Converting to Drupal

Hi,

We have a large number of profile fields, 35 and may add more.

What I noticed is not all the fields show when a user selects My Account. I have a field that shows when a membership (we are an association) expires. It is a date field. It does not show up when the user selects My Account. However if they select edit, it is there BUT it defaults to the current day - This is not good.

Also is there a way I can restrict a user and make some fields read only?

Thanks

Hi,

I searched around a lot on that topic, and the only answer I could find is:

- convert from SMF to phpBB to Drupal. But you loose all User passwords.

is that really the only answer? Given that the SMF integration module seems to be rather unsupported at the moment, there is no way to go from SMF to drupal?

We have already had success pulling the data from WordPress to Drupal. I have a developer who is fairly well versed with the workings of Drupal but doesn't have as much experience with the modules so I am looking for some help here.

I was actually shocked at how many Modules Drupal Supports, which is why I am posting. There are quite a few to sift through and perhaps some of you could offer some advice.

We do a website about video games. One of the main reasons for moving away from WordPress is the support for media is lacking.

We are looking for a simple easy to use Screen Shot Gallery (Image Gallery) module. I would prefer a lightbox style one that offers multiple options for the viewable size. To keep it easy to use it would be great if I can just Upload Images to a Directory and the Module will populate the images into a gallery dynamically. Watermarking would be a great bonus.

Also does Drupal have any plugins that directly support video? Would it be a high definition solution? If not we have a space on YouTube and it would be fantastic if I could just feed it my YouTube username and perhaps have some discipline in my video naming so the Module could pick it up automatically.

There seem to be a huge number of posts on this subject - I think I've read them all, and I'm still unable to see why I can't get this to work.

My existing non-drupal site uses cPanel hosting and exists in /public_html. I've developed a drupal-based replacement site in /public_html/drupal and, during development, accessed it using the subdomain drupal.mysite.com with DocumentRoot set to /public_html/drupal. No problems. Now I want www.mysite.com to load the site from /public_html/drupal.

The ISP are unable/unwilling(?) to change DocumentRoot in httpd.conf so told me to update /public_html/.htaccess to include the following:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mysite.com$ 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/drupal/ 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /drupal/$1 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mysite.com$ 
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ drupal/index.php [L]

This appears to cause any request that starts with www.mysite.com or mysite.com to be changed to be www.mysite.com/drupal. That works in that www.mysite.com now loads from /public_html/drupal, but all URLs are now of the form www.mysite.com/drupal/rest-of-url

Hey all.

I have a script that I created that is moving data from tables that are already in the database to the proper Drupal tables. When I hit the script, I get a Drupal "Page Not Found" page. I believe the HTAccess is rewriting the linkage, but I am not 100% sure.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
