given the above requirements, can somebody recommend the best solution in Drupal 5.x? I have experimented with some modules, but it's quite difficult to know how to mix them. There is also a 'photoblog' module (does not seem to support email postings) and a 'mobile media blog' module (lacks documentation, so I haven't found what does it add to mailhandler and mailsave features)
Thanks in advance for your quick replies.

Am not aware of a module that does this.
Would generally recommend against this (email postings) rather than just having anonymous users upload. You are likely to spend a whole bunch of time combatting spam abuse of this, unless you either a. equire users to register in order to post photos or b. require all photo submitted content to be approved before it appears on your site.
I know that it's probably not what you wanted to hear, but you probably are not going to be able to piece together email image submission "quickly". I think it will require some significant custom coding.

Thanks for your reply. Actually, I have found it can be done with image+mailhandler+mailsave and giving anonymous users permission to create image nodes. Mailhandler must be set up to hold content as unpublished until it is approved.
You are right, however, concerning the burden of approval. Nevertheless, this is a blog for a temporary event, and the Akismet module can also help.
