Module development and code questions

Hello I am looking for the best mods to make a site like myspace.

This is what I am mainly looking for:
Gallery feature with picture gallery and other features
Video Gallery where there is an actually page for videos alone also i would prefer it if the users could only link videos from other sites like youtube, etc.

Maybe a builtin point system that people can donate points etc.

Groups mod with group forum..

Also anything else that would make it more userfriendly

Last plesae tell me how hard it would be to do all of this thanks

Hello folks.
I am using Drupal to build a weekly magazine website.
I want to develop an "article" node-type, similar to 'story' but
1) with a number of custom fields (the most important one is a field to store a picture associated to each 'article')
2) with a relationship with the forum: each article will generate a topic in a specific forum room.

Hia,

Is there a list anywhere of the objects and methods for Drupal 5? There are some in the API (e.g. for database access) but I can't see where I'd go if I want to find -

E.g. the $user methods - I've seen it in another module, and so have nabbed global $user; $uid = $user->uid; but what other methods does it have, and what other lovely useful objects might there be lurking about? :)

I want to use Node access module (only work in version 4.7) in version 5.x . Anybody know how to do this please help me!
Many thanks

I have a collection of stories and images that share taxonomy terms.

I'd like to be able to select a short list of images (maybe 5) to be displayed in a block -- either vertically in the right sidebar, or perhaps horizontally along the bottom of the body. But I'm having some difficulty imagining what the query will look like that gathers those images.

The criteria I'd use to build the list might include:

Is it possible to send some type of POST or something that automatically pre-selects the correct taxonomy term for a given vocabulary when creating a new node?
