Converting to Drupal

Recently I have been using Wordpress to add simple CMS features to my sites but this doesn't offer the right type of editability that I need for my clients.

The latest site I am working on requires pages to have multiple editable areas on the page, Wordpress just gets messy.

Eg. Home Page = main content, side content, peripheral content area

I have been looking at converting to Drupal for a while and with version 7, it looks like I should be able to do this.

I hope this is the right forum to post this question into.

I'm trying to move my Drupal site from one webhost to another. I'm relatively new to drupal admin so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.. here are the steps i've taken.

- turned off clean urls at first (currently active) webhost
- cleared cache at first webhost
- exported the database using phpmyadmin (choose: add drop table / complete inserts / extended inserts) .. also structure and data were selected. Those are all the config options i have on that page.
- i opened the sql file in notepad++ and under encoding i changed the setting from encode in ANSI to encode in UTF-8 and saved the file. I did this because i noticed on the second webhost it expects utf8 by default as the encoding type in phpmyadmin

- created a new database on the second webhost
- installed drupal at the second webhost
- added all the same modules on the second webhost as those that are on the first
- edited settings.php on the second webhost to reflect the new database info
- uploaded the files directory to the second webhost
- uploaded the sql file to the second webhost

I hope its on the right place here.

hi, i've got a question, while developing a new page for my university.

I want to crate a new taxonomy term in an existing taxonomy vocabulary by saving a new entity of a content in D7 with the modules rules (still 7.x-2.0-alpha4) and Token (7.x-1.0-beta1). The Title of the term should be copied from the title of the new entity.

I tried different things:
I tried in rules "add a variable" --> Taxonomy term --> but then. What should be the "Data selector" of the article?

Hello

As a new user of Drupal, I realize I have a lot to learn:

How do I install a new module into Drupal?

or

Where in Drupal's documentation would I find module installation?

Hello

I am new to Drupal and, I am presently using version 7.

How do I prevent visitors viewing pages that are only meant for logged in users?

Hi Guys.

I have been using Joomla 1.5 for quite some time now. I am a developer so this will be my point of view. I am not that interested in what is required to maintain the site. I am sure that there are advantages and disadvantages in both systems. I am open for both.
