Converting to Drupal

Hello, I am a newbie in Drupal. I have been running a news site in wordpress with well nos. of visitors and they are having bookmarks and also a number of text link ads at my site. Now, I want to shift to Drupal 6, to where my the same domain name will point, as a new home page in Drupal. My idea is to install drupal in a fresh Database and to continue the Older wp-site to be working as archive (even live). Do you suggest it a wise decision? What will be the destiny of my ads, bookmarks?

I downloaded Lightbox image viewer 2.03a from
"http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/lightbox2/index.htm"

It basically enlarges thumbnails in a beautiful pop up window with a close botton.

Now , I want to use a 'page' of my drupal as a Gallery using this.

But I have to include 4 .js files.. and i have no idea how to go about it..

Can anyone show me the light.

Thanks.

Hello Drupalers!

I've been working hard to convert in total 30 websites to Drupal, and now I run into a problem that leads me to the question if i'm doing things right. Before I spend hours and hours of doing it wrong, I thought I better ask here.

Picture this...
I work for a company that currently owns about 30 websites. All 30 websites need to be converted to one single Drupal install, so that's quite a task. The first website is a relocation oriented website, where clients can request a quote by sending in a form. The form is then sent to max 5 relocators and they can send a quote to the client in return. The form asks for 2 very important details, namely the current location of their home, and the location they want to move to. This is very important, because not all relocators move stuff to every part of the world.

So imagion a client enters The Netherlands as their current location, and they want to move to Afghanistan. I created two lists of taxonomy terms. both lists are filled with each country in the world, like this:

Europe
- Netherlands
- Germany
- Italy
Asia
- Afghanistan
- Japan
- China

Europe and Asia are parent terms, and Netherlands, Japan, China etc. are subterms (is that the word?) of those parent terms.

Ok, all good (I hope). Here comes the tricky part.

I am getting ready to attempt to convert my muliple PhpWebsite branch sites to Drupal 6.x. I envision running into the following problems:

I'm using node_import semi-successfully. One thing that concerns me it that node_import seems to insist on having a link title and a valid URL for all link types in a CCK node, even when the node isn't required. Currently, this means I have to put in dummy titles and links and write a SQL script later to remove them. Have I missed something? Seems like I shouldn't encounter this. Is there an alternative way I can import CSV or TSV files into CCK nodes?

Hello
