Drupal 7.x

Hi there, Im struggling to find an answer. I have an external database with tables and fields (its in a DB program called Dataease). I would like to import these tables and fields into my drupal site. More specifically I want the tables to become my content types and the fields to be the fields from my database.

I need some advice about setting up file paths in a D7 development site.

I am developing a site locally using Universal Server on Windows. The site has 100's of images and I have content-types with image fields allowing multiple values.

My images are being saved with a URL of http://localhost/sites/default/files/images/[file-name] but what happens when I transfer the site to the live/production server?

What is the best way to manage this please?

Hi community,

I have got a problem with session.

Drupal is installed at this link "mysubdomain.mydomain.com", and I have a php script at this link "mysubdomain.mydomain.com/script". And the problem is simple, I'm using the bootstraping to get the global $user which contains information about the session user.

I'm using this code to get it:

I'm a newbie to Drupal and having trouble loading the CKeditor module. I keep getting this: Notice: Undefined index: loadPlugins in ckeditor_admin_values_to_settings() (line 1156 of /home/content/r/e/d/red513/html/drupal/sites/all/modules/ckeditor/includes/ckeditor.admin.inc).

Can somebody please explain what this means and how to fix the problem?

I have a live non-drupal site at the moment. I'd like to move to Drupal. How can I develop my drupal site while keeping my crappy old site live?

Can I put drupal into a sub directory of my hosting site, get it going there, and then move it down to the root directory, so people go there by default, when it is done? Will the database be a problem?

e.g.

my site could be mysite.com, so I develop the drupal code in mysite.com/devel, then copy everything to "/" when it is ready.

I've untarred 7.4 over the top of my working 7.2 installation. This probably isn't the best thing to do, but in the absence of any documentation on the subject that I could find I thought it wouldn't do any harm.

My install says that it is still 7.2 and the upgrade doesn't appear to work.

Checking for updates halts with a lot of Ajax errors and it returns to a page which says that I need to upgrade to 7.4, so clearly the update mechanism is crewed.

I have a few redrects on the site, which could be confusing it.
