Hello - looking for advice. I have some modest programming background but it's been a very long time since I've coded anything beyond basic HTML or PHP. I am in the concept phase of a site and trying to decide whether to use Drupal or Joomla, or whether it is even something I should try to tackle myself.
Its functionality should be roughly similar to igougo.com's trip planner feature, which I'm assuming is built around shopping-cart like design. In a nutshell, I'm essentially looking for igougo's functionality but its database would be limited to users looking for a specific type of activity.
Here's the basics of what I'd need:
- 5-level "product" hierarchy: continent, country, state, city, item
- need to incorporate GPS coding at city and item levels (to be able to know which items are "near" other items, both in the item database as well as in the "cart"/trip plan)
- support for multiple user photos per item
- support for multiple voting options per item (e.g., be able to vote on things like ambiance, value, price, etc. - may need 10-15 categories)
- ability to rearrange items in the "cart" and add headers like igougo (to be able to schedule certain items on certain days)
- ability to share "cart"/trip plan with other users
- each user can have a trip library ("order history?")
- international language support
- mobile device support
