Converting to Drupal

Aloha,

As a volunteer for vsh.org I would like to approximately replicate the capabilities of the vsh.org site in Drupal as a demonstration for the VSH board.

VSH has over 2000 members but the site doesn't allow much (or any) interaction between users. I'd like to improve that and the ease of maintenance, among other things.

Hello,

I have been using the Jaws CMS for the past fews months and have recently decided I want the support that a large community such as that of Drupal's offers, as well as some additional capabilities that I can't find in Jaws.

I am a premie newbie - I have Drupal and no idea how to use it. I wrote all of the content for my website using Microsoft Publisher 2003. The conent and format is in there and I would like to get it into Drupal. Is there any hope?

Okay, I have the node_import module installed in drupal 6.10 and a delimiter separated text file.

The way the file looks is like the following:

author, date, content, taxonomy term, author2, date2, content2, taxonomy term2, etc...

How do I get the node import module to recognize those taxonomy terms and put them in the correct spot in drupal's database?

I have already created the terms in drupal 6.10's taxonomy module but I need node_import to grab the terms from the delimiter separated file and put them in the correct spot.

Hi,

Please have a look at www.webbusinessage.com which is a prototype of my project which is to have a full featured blog and a sophisticated directory engine with normal and sponsored listings, logic for display of listings, listings content can be images/HTML etc, categories on vertical and type on horizontal (so sub-categories). I have massaged Wordpress with the help of available widgets in the present prototype but have come to a standstill because of the limitations and can hardly go beyond.

Hi Guys,

We're considering switching our site to Drupal, but I'm having a hard time getting my head around how we can achieve our current registration process. Our current site is built from scratch on J2EE (hosted in Jboss).

Here's some of the functionality I'm struggling with :

• We have multiple "Promotions" on our site. A Promotion is essentially "any asset we require a user to register for"
• Some of the registrations require approval (before the asset is made available to the user)
• The assets are generally things like :
• White papers
• A free piece of software
• A community edition of one of our products (kicks off a workflow process where one of our team has to approve it before its allowed)
• A trial version of one of our products (requires the same approval process as previous bullet).
• For Promotions around an asset, we generally send the requesting user an email with a URL to download the protected asset (the URL will have a unique token on it, so we can track it back to the registration)
• Some Promotions have a "max asset download count" - which means that the download link will only work N times
