I need a quick run down on what's possible with concrete 5

Permalink
Hello

I am trying to decide what kind of CMS to use for a website i will be working on. I know my way around CSS pretty well and i have doodled with joomla which was a somewhat frustrating experience.

I need to decide on an CMS and i have heard many good things about concrete 5, it looks like between drupal, joomla and concrete5 the c5 should be the fastest and easiest for me to develop on.

However before i start putting hours to the CMS i need to know if a few things are possible to do and how difficult they are to do.

The most critical thing is can the CMS add divs. I have attached a sketch.png which is a roug sketch of the divs on the website. Now everything else is fixed but the boxes in red are something that user should be able to add or remove. They are of fixed size and there should be no more than 4 in a row. How easy this is to implement and from what kind of tutorials should i start?

Thank you in advance!.

you can easily do that with areas and block wrappers,

Can it be done in a drag & drop fashion?.

This might help:

<?php 
  $a = new Area('red content');
  $a->setBlockWrapperStart('<div class="red">');
  $a->setBlockWrapperEnd('</div>');
  $a->display($c); 
?>

Thank you for the tips. I will start developing today. I will be learning css blueprint framework at the same time, are there any known compatibility problems with using a framework?.
