Post installation

Is there a way to take 2 data bases that are from the same site (an old back-up and the current data base the site is using) and convert them to one data base. Is there a way to move the data from the old data base into the new one? Gaining extra info from the older backup and keeping all the current info? I have access to mysql on my host and know how to backup and restore a database but that is about it.

I would be thankful for any info about this.

Hi all,

Finally the site I've been working on all year is due to hit the wider interweb!

I was hoping to glean some wisdom on the move from my windows/xammp test box to the linux production server.

What have been people's experiences of this procedure? in particular windoze->linux? & remote backup/restore of drupal databases?

My primary concerns are...

Greetings,

I am new to Drupal, but I do have some experience working with websites. However, I don't have a lot of experience with PHP. I am working on setting up a website for print publication. I have gotten most everything set up the way I want, I just have to start adding content and tweaking my layout. I am having problems working with the nitty-gritty details, though.

Many of you might have noticed hits in your referrals log from sites which are not linking to you. This is a known problem which affects search engine rankings severely and I will explain how. I didn't know where exactly to post this but it is crucial that the community is aware of this issue.

The trick is done by sites sending traffic to you with 302 redirects in the server header response. Now, when googlebot or msnbot visit the spammer's site and then there are 2 possibilities which I have detected.

The one is instantly sending the bots to your site with a 302 redirect

The other is by featuring a list of sponsored listings which have a few dynamically chaning links to various "sponsor" sites. They link to a special url in their site, which then sends a 302 server header response and the bot/visitor goes back to the site.

Now there are some networks which have thousands of domains on a few IP addresses, all running the same script. From what I can understand, they are aggregating their links from google results related to relevant keywords.

I have tried to block their IP addresses, but it does not seem to work for me. The following is what I have in my .htaccess (at the very top):

Order Deny,Allow

Deny from 216.34.131.

I am trying to block all hits from domains hosted in the 216.34.131.*** ip range.

It just does not work...

Then I tried adding this at the top:

Hey Heine!!

I didn't know the best way to contact you, so ill post incase someone else can help. Im looking to have badges be present like they are here: http://www.gotfrag.com/cs/story/33658/?cpage=1

Users that have subscribed to their "prime" membership, have an orange "p" next to their name.

I want to do the same thing but with the drupal badges...any suggestions on what code I should use, or where i should put it in the theme files?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I've learned a lot about Drupal the last few weeks.

I'm having a problem getting the date function to work properly.
It shows the previous date or sometimes a few days behind.

It was working fine until I got Drupal's search feature working with the cron job.

I used this code from w3 schools:
