Need help migrating your site to Drupal?

wrong css styles

Hi,
i try to convert a working site to drupal, which works fine except for my foto galery. i just took my original php code together with its own css file to the new drupal site and only inserted the following code in the drupal page:

<?php
  require_once("/galery/galery.php");
?>

i see my galery correctly so far except for one thing: every list item has a bullet in front in spite of my css styles which say e.g.

Applying CSS and inserting specific database content

So I'm about to convert a site to drupal but have a few concerns.

I've got the template/layout of my site set, so I'll be intergrating that into Drupal and using Drupal to manage the content of each page.

Say I have a page of content, a news update entry for example, do I have to do all the styling through the WYSIWYG editor? Is it easy to apply different custom CSS classes as desired to each element of that entry?

Importing multiple images into nodes (CCK imagefield)

Hi guys,
I'm trying to migrate my content and image files from another CMS to drupal. I'll be importing my contents into nodes using node_import, but the images is the only thing left. Currently I have a cck imagefield (named content_field_screenshot) in the node which will have multiple images in it.

Redirecting from an ex-joomla site to drupal

I'm very happy with drupal for more than months now, but the joomla site was up for 3 years and many old links still lead to joomla addresses, which not so pretty and with 4500 nodes on my page (a newspaper) can be frustrating to readers to find the correct thing.

It should redirect from this:
/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=43&Itemid=82
to this /node/43

Asking this here, since i thought this could be handy for others too and maybe someone has done this already.
thanks!

Joomla to Drupal question: Profiles module

As I was reading these instructions: http://drupal.org/project/joomla on how to convert Joomla to Drupal, they state that Profiles module must be installed.
I looked,and there are several profiles modules, each is slightly different.
Which one do I need?

Using Drupal to build a product-focused site

Hello there fellow Drupalites,

I'm pretty darn new to Drupal and have just installed and been playing with Drupal 6.4. I'm a designer with much more front-end implementation knowledge (xHTML/CSS/JS), than PHP or MySQL knowledge. I'm thinking of using it as a content management system for the company I work for, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how all of my content would fit into the Drupal system, while maintaining the format I'm currently using.

If you'd like to see the site I'm referring to, visit www.wirelessinteractive.com.

Here are a few of the big picture questions I have:

  • How would something like products fit into the taxonomy system?

    As an example, the current products on the site are split into categories like: Access Points, Antennas, Power Amplifiers, Connectors, Cables, etc... I think this is the first thing I'm trying to wrap my head around, just so I can understand how these products can logically be stored and displayed. I'd like to be able to add attributes to these products as well, so in the future I could start using filters or specific queries to bring up a set of products (i.e. displaying only Wi-Fi antennas, or only outdoor-rated access points).

  • Is there a module that would help me streamline the process of adding major products?
