Converting to Drupal

I'm new to Drupal. Our current site, www.edufone.com, uses php defines for localization. For example, our aboutus.php page includes code such as:

<?= ABOUT_US_TEXT ?>

<?= ABOUT_US_TEAM ?>

and either an English and Spanish include file is included with defines for each of these strings. For example, our English language file includes these php defines:

Hi there,

I have recently completed a prototype website for a children's charity: http://www.everychildcounts.org.nz/new-website/index.php It is an advocacy site so it features a lot of current news items, which are updated regularly and I definitely see the potential of integrating a public forum to discuss related issues. They also want a search facility to reference relevant information on the site. I have made the site in my own time but want to be able to give them the full ability to maintain the site once I've converted it to Drupal so that they can be totally self sufficient in the future.

I have successfully installed drupal six and have played around with creating a blog and adding themes. However I feel a little bit overwhelmed by the whole thing as there seem to be so many different parts to Drupal.

I have done a lot of reading of blogs etc.. but am still a bit confused as to where to start and what would be the best way to translate the site into Drupal.

The prototype site is CSS based and makes use of PHP includes which cover the heading/nav, main body, right sidebar and footer. Am I right in presuming that these will become 'modules'? It would be really cool to have snippets showing a preview of the news items on the homepage which then link directly to the full article in the relevant section.

Hello,

I'm trying to convert a big html site to Drupal 6. Some stuff will be carried over from the old site. Some pages have dozens of internal links pointing to files so I need something to keep the old links working as I will cut and paste those pages in the new site. For example, I have pdf files in a directory structure like this:

/08/subdir1/file1.pdf

I would like to move those dirs in the files subdir of Drupal :

/sites/files/2008/subdir1/file1.pdf

Now I want my old urls to work without editing them so I need to redirect them :

Hi all,
We have ONE domain which we are dealing with here. http://www.lee-magazine.com is currently a static website. We are converting it to Drupal and have signed up at a new webhosting company, Hostmonster, where I have started building the Drupal version of the site. Due to some issues I am having with clean URLS not working correctly because of the current temporary website address, I need to transfer the domain over sooner than I had thought.
I had this bright idea that I would create a subfolder and bring over the entire static website to put in here....amend the htacess file so that it would point to the index.html instead of the index.php so that when someone typed in "Lee-magazine.com" it would go straight to the static version. This worked GREAT!

BUT I thought that I could simply type http://www.lee-magazine.com/index.php and it would pull up the Drupal part of the site and I could continue building away. Wrong! Doing that brought me to the correct index.php...but anything beyond that gave me errors because when I click on any link on the drupal side, it is naturally going to look for the home page (which has now been defaulted to the index.html) and so things just are not working as they should.

Hey!

Trying to migrate to Drupal from PHPBB3 RC Gold

Im getting the following problems during the import:

Table phpbb_categories does not exist!
Table phpbb_forums: OK!
Table phpbb_posts: OK!
Table phpbb_posts_text does not exist!
Table phpbb_topics: OK!
Table phpbb_users: OK!

The worst of it is phpbb_posts_text DOESNT exist in the DB and nor does the other one.

Anyone know I am going to get around this?
