Dog rescue UK chairty - can we......... Topic is solved

[chaosnet]

Hi there one and all.

I run a dog rescue website here in the UK, website link, and due to the number of applications now have running on it that all require a login, i was wondering if Joomla would be suitable and allow all applications to be accessed with one login.

I currently have for general members:

1. A phpbb forum
2. An extension to the forum to allow members to upload their photos to our sever (require seperate login although uses the same phpbb username and password etc.) which doesn't always work.
3. A Phpix photo rating system to allow members to upload their dogs photos for voting on. (seperate database and login)

Can these be integrated and if not, are there other products that the databases could be pulled into?

We also use a photo gallery software from comdev, product link, for the listing of dogs that need rehoming. This only requires an admin login so that the site admins can upload and edit the details and photos of the dogs in need of rescue. Once placed we get a default gallery that follows through to individual photo / dogs page details. Is this product able to integrate with Joomla or is there a product available that I could transfer the database into?

I'd also like to be able to offer each member once joined a blog they can use as they wish.

Appologies if all these are really basic questions, but i can't seem to find answers to most of them, and as this is my first try with a cms product and as we have a large member database, I'd rather get it right first time.

Thanks in advance
