i am not sure where to post this, but i screwed up my first site and built a second. I need to migrate users, groups, and advanced forums. i just need to know what sql databases to export and import. Both sites are drupal 7. i tried to use migration module but it wants to do all, or specify which tables to use.
I am a newbie trying to figure out if I can convert our PTA site to Drupal. Our site is www.vlpta.org and is written mostly in PHP, XML and HTML. I am having trouble figuring out how to convert to Drupal. I have looked at several Distributions (mainly Julio) and am not sure how to make it work. Does anyone have better suggestions.
I have been doing CGI scripting for 17 years now and having developed extensive resources in python
and other programming languages. I would hate to give up such resources so am doing some research
in advance as to compatibility. I work on linux and mac workstations and provide services to those using
linux servers.
I have a Drupal database for usernames that is built in already.
So in order for a user to see a page they first have to login.
So my question is since they are logged in and on the page, what would be the php code to get the persons user name and set it as the value of a column in another SQL database?
So like this
$username = (grab the persons user name);
mysql_query("UPDATE needs SET submittinguser='$username' WHERE ID=$id");
I am having major difficulties! i have a deadline to meet and i can't seem to import my PHP and HTML site into drupal. it had been suggested by someone i know to use "Import HTML" ( http://drupal.org/project/import_html ).
