Converting to Drupal

Hey i have been using drupal for a week or two and ever day im learning something new. I was wondering whether anyone could explain to me how the following is achieved. How do i have a small bit of content in say the right region of my site and when it is clicked it opens up all the content in the center region. Much like the drupal.org site has done with the links on the right. All of this has to be editable and the user has to be able to add new links/content. Thanks help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I'd like to automatically display author profile fields links (blog, guestbook, photos, videos, profile, guestbook, points, email, make me a friend etc ) on the left side of the node he created. Since I am creating social networking website. This feature is very essential.

Is there a way ?

Many thanx for a help.

Why is so much dependency being built on Javascript - I am determined to create a website that does not require this junk - I absolutely detest Java and all its implications such as requiring the user to either download or enable scripts.

Is it possible to produce a Drupal site without Javascript ?

Hello There

I am new at Drupal and I loved it.

How can I create all links of User X on left side of any page/article/blog or poll create by that user (X).

Hey y'all,

I've got a migration script for pulling data from a legacy database CMS. I need to preserve URLs in the new site, so I need to generate my nid's programmatically.

I might be able to set all the nid's in SQL directly. But then I miss out on all that Drupally goodness!

Neither node_save() nor drupal_execute, nor the TW/Migrate modules, nor Node Import modules allow one to set nids.

Okay, I've tried this two ways:

redirect 301 /reviews/plan9fromouterspace.shtml http://www.scifiblock.com/movie-reviews/plan-9-from-outer-space-1959.htm

and

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/reviews/plan9fromouterspace\.shtml$ movie-reviews/plan-9-from-outer-space-1959.htm [R]
