Converting to Drupal

Hey Guys,

So in a nutshell we are converting our gaming site from Wordspress to Drupal. The Admin runs out of Cali and "Just one thing, since the master system lives on my laptop.....". I was wondering if I logged in and made changes to the beta site if there was any way to prevent the changes from being overwritten. So for example assume I created a button called "Affiliates" or tweaked the appearance of the theme, is there any way that the Admin can save the work I did without nuking it.

Thanks!

Any version of drupal OK

Just need to convert phpbb2 to drupal big database

Hi people,

I don't really know how to design my nodes and fields for my particular case. Here is the thing: in my e-commerce website, the backend is already coded in home-made php, and I want to use Drupal as my frontend.

Products are defined in the backend, and I use a webservice to transfer them to Drupal. The thing is, for each type of product, there are many extra fields, and they're not the same for each type of product (author for books, list of ac tors for DVDs, ...). And I will keep the ability to create new types of products in my backend at any time. It looks like this:

Product DVD:

- list of actors
- director
- release date in Cinema
- release date in DVD

Product Book:

- author
- collection
- editor

Product CD:

- artist
- genre

I'm using Ubercart as my e-commerce module in Drupal. I also need common fields for every type of product (price, possible discount, ...). I don't want to create my nodes/fields manually every time I change them in the backend, I want them to be replicated automatically via my webservice (I've seen the node API and Ubercart API?).

I'm trying to make a video site using CCK and the Video plugin that depends on CCK, and for organization purposes I would like to put videos uploaded for a particular category/taxonomy under a certain folder.

However I don't see a place anywhere to configure the video upload field's behaviour. Everything is simply dumped into sites/default/files. At least I would like a two level directory for instance anime/(anime name)/episodes.ext and the (anime name) depends on the taxonomy of the particular post, or perhaps a separate text field.

hi'

first, sorry if the answer has already been done. I'm a newbie and don't really know how / where to find it :(

I'm converting a website to Drupal. I have a lot of documents (pdf, .doc, images...) and I would like to centralize all into a single folder.

What I have done :
1. Creation of a new directory into the root folder (www/uploads/
2. Nothing else (because there is already "Options -Indexes" into www/.htaccess file)

It is correct ? What is the best practice or should I better use the www/misc folder to put my documents ?

Hi,
Someone could help me, I'm new with Drupal and my boss asked me to improved the uploading function of his website. My problem is as default drupal only have 1 file directory, is it possible to have two download areas or directories. A public one and a password protected one
The password would be best if user based, like I can choose which users can access.

thanks in advance for the help..
By the way I'm using Drupal 6.19 and HOSTMONSTER as my server! thanks!
