Hello all. I hope it is OK to put this post here. I am currently not a ProcessWire user but instead I am looking at switching from Concrete5 to ProcessWire and have a few questions.
My site contains information on hiking trails that is stored in number of related mySQL tables that are not part of the Concrete5 system. Each hike includes a detailed description, a map and a photo gallery with 20 or more images. The site uses a number of jQuery scripts for the photo gallery, trail ratings, a google map showing a gpx track and markers to display photos, etc. I am reading through the ProcessWire documentation but I am not seeing how I can easily recreate my site on ProcessWire. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
Is it possible to link my tables to ProcessWire pages to display the information or does the data need to be moved into the processwire database?
Can you load and call jQuery scripts from a template? I understand that people have written a variety of modules but I do not see all the modules I need. If I can not load and call jQuery scripts in a template is it difficult to create a module? Is there documentation about creating modules?
It looks like images need to be uploaded to your system. I literally have images for over 300 hikes with 20 or more images per hike. Uploading all these images would be an onerous process. Is it possible for templates within the ProcessWire script to use images outside the ProcessWire system?
My guess is the answers to all these questions are obvious if I just know where to look.
Thank you.
