Hi,
I have a client that wants to use Drupal for their website. This will be the first time I have ever used Drupal, and need to know if the following items are doable using it:
1) Multiple homepages - Need the ability to define different homepages for the same site. Each homepage might have different content or layout. Which homepage will be displayed to a visitor will be randomly determined each visit. During the course of a visit (session), the same homepage will be displayed, even if the customer moves from the homepage to another page within the website, then
returns to the homepage.
2) RSS Feeds - Need the ability to use a separate RSS feed for each one of four news columns on the homepage. These RSS feeds would show the top X articles from each feed, and be linked to a subpage on the site which would display the full text of each article when clicked. A nice to have here would be the ability to allow the client to change the RSS feeds used for each column via the admin.
Also, how difficult is it to adapt an XHTML layout to be usable in Drupal? My client will be getting a custom design for the new site, so they won't want to be using any existing Drupal themes that are avaiable.
I have no clue if Drupal can easily handle the above functionality, or if it will be a matter of needing to drastically alter the way Drupal works.
