I'm trying to figure out whether wordpress can handle the following requirements for a site:
incorporating yahoo weather api (and other widgets etc)
testimonial page (user inputs, which have to be moderated back-end and approved)
image gallery (with back-end manager)
video gallery (basically youtube video links - with backend manager)
extremely custom design
I know WP is powerful, but can it handle these requirements? How easy/difficult is it to integrate plugins to handle this functionality?
Thanks.
PS. I know this is not a programming question per se, but there are several such "capabilities" questions on the stack!
Yes WordPress would allow you to do all of the above.
You would have to implement this yourself as a plugin. There maybe a plugin already available. This link should help you get started, http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/2010/03/yahoo-weather-api/
The commenting system would easily allow you to do this
There are heaps of galleries, try nextgen gallery, works great.
You could easily provide an admin panel which would allow users to paste the youtube video code in. See the WP docs. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_options_page and http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Menus
WP allows custom themes and they are fairly easy to construct with a little programming knowledge. Simply searching on Google will find you a abundance of walk through tutorials.

I have been asked so often for custom CMS functionality where the end-user wants to manage his content by his hands using a control panel or something.
A college professor wanted to manage his online magazine issues and papers, a manager wanted to upload and manage news and photos about his firm. and so on
In this case the client doesn't have any technical knowledge about Wordpress or Joomla or Drupal and he needs a customized solution that fits his needs.
The content strucure is different in each case, and sometimes end-users can be involved to register/log-in to the site and manage their own submitted data. so each registered user manages his own content.
I managed that requirement differently each time and i wonder if i can have a better solution in the future.
In other words, I want for a solution where i can tailor the CMS for the customer according to his requirements.
I heard that Drupal is a good choice since it is more a content management framework and less a CMS, i wonder also about Wordpress and Joomla since they're both obviously easier to learn and work with. do i have to build a customized control panel for each client every time?
Any suggestions?
K2 for joomla supports front-end editing and each user edits his own content.

On one of my websites, the editor and subscriber have access to Dashboard, Profile and Plugins. This is really strange. There is no access to anything else - pages, posts etc.
Have tried re-installing wordpress and makes no difference.
Not using any user access plugins
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You should test the capabilities of your users and re structure them accordingly. Have a look at The Codex to get a list of capabilities for editors and subscribers.
If you want to use plugins, you can find some that will allow you to edit the capabilities.
else you can then use get_role(), add_cap() and remove_cap() to correct their capabilities.
You should switch to a standard theme such as twenty twelve and see if it woks properly, of it does the problem is your theme and you should contact the theme author.

I currently have a blog at blogger.com with a custom domain name. I have decided to manage my own blog using wordpress to be able to fully take advantage of all the cool wordpress plugins. Note that I am moving my domain as well. I won't be purchasing a new one.
I experimented a bit and found out that I can replicate the blogger URLs on my old blog and use the same on my new wordpress blog. For example, a Blogger URL for an article would look something like mydomain.com/this-is-my-title.htm. Wordpress url can also be manipulated to look exactly like that.
But still, as a precaution, I want to know if this move can still affect my ranking on search engines (not that there's much to speak of) in a negative way.
Noob with SEO stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
If you do complete replication of all URLs it should not be affected at all. For the URL's that you can't mimic but you know they are indexed - set up your server to fall back to the main page of your blog.

I'm making a site for a friend (artist). He wishes to have a gallery. The requirements are as follows:
Allow users to comment:
Registered user - Comment normally.
Unregistered user - reCaptcha comment + link to registration (which should also have reCaptcha, but that's another story).
Galleries should have categories, and each category should have a page of its own, visible in the menu (or a specially constructed categorylist-page.php).
Ability to moderate comments and spam.
I've though of 2 possible things:
Each image should be a static page, which will be a child of its categorizing page.
Pros: Uses native wordpress abilities. Easy moderation through admin panel.
Cons: Possibly add complexity for the administrator (who is not a programmer)
Try to find a plugin to do the job, but so far I haven't found one which answers the requirements above.
I was hoping to get a nudge in the right direction, I'm no wordpress expert.
Thanks in advance.
I think the first approach is best, assuming that you want visitors to comment on individual artworks, and not just general gallery comments.
You might be able to get away with just using Posts and setting the Featured Image, but if you find yourself wanting more flexibility, custom fields, and possibly custom post types and taxonomies, definitely check out MagicFields
As for the commenting/spam prevention requirements, I wouldn't require users to create an account, unless they are already raving fans of your friend's artwork. Instead, I'd:
Pay for an Akismet key, or
Use Disqus, IntenseDebate, or Facebook Comments

I am developing a travels related website using cakephp. I have to put some tour itinerary/special vacation campaign etc. on it almost everyday. The template/format remain the same, just the content changes. So, I am guessing that I can use some content management system like Wordpress/Joomla here.
Till now I had been working mainly on static pages only, but from now I will work on including search functions, forums, members area, polls, etc. in the website.
Can somebody tell me if switching to these CMS technologies is a good idea?
Regards
Joomla would be apt for you. Because Its going to be something like a website. Hence you can choose joomla, also there are lot of joomla templates available, you can customise to your needs.
Wordpress would not be right for you since its a blogging tool. Unless until you need blogging functionality you need not have wordpress.
There is also something like drupal,

Yes, it is really a good idea. Using already built CMS saves time and increases the customization. For Wordpress, there are thousands of plugin which can transform WP into a CMS.
Also, security will be good if a CMS is used. You will get regular updates for stability.
