Converting to Drupal

Dear sir,

Please visit this site http://www.ilovebolly.com/ This site is made in drupal.
It has many categories . Lets consider movies category. and inside movies.. list of movies.
For every movie there is one page. and on that page they have many things like...

I have been looking at a way of inputting content into drupal but falsifying the timestamp to show it as content created years ago. Currently I am in the process of migrating a number of static sites to drupal and as such have to manually copy and paste some of the content across. This then gives timestamps and revisions as new, despite the data being old (between 1-5 years).

I wrote this as a simple way of changing timestamps, obviously not for general use, but it does hack the nodes to pretend its old data:
<?php
mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'password') or die('Cannot connect to MySql');
mysql_select_db('database') or die('Cannot connect to database');

$sql = 'select * from node';
$query = mysql_query($sql);

$unixTimestamp = 1230800640; // the oldest peice of data as a unix timestamp
$increment = 1012745; //could be replace by a rand() basically worked out by dividing the time by the number of content

while($result = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){

$updateNode = "UPDATE node SET created = $unixTimestamp, changed = $unixTimestamp WHERE nid =".$result['nid'];
$updateNodeRevisions = "UPDATE node_revisions SET timestamp = $unixTimestamp WHERE nid =".$result['nid'];

echo 'Completed: '.$updateNode.'
';
echo 'Completed: '.$updateNodeRevisions.'
';

mysql_query($updateNode);
mysql_query($updateNodeRevisions);

I have been playing with CMS for 5 years now. Mainly Joomla and have tried drupal many times in the past. The reason Joomla worked for me is the products were available out of the box and drupal is ground up creation. Why Drupal, why now, I met a graphic designer that is signed on to build this site with me.

Hi,

I have recently been given the task of migrating our College Departmental website and I have chosen Drupal as the CMS.
As I am new to Drupal I have a few questions that people may be able to help me with.

1. Could anyone suggest a Theme that I could use as a basis for a Department website? This would allow me to populate the site quickly with a plan of developing our own theme at a later stage.

2. What Modules would help in making the site easier to navigate from a user and Administration point of view?

Hi everyone,

After couple weeks of learning Drupal CMS, I am very impressed and can convert most of the website to Drupal. However, I have a function I can't seem find a solution. The question is to create the interactions between blocks.

One block is an image gallery which has a horizontal thumbnails navigation at the bottom. The image selected from the horizontal navigation shows at the top of the image gallery block. The other block has a single image with caption.

Greetings,

We have a Windows 2003 server + a Sql 2005 server we are using to power our Web site, which uses Ektron CMS400. Over the 2 years and thousands of articles we've posted with Ektron, we have been absolutely disgusted with it. The software is slow, buggy, and crashes on a regular basis, causing us to lose work. If we had it to do all over again, we would never have gone with it. We've had to put several additional man hours each day into posting content b/c Ektron is so slow and unstable.
