I am evaluating Drupal for a website that is in the design phase. I have a few questions about the appropriate use of Druapl for content and having content that is dynamic and "context aware" for all blocks on a page. Let me provide an example:
Let's say the site is about travel. Content is broken up by State and City. I have several types of content for each State and City.
- Overview and Basic Information about the State or City (Standard HTML pages for each city.)
- Hotels in each City
- Restaurants in each City
- Points of Interest in each City
- Transportation in each City
- Etc.
Then under each of those, such as Restaurants, there would be a list of restaurants. Choosing a specific restaurant would take the user to a page about the restaurant, which provides basic information, review, google map and user reviews / comments.
Hotels would act in a similar manner, but for the content type of Hotels.
Okay, so my questions - please be patient with my "Newbie-ness". Also, I am not looking for free consulting here, just want to know if I'm barking up the right tree.
1) Can Drupal handle the different types of content pages and the related navigation?
2) Are there tools for importing the data into the CMS system?
3) Context Aware Content:
Let's say on the a city page for "San Francisco" I have blocks that list "Hotels on Sale This Weekend" and another block with "Car Rental Sales". Let's say both content types are provided via a web service or syndication from a host, where I need only provide the "City".
