header - special header before the article in articles list
user_id - creator

Hi,

Could some one provide a code snippet and instructions or point me in the right direction as to where to find the required documentation on the following. I am a newbie php programmer.

I have a second site that I want to tie into drupal. The second site has no authentication and is a mix of static and dynamic pages (compiled). I am going to convert it all to php (perhaps with a php wrapper or something) and want to ensure access is only available once logged into the main drupal site.

The logic needs to be cover. The logic needs to cover:

I'm migrating my site to Drupal and so far, it's been a wonderful move. I'm using URL aliases for much of the content on my site. However, there is part of my site that was not created by Drupal and therefore does not have a node. It's path is a subdirectory and I do not want to change it because of a huge number of incoming links.

here's what I've got:
www.mysite.com/product/ (is a URL alias to a node)

Hi,
for a new little portal, I want use an old db of informations without import data into Drupal nodes (eg: with CCK). That is: i want to use all drupal tools (comment, vote, forum, ...) but "linking" old data (writing my own PHP pages and so on) for show, search, browse, etc...
What is best solution for this problem?

Thanks,
Antonio

Hi all, its come time to update the backend of my site, however I wanted to know the following:

Is it possible to use drupal purely to add and remove entried from the mysql database in a speedy way. I am happy with the frontend system, however I just want to use this as a glorified back end to add content to the existing site?
