Before you start

Hi

I've tried to search and have found this: http://drupal.org/node/2622 but frankly I still don't know what to do. Installation manual says that

mysql -u nobody -p drupal < database/database.mysql

will load required tables. OK, it will, i've tried once on an empty database but now I have a database that is populated with tables from phpbb. Will the command above leave those tables inside and undamaged(they have their own prefixes). ?

Will Drupal Suit me?

I am making a website with four main parts, hard hard will it be to implement:

1. News
This homepage for news will have lots of boxes. Some saying recent news, some showing the recent blogs, reviews, and forum posts. On the left there will be a list of catogories and dates. Nodes for news will say "recent news" on right coloum.

Hello everyone,

Would someone please point me to the "Email To Discussion" free add-on listed on the Drupal cmsmatrix page? Link: http://cmsmatrix.org/matrix/cms-matrix?func=viewDetail&listingId=1050

Thank you very much.

hi everyone,

our site is based on some new proprietary cms software, but it is so buggy we had to adopt a new forum to it, punbb. all the users hate punbb, so we want to get a new forum.

the idea is to port the punbb to drupal, in anticipation of eventually switching the whole site over to drupal. this is more viable than say using invision, which costs, then porting to drupal later.

how viable is this? is there an easy how-to on porting punbb. or some scripts we can run?

I am seriously considering Drupal for my site. I was wondering if it supports being installed in a folder on the host as opposed to being installed in the root? i.e Does the installation absolutely have to be in the public_html folder on the host for it to work or will it still work if I copy the files to public_html/drupal/

Thanks!

Hi there

I'm a graphic designer and I'm just about to leave my job to set up on my own. I use dreamweaver and fireworks to create websites, so my skills are mainly frontend, though I have dabbled in MySql and PHP, but only a little.

What I intend to do on my own website is to offer an area for my clients to log-in to their own page, where they'll be able to:

track the progress of an ongoing job

Leave notes/messages

send and receive files/pictures/PDFs

make a payment via PayPal and

talk live via 'Help Center Live' or similar system'.
