Drupal 7.x

Need to convert a xoops 2.2.x community site to latest version of drupal.

Content to convert/maintain:
- user info/passwords
- wordpress blog entries (multiple users)/images, comments
- forums content, text and images
- photo gallery, comments

Site: www.hotdogblog.com

Hi,
i tried to start theming with drupal. I have a question.

I have added in my mytheme.info file the initialisation of the new region as shown in the following code:

regions[sepp] = Testregion

now i what to use the regions Variable in my page.tpl.php as shown in the following code:

<div id="test">
      	<?php if ($sepp): ?>
      		Hello World
      	<?php endif; ?>
    </div>

Looks like this update makes it impossible to send HTML formatted emails in Drupal 7:

http://drupal.org/node/224333#email-html

Anyone know how to get around that? I need to have my Forward module send HTML emails, but can't figure it out - they all get converted to plain text.

Hello ,

It can add a live chat room to Drupal seamlessly, multiple skins and user integrated.
A chat room makes Drupal more interactive, it will boost traffic as well as revenue to your Drupal, and will increase Drupal user loyalty.

Chat Features
* Users integrated: User database of Drupal can be fully integrated to Chat.
* Mutiple Skins: Nine skins are available to fit in your forum.
* Lobby and private chat
* Admin Panel: Two ACPs: You can define what kind of chat status to be listed on Drupal, the open mode of the chat window, the server mode, etc. in the Drupal ACP, and customize the chat room in the chat Admin Panel.
* Other features: Avatar, smilies, flash emotions, etc.

Once the module is successfully installed, a free hosted room will be assigned to your Drupal.

What's more, users can auto-login your Drupal chat, it means they don't need to enter their accounts again.

I realize that this may be a difficult question. The devil is always in the details. I have a site that was created many moons ago using Java Server pages, Tomcat with MySQL backend. Separating the presentation layer from the logic isn't possible in it's current form.
I'd like to use Dupral to handle all of the session and authentication. Some sort of framework that has an application block where application (menu choices) results can be posted. I'd eventualy convert the site to PHP if I end up liking this CMS.
