Is drupal suitable for my needs?
Hi guys, im actually choosing the CMS i'll use for the restyling of my company web site...
The site will be structured like:
- Main page (example.com/): blog-style, last 10 articles (in drupal, blog entry)
- Section pages (example.com/foo, example.com/foo/bar): pages raraely edited (page node)
- Estimate page: a page where i dhave to insert my custom php and js codes, to generate the estimates.
In addittion, most pages should have 3 slideshow in the bottom of the header, and here comes my troubles.
Actually i dont mind if the image galleryes will be stored on our server or on a image service (such flickr or picasa), both solution are good.
In the 'Section Pages', the slideshows are simple: images with the same tag, set, etc; For test i've created a flickr set named 'foo' and display it in the example.com/foo/* pages. It works, and can be the solution for the 'Section Pages'.
The problem come with the Main page: in the slideshow i should show the last images attached to the blog entryes.
If we choose to use flickr or similar to handle our gallery, it will be nice if the image attached to a blog entry will be automatically uploaded on flickr too.
So, will i be able to configure a website with those needes with drupal and his existing modules, or i will have to develop my custom module?
I do know php, mysql, postgresql, css and javascript, but this is my first approach to a CMS.
Please, help me in this choice!
Totally
This has drupal all over it.
Your latest blog entry picture should be little trouble with a View, though you may find it most convenient to use drupal's image handling.

Thanks for the answer.. so,
Thanks for the answer.. so, what modules you think should fulfill my needs?
I have installed Views, ImageField and others..
The 'static' slideshow are resolved by the slideshowcs module, but this cant works with the 'dynamic slideshow' in home page, becose seem that when you configure the block it 'save' the images in the folder, if you add new images are ignored.
My need is to have multiple image fields in the Add Blog Entry page, and that images must be showed in the blog node and in the home page slideshow (the last $n inserted)

Ok, i figuret out how to do it, simply using the Views and Image Attach module.
I just ordered 2 books on drupal, to learn how to use it.
