Converting to Drupal

Apologies first for maybe not being completely on-topic but this seemed to be the best place for this question:

I'm having a problem on porting my existing website design and templates in drupal. I want it to look the same as it was.I already have the pages and CSS.

Hello,

Hello,

Hi folks,

We're on Drupal 5.1, on a LAMP server. Our old website was/is on a Windows IIS server. We are trying to implement a phased migration. All the content has been migrated into Drupal, but each group needs to check through their content before we redirect their visitors to the new server. The first group is ready to go -- their content has been checked and updated. I know how to put the redirects into IIS to send visitors to their pages over to the Drupal server.

However, once a visitor is at the Drupal server, they can navigate to a bunch of pages that haven't been checked through yet, belonging to the other groups. I need to catch these visits and send them back to the old server.

For now, I've used Redirect directives in the .htaccess file, and that works. But now the groups which haven't migrated yet can't get to their own pages on the Drupal server to make corrections and updates.

How can I distinguish between anonymous users, which should be automatically redirected between the two sites based on migration status, and authenticated users (or users by IP) which should be allowed to access all the pages on Drupal? General approaches I've thought of (but don't know how to implement):

- Put some kind of if statement around the redirect section of .htaccess so that certain IP address visitors don't get redirected away from Drupal

Hey all!

I am currently using drupal 5 with the drupal forum.. Before changing to Drupal, I had an old phpbb(converted from punbb) installation, which I really want to convert and add to my now existing Drupal forum. This to allow users search through old postings without going outside drupal and into phpbb.

The problem here is, I do not really want the old user database, because everyone registered with new accounts on the new site anyway. Can this be done in an easy manner (not a mysql-expert) by using f ex phpbb2drupal?
