Before you start

Got a couple of questions to the community as a whole, and then some specific to Drupal.

Background - I've been hosting on a VPS for quite some time now. I have CMS, Blog, BB, etc., experience on many systems, but not Drupal. Currently running sites on the following: Xoops, phpBB, SMF, phpNuke, Geeklog, Mambo, Joomla (going away), PostNuke, InvisionBB, and PHPWiki, plus some "hand made" systems. The sub/customer's requirements have led to these various systems being ran. I'm quite familiar with HTML, XHTML, PHP, ASP, and MySql - verbage, content, handling, managing and manipulating at a "can do a lot with all, but not an expert in any" level. I am hosting three internet gaming communities, and several businessess (a Coffee Shop, a Dentist's Practice, a Pizza Parlour). I have some commercial experience but most of my development time is spent playing with new systems - the outcome of this playing leads me to pushing my subscribers to adopt those systems. Sad thing is I spend so much time doing this that I never have time to develop my own personal systems.

Intent - I am searching for an answer. Meaning that from what I've said above, I've spent thousands of man-hours developing stuff that has a very limited shelf life, as I jump at the next best thing that comes along, trying to stay up with what's new and cool on the www. I am tired of hopping from system to system, trying to find the best of the best to offer to my subscribers.

Hey Drupal fans,

I was wondering if anyone has any up to date migration scripts from phpWebSite to drupal? I have an extensive site deployed with phpWebSite (version 0.10.2) and am looking to migrate (most importantly) the photo albums in it. I've seen an older post in this forum about phpWS migration before, but it was for an older version and the links in the post are now stale.

Any info would be appreciated...

Cheers,
Scott

I set up user 1 on my experimental site with the name "admin", and at some point was playing with the "request new password" dialog. I typed "admin" into the dialog and hit the "Email new password" button. Drupal did exactly that - it changed the password to my admin account.

I'm looking for something that will allow me to run a review type website, but allot points/rewards to people for their entries. Preferably, the reviews would have some sort of rating system (stars?) so people can see at a glance how something ranks. I've seen the voting and user points modules on this site, but I wasn't sure if you could combine them somehow. Is this something that would require a lot of customizing? I am wanting to learn PHP, but right now I know very little about it.

thanks in advance!

Hey dudes and dudettes,

Umm, it's kind of long winded and unfocused - but I'm too tired to rewrite it, sorry
