Converting to Drupal

Hi there,

I'm converting my IPB forums data to drupal data. In order to keep the log informations on my user, i had to modify the user.module.
I would like to make my own module in order to bypass the actual logging system but i don't know how to begin !

Actually, i've done :
- Modify the user table in order to add a field called "pass_salt"
- Modify the user.module in order to modify these lines :

User_load function:

I am building a site from scratch for a World of Warcraft guild.

They have informed me they want something with the same or similar functions to GuildPortal. This means user list, character list with various stats, gallery, forum, news, faq, event listing permitting users to sign up one of their characters and more.

I wanted some suggestions as to what modules may be best for this, or how I could go about it.

Current site is: www.forsakendeity.net

G,day i have just installed drupal with the intentions of installing a module to handle my tutorials on my site. I wish to have a module that works just like good-tutorials.com and would like to install it on my drupal. Can somebody please tell me where i can get one and import my tutorials from my previous site. As i will need to convert my mysql database information into the module so i can easily intergrate my old tutorials onto the new system.

I am currently converting a static site into drupal. Some of the existing pages use an external javascript file- some are image associated ones which display the larger picture when hovering over the thumbnail and others add a tabbed box to the page with the content contained within the tabs. I can't work out how to use the scripts with drupal. I am using a zen theme. Is there somewhere within drupal I can upload the scripts to?

i have a homebrew cms (also built on LAMP), with at least half a million "nodes". the data itself maps up pretty well with drupal nodes, but i need a database pro to help me babysit the migration. let's negotiate a rate and make it happen, hey?

I hired a web developer to redo my website, http://www.beyondquotes.com which is currently using Joomla. Since he does all of his work in Drupal, he said that it would be a relatively small matter to switch it over. But as time has gone on, I've become a little nervous about switching everything over Drupal mainly because I'm worried that it will affect my search engine rankings.
