Converting to Drupal

We are about to set up a hosted account at www.midphase.com/hosting_prophase.php to have our html template rebuilt into Drupal.

We also plan on installing a template there we can practice on and add modules to, in order to figure out how to make the CMS function the way we want. But I am confused as to which version of drupal we should use.

I have been reading about php 5.2 not working well with drupal v.6. Some developers have said that version of php is for security, while I find that other functions (I am not well versed in server language - or knowledge) work best with newer versions of PHP.

We publish news online, operating three networks (pages are identical in layout) that comprise local city sites (132 in all). We will need to do a multi-site installation, I am aware of that. But not on the midphase.com hosted account; when the templates are built and we become familiar with the modules we want to use, we will migrated to a dedicated server (using same host) - and there, (re-install) drupal using our templates, modules and configured for multi-site display.

I have not been able to find clear answers as to how we would create headline feeds for third-party sites (not ours). Currently, we offer javascripts of our news categories in which users can chose from three display layouts for each category of news.

Hello,

First off, I'm trying to make my website menu so that the sub-menu items aren't indented. For example, this is how it looks

GRADUATE OPTION
-OPTION 1
-VERY LONG OPTION

How do I make it look like this?

GRADUATE OPTION
OPTION 1
VERY LONG OPTION

Secondly, how do I make it so that my sub-menu items aren't completely capitalized? I'd like it to look like this:

GRADUATE OPTION
Option 1
Very Long Option

Dear all.
I'm looking to convert one of my sites to Drupal.

I have been trying to search the Module pages, but I'm gettin lost.

Thanks in Advance. May anyone please help

Hello, I have a website www.bitsolution.info .
I want to convert it to a Drupal powered website so that My clients can Login, and post comments and send emails using contact form. I will be very happy if I can retain same looks of my website.
All I want is just converting the site to Drupal without changing appearance

Please suggest me how to do this, Have any links for related tutorials?

Hi all!

I am migrating my old website to drupal, and I encounter a strange error. It is to note that I am only copying and adapting the code of my old site (that works perfectly) for drupal, so the only thing I changed in the code are the include and require paths, and these seem to work.

When I execute a page that contains require commands in the following way:

$DOCUMENT_ROOT = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
require("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/Natation_Drupal/drupal-6.6/mysql.runtime6.php");
$DOCUMENT_ROOT = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
require("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/triathlon/config/include/utils.runtime6.php");

I get the following error:

Fatal error: Function name must be a string in /home/www/39885474e02bb47b62c182d50ebb7449/web/Natation_Drupal/drupal-6.6/mysql.runtime6.php on line 360

and here's the code from mysql.runtime6.php on line 360 (this file is absolutely identical to the version working for the old website)

$keyLengthLimit = 255 - $GL_strlen($PATH_INFO) - 50;  // 50 is extra margin for server name
		if (sizeof($this->primaryKeySet) == 0) {	// primary key was not found
			$fieldLengthLimit = 10;	// default
		} else {	//	LINE 360       Min 4 is for "null". 6 is worst case for 2 byte char encoded.
			$fieldLengthLimit = max(4, ($keyLengthLimit / sizeof($this->primaryKeySet)) / 6);
		}
