Converting to Drupal

Hi folks:

I am planning to upgrade my site to drupal. My site is obviously a content site. Currently, paths are in two formats depending on the content types. For essays and Q/A, the path is usually like domain.com/a/67 -- something very easy to achieve with Drupal.

The second is the path for blogs. There're multiple blogs, for example News Analyses or Reflections. The path for blog article is under the subdomain blogs.domain.com and is dependent on the blog name, e.g. blogs.domain.com/reflections/128 or blogs.domain.com/news/132.

Hi ,

I have a Drupal 5.3 application. Also we have a PHP application. I need to integrate this PHP application with existing Drupal application. I mean I need to change the look and feel of the PHP application as similar to the existing Drupal application. Ie. I need the same header,same footer and the style of the Drupal application to the PHP application. Later the admin changes the theme of the Drupal application, it should reflect the PHP application also.

Actually website home page and inner page is different. I don't know how to use two them same website in durpal.
Another problem is i having html files how to include and linking.

How would your create an index page for a 'directory' so that when a user goes to http://someDomain.com/someSection/ it directs them to a default page?

Using pathauto so that paths are in the 'department/page-name' syntax
Use a redirect module?

Here's my problem, I imported alot of data from postnuke when we started using drupal. All the nodes came in with nid's of 1000 and up. Everything worked just fine until recently when we got to a thousand nodes, at which point the site locked up and quit accepting new content. To make matters worse I have a problem with the node table now as well (might be related, but it certainly might not). Anyhow browsing about with phpmyadmin shows these two errors on the node table:

PRIMARY and INDEX keys should not both be set for column `nid`
More than one INDEX key was created for column `status`

Do I need to change something in node_counter? I've got plenty of backups going back for months, so I don't mind breaking some things, but I'm unsure where to start kludging.

I'll paste the script I used for importing here. It is modified code from another post somewhere here on drupal, I wish I'd documented it all better, but I'm just lucky I could find this script still lingering about on my server.

# Story Migration
####

INSERT INTO newDrupalInstallDB.node (nid, vid, type, title, uid, status, created, comment, promote, moderate, changed)
SELECT pn_sid+1000,
pn_sid+1000,
"story",
CASE WHEN NOT strcmp(LEFT(pn_title,3),"_TP") THEN substring(pn_title,4) ELSE pn_title END,
2,
1,
unix_timestamp(pn_time),
0,

0,
unix_timestamp(pn_time)

I am looking for a Newsletter Module for Drupal 6. So far I searche for both "Newletter Module" and "Mailinglist Module" on the Drupal site.

Most Modules I found are not for Version 6 (some haven't even versions, I guess those are older version 4 modules) and I can not find valuable comments on the modules itself.

So far I found simplenews and will give the beta a try. Has anybody feedback on using this or other Newsletter Modules with Drupal 6?
