Need help migrating your site to Drupal?

FlashVideo Plugin, referencing 2 videos on one page

Okay, this should be easy but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I've got the FlashVideo plugin working fine, I can place my videos just fine, but I need to have two videos on one page, both requiring the viewer to hit play to activate them. How on earth do I do that? I'm sure it can be done via the [video] tag, but just putting [video] twice on the page just shows the same video twice. Putting [video:1] and [video:2] on the page does the same.

How do I do this, and configure them to not autostart?

how are time values stored in users table ?

I am in the process of converting my data to drupal but not sure how time and or date values are being stored in the users table. I would like to preserve some date information in the original site, such as when the user first signed up.

Importing cross-referenced nodes to Drupal

I'm working on a project which will (eventually) involve replacing an entire CMS with Drupal. The first stage of this involves importing large text records which have been exported in XHTML format from the CMS.

The XHTML is messy, but can be tidied up enough to create a node (there's no relevant taxonomy or user information to worry about). The major problem is that the text is stuffed with cross-references that use a rather intimidating UID mechanism to create:

  1. Footnotes
  2. Links to specific locations within the same record
  3. Links to specific locations in other records

Secure Site

Hi, I am busy developing a site www.bucknellcourt.co.uk as an experiment to learn drupal, so that I can convert a larger site (www.imagineeringweb.co.uk) to drupal once I have confidence I know what I am doing. I've spent a number of hours trying to browse the forum for assistance, but am still confused. This is a hobby for me and I have a reasonable idea of what I'm doing in html, but am stumped with this.

My site is for a residents association/company. I want to have pages available for the general public to view, but to also allow residents to log in and then have access to download documents (pdfs etc of minutes) and perhaps a residents forum.

I have installed SecureSite, set up roles and am now stuck wondering how to secure pages and how to configure the options to do what I want it to. I have read through the help stuff to that is bundled with it.

I don't think I that I should password protect a directory using my CPANEL and place documents in there as this will have just one ID/Password using .htpasswd etc. I've used Account Manager Lite on my other site to manage users and logins which directly modifies the .htaccess and .htpasswd files on the server.

How do you secure pages and place them somewhere safe so that a user has to log in to then see the extended "protected" site.

Any help/guidance much appreciated

Migrating a 2000+ page menu structure

Hello,
We're converting a 2000+ page site over to drupal and we would like it to carry across it's existing page hierarchy. Problem with initial import tests is that it is crashing the primary-menu rearrange page (admin/build/menu-customize/primary-links) - out of memory errors, timeout errors, javascript freezing errors.

How do you set up page hierarchy for sites this large?

Thanks.
