Umbraco Experience Required: Will my site be possible using Umbraco modules?
Hi, I am an Umbraco newbie and am liking what I see... I would like to create my new site using Umbraco, however I need experienced users to advise whether my requirements can be implemented.
The basic structure is a directory site, where *logged in* end users will write their own listing on a web form, attach images and submit it all for approval (by me) before I publish. On submitting the form, they will be directed to a checkout to pay for listing on my site. They should have access to an area when logged in, that lets them edit their current listings and re-submit.
I have had some ideas of what can be done from what I have read and seen. Something similar to the Runway Faq module 'submit your Faq' form, which creates an un-pubilshed node, could be used to create the submitted listing page? Could this also add the attached images to the page or media library? I believe 'ImageGen' can be used to auto-resize the images that will be submitted/displayed on the page?
Can you create pages that can only be seen by logged in members and show them content based on that specific member? I was thinking for this I could record the author of the submitted article within the node, then show links to edit the articles where the logged in member matches the author.
Regarding payments, I have seen a video on the Google checkout package and believe it is currently being worked on, could the node only be created on successful receipt of payment?
Does all of this sound do-able? Which add-on packages could I use? (as free as possible!)
Any information would be a great help, Thanks, Andy.

Umbraco uses standard ASP.NET Membership, and permission on a page is configured via the Public Access context menu option.
For any other .NET capabilities you can use standard ASP.NET User Controls either via macros or just embedded in templates.
