Converting to Drupal

We currently have a large static html wesbite built on Dreamweaver templates. We would like to install Drupal and migrate all the content over to it but with a new navigation map. So there will be some necessary changes in taxonomy.

Hey,

Hello there,
I´ve been reading a lot lately about MVC architecture (Model-view-controller) and PAC architecture (Presentation-abstraction-control).

I´ve also red some very useful posts around here that talks largely about this MVC vs. PAC issue.
Those posts seem to be a bit old (2005 and 2006 mostly), but I think that applies for Drupal versions up to 6.x. I think Drupal 7.x will be different, as it incorporates OOP.
1. Drupal as a MVC Framework?
2. Drupal supports the MVC pattern out of the box
3. Does Drupal 5 has a MVC architecture?

Of course, I´m not a programmer, so it´s pretty hard for me to get things straight in the first approach, so, I´ve search for some other material that could help me to understand this.
These are the most interesting resources:
1. Drupal as a MVC Framework?
2. MVC vs. PAC
3. Interactive Application Architecture Patterns

I've created a custom google map that allows users to log in and add markers. It is still in early development. Currently each marker is saved as a row in a google spreadsheet but would instead be saved as a node in drupal I am guessing. There will also be lines and polygons that can be added the same way markers are. A good amount of the functionality of the site will be inside the map itself which fills up the central content area, a node is loaded as a marker/line/polygon and the content is displayed in a window when it is clicked.

Hey Guys,

I have a Drupal server running in our data center, where many of our client have drupal sites running.

I also have additional IIS server, but I wish to find out if I can host non drupal web site in the same apache web services; i.e. index.html; index.htm etc

I have changed the httpd-vhosts.conf to point to the site i am hosting on the server, but this changes the way drupal looks at the site hosted on the server.

This might be silly question but I don't know how to do this. I need help in migrating my live site running on wordpress to drupal. I want to transfer the complete posts along with the author names and comments to drupal site.

The problem is actually I have to host drupal site on the same domain (for example www.domain.com) on which wordpress is installed and if I have to install drupal I will lost all the wordpress data. Backing up all the posts and reposting it on drupal is a tedious work.

Help in doing this please.
