Converting to Drupal

I have created a website in wordpress just to make it up and running. However, wordpress is mainly used for blogging after deciding which CMS that I am going to use. Now, I am going to use Drupal for my CMS.

I have not done anything yet in Drupal. How can I start the process in converting the wordpress site to drupal? Is there any recommendation for good themes or in the case of Drupal, I think that is called templates.

The company that hosts my website supports both Drupal and Wordpress. I am planning to install Drupal locally and on my host.

but

joomla database 102mb

drupal database before Migrate 5mb

after Migrate drupal database 169 mb

Hi, I'm trying to import data from a legacy CMS system into drupal 6.x forums. Using MySQL (far too much data to use the front end).

So far my process is:

1. insert header record into node table ('forum') type - get new nid (primary key)
2. insert main body into node_revisions - new vid (pk)
3. update node record to set vid column to link to new node_revisions record
4. insert record into forum table (nid, vid, & tid for relevant forum - from term_data table)
5. insert record into term_node table (nid, vid & tid again)

I am hoping that someone has some guidance for me. I am migrating about 50,000 users into a Drupal installation.

The challenge I am facing, is that our users do not have an unique username; however the structure for the table seems to indicate that it must be unique. - I do have a unique field ('email address') and could import that and insert it into the field. However, it also appears as if - when signing up - the '@' seems to be disallowed as an allowable character in the username field.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks!

Hey, all.

Thanks for any help you can provide. Having a problem trying to figure out how I can submit multiple content items at once.

Let me try and draw this scenario.

I have created a content type called 'cars', uses CCK upload file, text input, drop down
I want to submit 5 car new content nodes at once on one page.

The user would come to this page and enter information for car 1, car 2, car 3 and so on, then click a submit button and it would, of course, only add the content items that were filled.

Dear All,

We would like to move our HTML site into drupal powered site. Is there Bible Module for Drupal?
How can we run Drupal Bible site.?

Which module do we need for it?
We would like to buil databse driven Bible site. No need to have a lot features.
The user can search the bible verse/ Search by Chapter etc.

many thanks in advance.
