Converting to Drupal

Hi,

We're currently redeveloping a large website that is currently hosted in Microsoft Content Management Server 2002. The database schema for MCMS is pretty ugly from a content mapping point of view and it's very difficult to find any developer documentation of it or documentation on migration to anything other than a different Microsoft product (not such a surprise).

I'm working on converting a generated-static site to a cms. I've been evaluating drupal for our needs and I find myself unable to do what I want. Maybe I'm missing something.

Our current site has many hundreds of pages, ordered hierarchically, with many authors. I delegate permissions to people by tree (and sub-tree). Our authors include some very non-technical people, so ease of use is paramount.

I understand it makes no sense at this point to build a drupal 6 site, so I've installed drupal 7. I got my hierarchical pages with Node Hierarchy and PathAuto. As a bonus, users can navigate to a place in the web and edit or create child pages right there, which I prefer. What I haven't been able to do is delegate permissions hierarchically - so that they are inherited by child pages. The current 7-dev release of Node Hierarchy is missing Node Access integration. I looked at Workbench Access, which has an option to delegate access according to the menu hierarchy, but it seems sketchy to me to use both methods that way, and what if I want a page in the tree to *not* be in the menu?

We have migrated a Drupal5 site to a new host, but no images are displaying.

The hosting company have installed ImageMagick on the server and confirmed that it is working, but when going to /admin/settings/image-toolkit the message displayed is: "No image toolkits found. Drupal will use PHP's built-in GD library for image handling."

It seems that for some reason the Drupal installation is not recognising ImageMagick on the server.

Can anyone assist with this please?

Is there any way to import pdf into drupal nodes.

Hi

I am not the technical person but would like some comments on migrating a rather complex content site from a custom CMS solution we use currently.

All I know is that we use a framework called zend and the site is in PHP (mysql database).

We have a new front end ready and I'm thinking of migrating to Drupal.
Currently we are a team of writers and editors and photographers who needs different access to the cms. Some content should also be uploaded by users.

Hey Everyone,

I have a website thats written in HTML and CSS that im happy with the layout and everything, but i want some CMS to run the back end. So i found drupal. whats the easist way to get my drupal site looking like my current site?

My site at the moment looks like this

Black Dragon Castings

I'm only just starting out with drupal, but would love to use it for running my site.
