Need help migrating your site to Drupal?

Mulitiple blog pages

Hi All,

Im new to drupal so sorry for questions from the lost and confussed.

Im just wondering if there is a way to have mulitiple blog pages. Just the site that i am currently moving over to drupal has 6 pages for differant types of blogs. For example, the site im bring over is a scuba diving blog but i have the blog posts organised into catogorys for easy reading as well as a latest post page. Is there a way i can set up a blog page for equipment, dive travel etc with drupal?

thank in advance!

need help to 301 redirect, am getting ?q=old/url

I recently migrated from pmwiki to drupal and would like to preserve my old links for seo purposes.

http://www.mysite.com/old/url to http://www.mysite.com/new-url

First I tried this 301 redirect in my .htaccess:

redirect 301 /old/url http://www.mysite.com/new-url

I get this:

Importing legacy data and schema questions

Hello,
I would like to seek your opinion on how I should go about importing our legacy table(s) to Drupal. Here is an example table :

Projects
ProjectID
ProjectName
CountryID
StatusID

ProjectID is the primary key, auto-increment. CountryID and StatusID are foreign keys pointing to Country and Status tables respectively.

Connection String and Security

I have been asked if Drupal meets PCI and OWASP security standards. After reading them in some detail, my answer would be yes for the most part. One issue was specifically raised: storing the database connection string in plain text.

OWASP says the following on its site: http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Configuration#Secure_connection_strings

Secure connection strings

Connection strings to the database are rarely encrypted. However, they allow a remote attacker who has shell access to perform direct operations against the database or back end systems, thus providing a leap point for total compromise.

How to identify if you are vulnerable

  • Check your framework’s configuration file, registry settings, and any application based configuration file (usually config.php, etc) for clear text connection strings to the database.

How to protect yourself

  • Sometimes, no password is just as good as a clear text password.
  • On the Win32 platform, use “TrustedConnection=yes”, and create the DSN with a stored credential. The credential is stored as an LSA Secret, which is not perfect, but is better than clear text passwords.
  • Develop a method to obfuscate the password in some form, such as “encrypting” the name using the hostname or similar within code in a non-obvious way.

Toggle text field for search

Can someone help me show a search field with toggle text like "Enter Search Keyword"?

Create a page with a list of bio's editable by the members themselves.

I'm converting a "member bio" page over to Drupal for a networking site, and I'm not sure the best way to go about it. The member's need to be able to upload and edit their own bios, but the iformation is not on the front page, and they need to appear as a list with another alphabetized list to the right, and then maybe even another list according to profession. http://brightonwellness.org/bios.html
