Need help migrating your site to Drupal?

Migrating OSCommerce site to Drupal+Ubercart

I am migrating an e-commerce website to Drupal with Ubercart. Can anyone help me with what I need to do to migrate user account info? I know passwords won't work, and each user will have to request a new one. But beyond that, it is going to be trial and error for me unless someone with much more knowledge than I have can take pity on me. :)

unicode woes, need help displaying text from a file

hi there,

i'm having some issues trying to read a file with zero-padded text.
using mb_detect_encoding() it returned that the encoding scheme was UTF-8.
i'm not exactly a unicode expert, so this has pretty much been trial and error for me for the past few days.

i've set up a page and return text so it will display in a drupal page "test/unicode"

  $items['test/unicode'] = array(
    'title' => t('Unicode test'),
    'description' => t('Unicode test'),
    'page callback' => 'unicode_test',
    'access arguments' => array('add content'),
    'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
  );

the function unicode_test() simply returns some text which i am attempting to display from a file containing unicode.


function unicode_test() {
ob_start();

// Bad file
$content = file_get_contents('C:\Documents and Settings\twig\Desktop\blah.vmg');

// This displays: UTF-8
drupal_set_message("content encoding = " . mb_detect_encoding($content));

// This displays: r�e�j�e�c�t�e�d� �t���c�k�e�t�
echo $content;

// This is some test code to remove the zero-padding and turns it into normal ASCII text.
// It works fine, unless the text contains some accented characters (such as the downward accented ' ì ' U+0236 in ticket), which halts my php script and causes weird issues.

Better URLs

Where are the advanced settings to control your URLs? Or is this done through some kind of standard module?

If I want a blog post about How I Spent My Spring Break to show up as
http://mysite.com/blog/2008/05/08/how-I-spent-my-spring-break
instead of
http://mysite.com/node/345

How do I do this? Is there a really good article somewhere on this topic?

Thanks,

If I just want to display node, how does one trigger hook_view() via menu callback?

Lots of information in Pro drupal development on creating forms, but what if I just want to display the data as formatted by hook_view function, for example, if I just want to display the page showing joke and punchline according to the formatting directives in the joke_view f'n - how would I trigger joke_load() and then the joke_view function directly?
