Converting to Drupal

Hello

What is the best method to migrate content from MSSQL to Drupal. Please advice.

Thanks
Clinton

I have number of html forms, with at least 30 elements in each, and I'm wondering what is fastest and best approach to convert all those forms into forms base on drupal's FAPI. I'd like added features(validation, security) comes with fapi but I don't know from where to start. Any pointer/suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch

Hi,

I've been converting my website into drupal lately, but I have been having a problem: My content (that is loaded with drupal) won't show up at the Firefox and Safari browser.
Are there more issues with those browsers?

This is my code:

I have experimented with implementing drupal modules and I am familiar with some practices of Drupal, especially that of CCK and Views, which is what really set drupal apart, IMHO.

I have a complex site which needs to be rebuilt on something a little more stable than the code it's running as of now. It's complex because of the amount of code:

1. Classifieds (listings, photos, seller ratings, create/update/delete expired)
2. Forums
3. Coupons
4. Business directory

There is also a backend contact manager and a few other sub-systems. The original code is a mess and perhaps the worst I have ever seen. I would love to rebuild this on drupal and build custom modules only as required, using CCK/Views and existing modules to extend/enhance as required.

My question is somewhat theory/best practice based. Should I use CCK/Views to establish a base for the entire sites content and thus allows admins to manage content easily?

Classifieds, Forums, Business Directory/Profiles, etc. I can easily determine the required fields and build each table in CCK/Views but obviously, there are somethings which Drupal cannot do out of the box, such as firing off an email to classified owner a day before expiration to allow them to activate classified again.

Is this where I would look into adding a hook or some kinda of cron service to check expiry dates and fire off an email?

Hello,

I've been working with Drupal for several weeks, and I'm trying to convert my website to Drupal. I managed to add a custom theme, but I can't get my new content type working. I've downloaded the CCK, created the type, added a view and it displays the content, but:

1. I have the standard fields like "Title" and "Body" in my type. I don't need them. How do I remove them?

Hi,

I'm just heading for another "site redesign" in our company. Because of my prvious nice experience with Drupal I'm now thinking about that CMS as well.
Most of the page is quite standard and I know how to build it but then there is our products portfolio. I can deal with groups and product links but when it comes to a product page I'm not enough experienced to do things right.

On product details page I'd like to have main area with large photo and description. Then below that tabbed area with: detailed specification, logistic details, Q&A, Drivers, Photos.
