Drupal multiple steps way to add an article - drupal

I would like the member/visitor of my website to be able to create article about themselves. Instead of using the normal way which is "Content - Add Custom Article" and fill up everything in the lengthy way. I prefer to let them do it in a multiple steps way (just like check-out process in Amazon).
i would like to create a multiple steps form that consists of 3 steps to create a content page. The first step needs to be able to allow users to upload multiple images in 1 shot and display the thumbnails in a gallery below it. The gallery needs to allow re-arrangement(re-ordering), cropping and resizing.
The layout is something like this
#
Step 1 of 3 - Tell us about your detail
Name :
Your Photos :
Next Step
#
Please give some suggestion on the modules that I can use to achieve this kind of design.
Thanks!

This might be useful.
Media gallery module also might be useful though it is still in beta.
As for the multistep process for saving articles, it seems to be pretty straightforward way of storing the information as user goes from one step to another and saving the entity when the final step is complete.

How to create a pattern for multiple similar pages in Wordpress?

I am making a travel website and will therefore have to create several trip pages like this one : https://ready-japan.com/ninja-adventure/
I want to find a way to have a "pattern page" for all trips, where I would just fill out the trip info from the admin panel for each trip. That would not only help me make new pages more quickly, but also allow me to modify all pages at once if I need to, rather than having to change them one by one everytime I want to add a section.
I am using an up-to-date version of Wordpress.
I tried using various travel plugins, but it wasn't very satisfactory as I can't edit the page however I want.
I also thought of using templates, but I couldn't figure out how to make templates with parts that are editable from the admin panel.
To sum it up, I want to have a general pattern and trip info for each trip being modifiable independently.
I am open to whether using a plugin or meddling with the wordpress files (as long as it's not too technical).
Any help will be appreciated.
I would suggest a page builder like Elementor or Beaver. I, personally, use Elementor...

Drupal - Newbie - Need some help in finding content

It seems a very simple job but really been tough to perform.
All i need is to edit a content but i cannot find it inside the cms which says "Commerce Kickstart"
The page address of the content is like this:
https://website.com/abc/def-ghi
When i select Content>Manage Content from the top header bar (after logging in as admin the top bar appears) then it shows lots of pages to edit but i couldn't find that particular text inside any of them.
So i decided to download the mysql db and search for the text using notepad++ but i found several instances and i guess its all from some cache table.
I put so many hours on finding this easiest task but failed.
Any advices?
Thanks!
Do the pages have content within them?
When you are on the Content Overview page just click on edit and see if there is anything in them.
From what I can infer you are using Commerce Kickstart and this probably implies that you might need to edit the product instead. Just answering from the top of my head.

WordPress - add Database driven tables

I'm just trying to move one of my old php sites to wordpress. As part of the site I have 'top tables' e.g. top 10 cars, listing their features etc. At the moment that all comes from a database and the HTML is generated from the data.
So if a car soon gets a hybrid engine I just check that in the database and my web site table updates to reflect that.
This all works fine. I just don't know where to start when trying to implement something like this in wordpress. I want to keep the WP header, footer, nav... and put my table in to the content area.
Someone recommended simply copying the current generated HTML in to a new post and editing the HTML when anything changes, this sounds like a quick solution but there must be a better way of doing this.
Ideally I would want to keep my current data input pages (and separate database) for all of this 'table data' and present the out put as a post.
If anyone can point me in the right direction (key words I should search for, a guide) that would be great.
Depending on your usecase, you'll usually want to use a static page template:

Or shortcodes:

Drupal 6, giving user ability to create microsites

I built a website that allows a user to create event pages with schedules etc... But now I want to give more options which can be used to build more of a minisite or microsite. So along with the usual options of adding a gallery, description etc.. I want them to be able to add a sub menu, and a custom background. I think the background is easy. However, for the submenu I don't really want to give access to the menu options. I would like to still use nice menu though.
I would love some suggestions as to the best way of adding these features while making it really intuitive for the users. Something like a Microsite node that allows everything to be set on one page perhaps?
Have you looked at Open Atrium? http://openatrium.com/
This is a Drupal distribution that lets you create microsites.

How Can Wordpress Easily Provide A Voting and Commenting View For 5 Page Layout Possibilities?

Right now, when I create a media item, I can view it as admin by going through the Media then clicking on view, eventually I end up at [mysite]/blog/?attachment_id=31 which is a nice reduced version of the image (which can be clicked to appear large), and which has the nice feature that there is a place to leave comments at the bottom.
This is great for administrators. But I want anonymous users to be able to look at 5 different, fairly similar images, and make comments on the pages separately. So I'd like for the anonymous users who navigate to [mysite]/blog/?attachment_id=31 to find the same page the way it looks to admins.
But when going to that URL as an anonymous user instead of the image with comment form I get:
Sorry, no posts matched your criteria
So, how can I enable this permission for anonymous users?
If this is not possible, please rephrase the question as, "What is the best way to use Wordpress to get a bunch of anonymous people to vote on 5 different layouts and also to be able to comment on each of them separately, as I am trying to do at http://christian-filipina.com/blog/ ? (None of these are public URLs, please don't link to them.)
Do I need to create a page for each of those separate layouts and then use HTML to link to the variously-sized versions of the images?
When adding an image to the post make sure that "attachment page" is checked instead of "image file" This should fix your problem. See: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Image_and_File_Attachments
