Converting to Drupal

** Reposted here; originally posted in the Post installation forum, probably wrongly. sorry. **

In order to develop our new site using drupal, my company bought a new domain, mydomain.net. I then developed our new drupal site from scratch within that domain.

I have now come to the point where I'd like to scrap our old website and apply my new drupal website to our legacy domain, mydomain.org.

I'm importing content into cck nodes. I've managed to take care of most everything, except I don't know how to handle attachments, as they aren't just some value I can put in a drupal node object.

Does anyone know a way to attach files in a way thats compatible with drupal_execute, or node_save?

Or perhaps some other way?

I have a new drupal installation in /mydrupal/ subdirectory,
say http://www.example.com/mydrupal
and I have a folder /oldpages/ which I put inside /mydrupal/ folder
how can i password-protect everything inside /oldpages/ based on
the list of username of drupal database? (hopefully it can be dynamic)
so everytime a new user creates an account then they can directly
login to /oldpages/
the reason i need this is because

I have constructed a website with the following structure:
www (folder)
- project_1 (folder)
- project_2 (folder)
- ...
- drupal (folder)
- ...
- main.php
- index_project_1.php
- index_project_2.php
- ...
(database is PostgreSQL)

Is there a module available that will let me have the front page display various feeds from the site itself?

An example is posted at

I would like the front page to display most recents, new posts, random users etc....

I played around with views, but couldn't figure it out. If views is the only way, is there a tutorial available?

hi guys,
im trying to build a gaming portal using drupal after managing the former version with nothing but plain html and SSI's; so far I got a big question that is unanswered. If I want to create an html box to which I defined editable fields (in other wors, customizable content type), how can I accurately 'draw' the content type? Can I use HTML with specific tags or other parameters inside to build the content type?

thanks.
