Wordpress website like this - how?

I would like to create a website similar to this one http://www.outdoor-photos.com/ in Wordpress.

Some requirements:
- user after registration can submit photos with some basic description and tags
- photos are published after administrator approves them
- all visitors can vote on photos they like
- posts are sorted by date but you can see top xx highest rated or by single author

Question: Is it possible to achieve in Wordpess without custom coding? I am a beginner in that area. Any recommendations how to do it?

Thanks

I just made a similar website in Wordpress for myself, the videos are just posts with custom fields to add the YoutubeID, what i did is adding 2 custom fields in my index.php, single.php, search.php, archive.php with URL and Thumb.

And i'm using the postrating/pagenavi plugins from Lester Chan.

More info here: http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming/php/#wp-postratings http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming/php/#wp-pagenavi

You can use the functions to add those fields in your theme:

<?php $values = get_post_custom_values("url"); echo $values[0]; ?>

<?php $values = get_post_custom_values("thumbs"); echo $values[0]; ?>

But i used the custom fields, because i don't need to embed the videos in the texteditor, these are automatically loaded in a video lightbox with SWF object. You only need images. So i think you can also let the users add the image just in the content field itself in the Dashboard. I'm didnt need to store the video files on my website, i just stream it.

After that you can Add a Post in the Dashboard and below you see Custom Fields just type in URL and Thumb after doing that once you can select those fields every time you add a post.

And then you can set the default registration role to Contributor, posts added by the Contributor need to be Moderated by the Admin before publishing.

Here are some themes for a photoblog:

  <!-- CONTENT -->
  <div id="content">
    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class="item" onmouseover="this.className='item2'" onmouseout="this.className='item'">
      <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
        <?php the_title(); ?>
        </a></h2>
      <p><a class="ceebox" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<?php $values = get_post_custom_values("url"); echo $values[0]; ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" target="_blank"> <img class="video-thumb" src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/<?php $values = get_post_custom_values("thumbs"); echo $values[0]; ?>/0.jpg" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a></p>
      <div class="comment-bottom">
        Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <a title="<?php comments_number('no comments','1 comment','% comments'); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php comments_number('no comments','1 comment','% comments'); ?></a></div>
      <div class="clear"></div>
      <?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?>
    </div>
    <!-- Item Div -->
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    <div class="clear"></div>
 
    <?php endif; ?>
