Can Concrete5 help me?
PermalinkThe users will post info about different places in the city. Choosing a country, a city, entering the place name, a description, address, URL, locating it in Google maps, uploading a photo/s.
Then the anonymous visitors of the site should be able to make a good search through the posts, for example find me all the posts that talk about restaurants in Paris/France.
What do you think? Concrete5 can achieve that?
Thanks in advance.
Now, you could build a custom package that provides a front-end interface to those users to enter such data, and if this is one feature in a larger site that is primarily information-oriented, than C5 might make sense. But if the site is only for accomplishing that one task, you're probably better of not using a CMS at all but rather a framework of some kind and building it out custom.
If you're a programmer, this shouldn't be a problem. If you're not a programmer, than unfortunately I don't think it's going to be possible to do what you want in the perfect way -- you might want to look to something more like a messageboard or forum though, perhaps vBulletin or phpBB.

Some of you say yes without a doubt and one says no :-( Who is right?
Maybe it can be done but doing a lot of hacking.
That being said, no you can't build what you're talking about with just addons and no coding today. That should spark a lot of add on developers minds who are reading this, but in the meantime you're looking at a couple of weeks of dev time. You should consider posting to our free job board:
