I have a site under development in 5.x. I'm wondering if there is a best-way (as in automated) to do the following:

* User X, with proper role, logs in and goes to create content

* X is going to add an article/review. At the top of the article (as seen by public) is a unique 800x200px image related to the article content.

* The image needs to appear on a main 'article/reviews' page that only shows the 800x200px image posted with each article/review. Each unique image is the link that brings users to the actual article (imagemenu?)

* An alternate image (480x180px) is to show at top of front_page to signal a new article is available. (a block?)

Is there a module or modules that could automate this practice--post article/story/review with image, image automagically is added to the top of the 'articles' main-page, and alternate image is then promoted to the front page in its own block?

I need to turn this site over to others once the development is complete. I prefer not to have to be the person who uploads all their content (cos they do not want to pay for this). Thus, I have to be able to train them to add their content without borking the system.

To help clarify, they are pulling their idea from the following site (which is implemented in Plone)

--Front page showing small article image block at top: Home page

--Main articles page that hosts the image-only menu: Article Menu (newest article at top)

--Example article showing same image from articles main page at top: Sample article

I feel pretty certain that Drupal can handle this, but this is only my third shot at setting up a Drupal community site (one of three concurrent projects), and is more involved than the others concerning the interface.

Thank you for your input,

Bob
