Drupal 6.x

I'm currently considering the possibility of migrating my entire website (www.gamebanshee.com) to Drupal and I'm looking for some input into how much of an undertaking it would be to convert all of the site's webpages, whether or not the site could maintain its existing style and functionality, and what it would cost to hire someone for the project.

To him/her that can help me,

I'm wondering if I can completely customise my drupal website. In optherwords I have a template setup, and I just wnat to use certain aspects of drupal such as the member signup and login - the blog etc etc.

How would i go about doing this?

All help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick.

Hi Guys.

I was doing some maintenance on a few of my sites and while checking the admin watchdog, there was a huge amount of login attempts by the following username:

EPCMFxSzvuRSy

He/she/bot is coming from random IP addresses, so I haven't worked out a way of banning the hacker/bot from my server.

A google search for that username suggests that he/she/bot is targetting Drupal sites.

Is there any API function to get the active/selected language in Drupal 6? There are different ways to negotiate the language in D6 (e.g. url prefix, $user->language, fallback language, ...), but how can I get the active language in a module? Checking $user->language is apparently not sufficient because one can override this with a url prefix (e.g. language switcher block). I couldnt find an API call like i18n_get_lang() (from i18n module) in Drupal 6.

I was fiddling around engaged in the battle to control garland side panels when all all my css driven background-images dissapeared on every page.

I've clearly pressed the wrong button somewhere.

Anyone got any thoughts other than 'what a doddle'/
