]I am making a website. It is going to have multiple parts some of which are a blog, a photo album, and a forum. I have looked into WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal, and have not found extensions which meet my needs. I need an integrated system that shares logon information and preferably credentials too, and it has to look integrated. Does anyone have any recommendations for either CMS/Blog software or extensions for a CMS/Blog software that meet my needs (Hopefully Free :) )?

Needs List

Blog

Allow registered users to comment
Some sort of spam/expletive filter (even if it is moderation)


Photo Album

Allow users to upload pictures
Tagging
Registered user commenting
Nice way to display pictures in organized fashion


Forum

Very basic forum functions are all I need


It seems that my main issue is the photo gallery and that is actually the most important component.

Any and all advise would be appreciated.

I am not against Joomla, Drupal, or WordPress, I just haven't found the right extensions.

Thanks.

You could take a look at BoonEx.com (http://www.boonex.com/). They offer Dolphin Community and Orca Forums for free.

Drupal can do all of them. Forums, Blog and Gallery integrated into one with no bridging.

For the gallery you need to install the Acid Free Gallery

You can see a demo here http://www.442rocket.com/gallery He doesn't have the blog section hooked up but the forums are there also.
