Converting to Drupal

Hi all,

I've recently been contracted a site to repair it. It looked like a drupal site, walked like a drupal site etc.

When I started to dive into the site there were several of the .tpl.php files (page.tpl.php, node.tpl.php., node--page.tpl.php etc.) .

There is also a collection of pages which look like they relate to pages on the site, such as node--ships.tpl.php, node--shipyard.tpl.php, node--sitechart.tpl.php.

Hi,
I try to set up my TurnkeyLinux Drupal7 to use an external LDAPserver for login for for my users.
When I try to enable the module "LDAP Servers", I get an error saying:
"No LDAP PHP Extention is loaded for for PHP, so LDAP will not work properly"

I want to use my new Drupal site as an intranet and do need autentication for access to the intranet, and my users already have accounts in our OpenLDAP server.

How can I use an external OpenLDAP-server, who hold my users, as a source for login to my Drupal site?

I am a new Drupal developer using Drupal 7 with Views 3 installed.

I am developing a school registration system. This will contain confidential information such that an administrator
would be required to limit access to student related information to the specific people who are authorised to deal with it and to deny access to anyone else.

I have designed a Node Type (equivalent to a table) called Access which has the following user reference fields:-

I'm migrating an existing site to Drupal, and I'm trying to use a simple PHP include statement:

<?php include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/NEWS/current_news"); ?>

in a Basic Page, but it doen't show up. I've googled my heart out, but no hits.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

How do you accomplish Dynamic pages in Drupal?

More specifically, I would like to simply draw data from a database (not the Drupal database) to populate a page based on the URL string (GET). For example, mysite.com/cities.php?n=Atlanta would show database data for Atlanta and and mysite.com/cities.php?n=NewYork would show database data for New York.

Ok. I'm using Joomla for long time now. I developed little bit (modules and simple / medium hard things), modified components and modules etc. When i think about any new web, my brain is automaticly thinking about menus, categories, articles, modules and components.

Not long ago i heaed about Drupal and i tought, heck, why dont i invest an hour or two into researching what Drupal is and what i saw i really liked. I like idea of being able to create web site just like kid creates whatever he wants with lego blocks.
