Hello Everyone,

I would like to get an experienced drupal hacker's opinion on converting a rails 1.2 based web shop that sells mp3 files and has a very customized way of working.
Of course some features would be now, it would not be a straight conversion but an enhancement of the previous site.

Features wanted:
- There are some static pages
- A blog, and a news section
- Newsletters must be able to be sent based on custom filtering of users and a schedule
- The data structure is not that simple to pull over ubercart/commerce (genres, tracks, albums, artists, and pricing scheme is very complex with complex rules that differ on where the user bought the track, or album (price is different), then who is the label that released it, etc.)
- It needs to be multilingual (2 languages minimum, more probably later - all content needs to have 2 languages, some can be more as well)
- There is a need for a webshop component that is able to handle file downloads - but also these file downloads must be customized. We only would store mp3 files, and if someone buys an album it would be zip compressed on the fly. Then individual mp3 files would have their ID3 tag changed based on the language used. This would be a custom module for sure - but is it worth the effort to learn the ropes for doing this?

My questions:

Hi friends.

Recently I managed to import content from CuteNews to Drupal, as code that I made available on this topic.

The import process has brought some undesirable characters to the text and the URLs of the imported content.

I managed to change the URLs, and they turned out like I wanted.

However, when I try to edit the imported content, I get the following message:

Hello

Hi Folks!

I'm working on a new site for a client. They have a section on their old site called resources where you can look up a keyword and it'll pull up a list of books and articles related to that keyword. They have this all stored in a database. I'm now redoing their site in Drupal (7) and I need to get this copied over and usable in the new Drupal site. I dug around their database in phpmyadmin and found the table with this information. It's essentially structured as follows:

num (ID number of the posted article starting at 11 and going up to 159 mostly in order with some missing numbers in between)
createdDate (year-month-date
hour:minute:second)
createdByUserNum (user 1 and user 2)
updatedDate
updatedByUserNum
hidden (I guess this is a 0 or 1. They're all 0 currently)
product (book title)
summary
description (they have the amount of pages the book or article is)
keywords (keywords separated by semi-colon)
source
type (what type of book or article it is)
month (of publication for the book or article)
year2
author
author2
author3
subtitle
item_number (not sure what this is for. seems to be numbers between 1-30, some repeated, some are empty)

Hello,

I'm attempting to migrate user information to Drupal 7 from another website.
