Converting to Drupal

Hello!
I need help to understand this!
I want the guests to have the possibility create a story with taxonomy tags so that the members of the site can find it from "town" and "occupation".
I also want the guest to have the possibility to edit and delete his own story.
Do anybody have an idea how I can do this?
I'm thinking about to modifies the user-registration-form and make a easy role that only can edit its own story and nothing else.....
Or should I work with the form-module?
I hope that there is some module that fit to my needs!

I was using phpbb2 till I found drupal
I start to make the migration, but as I expected I face a problem with encoding, my forum language is Arabic.
I do the following:
1- I made export for the specific tables
2- I saved it in utf8 encoding
3- I created tables for these new data
4- I imported the previous data.

Hi I am very new to this and need to know how I can move my website www.mywebsite.com/drupal to people can access it by just going to www.mywebsite.com. I tried copying all the information from the drupal folder to the root folder but none of the links work.

What do I need?

Howdy,

I've been using Drupal since 2002 - so I have a long history with it. I'm in a work place now, that has a main Intranet site, using Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/). I want to migrate it into a Drupal CMS platform, so I can extend and use the more advanced features of Drupal.

But...I'm at a loss as to how to go about this in an automated way. We have over 2000 tickets managed in Track, and several thousand Wiki pages. As you can imagine - Trac just does NOT scale well to large sites.

I have created a custom content type using CCK. This custom content type also includes the imagefield cck module which allows you to add pictures to this type of node. I am working with four csv files that I edit using excel. They are:

node.csv
node_revisions.csv
content_type_profile.csv (the custom content type that I created with CCK)
files.csv

Each of these files represnets a MySQL database table. These csv files contain large amounts of data that I import directly into the database using PHPMyAdmin, rather than entering the data through the web browser. I have got everything importing fine, except for the pictures. The two tables that deal with the pictures include the content_type_profile table and the files table. The content_type_profile contains several fields:

vid
nid
serveral misc fields that are irrelevant to my problem
fid
picture title
picture alt

The fid is the file ID of the picture.

In the files table there are the following fields:

fid (same ID as the fid in other table)
nid (same ID as the nid in the other table)
filename
filepath
filemime
filesize

So, I upload the pictures to the file server, I fill in these tables, making sure that the IDs match up between the two but when I go to view the newly created content, the pictures do not show up. If I add a picture through the drupal interface, they show up fine.

Hello, I'm a first time user of Drupal and I've been using Typolight for my CMS for a bit before getting annoyed with adding content features.

One of the things I really liked about Typolight is the ability to create a pagemount and filemount for users. So what this does is that it allowed me to create Users with basically administrator priviledges in creating and modifying pages, except they are restricted to one section of the site. For example, I had a site with 7 parts of the body that details current technologies in modeling for that part. Each part had an administrator and they could add pages and create users/editors/contributors.

So I guess what I want to do is:
1. Have sections/categories administrator so that they have full page creation/editing permission in that category but no where else on the site
2. Be able to add users to their Group as editors/contributors that can write articles for them.
3. Have them be able to upload files to their own directories, but not be able to access outside of that.

That's required for this site, but some "nice" features would be like private forums and private calendars.
