Thread: Splitting up the listing process in to various stages

Splitting up the listing process in to various stages

I'm just trying to find out some possibilities of splitting up the listing process in to various key stages, or tabs, as follows:

- Google Map location (not taken from poster's profile because it's an accommodation site):
Note: they would also then have a field where they could describe the area/region etc

- Custom Fields:
Note: A series of pre-defined custom fields

- Photos:
Note: They would be able to upload photos and add titles and descriptions, these would need to have character limits for each field

- Custom taxonomies:
Note: They would be presented with a selection of tick boxes for each taxonomy group

I was reading the following post on Smashing about Advanced Layout Techniques. It shows how to turn a series of content areas into more easily digestible tabbed sections for the user:

It got me thinking that if it's possible to do this, then it 'might' be possible to group various aspects of the listing in to tabbed groups, which
in turn could be grouped in to tabs on the front end too.

I realise this doesn't come as standard with CP but wondered if it is at all possible and if so then what are the pitfalls, if any?
