Converting to Drupal

Hi,

I have two questions.

First, I am moving a site to Drupal. Currently the site is divided into a main site (www.example.com) and a subdomain (sub1.example.com). I want to move the subdomain (sub1.example.com) to Drupal first and then the rest of the site. What is the best practice for this? Where should I set up the files? All users of sub1 and the full site are the same, so I do not want to create multiple databases. Finally, once I move the rest of the site to Drupal, I want to keep the sub1.example.com.

Hi everyone,

hey i have been undertaking the slow process of bring my site over to drupal slow becuase 1 i suck at php code and 2. i am not spending much time on it.

Part of my website has an .asp data base which i currently can not switch over to php i plan on paying some one to do this in about 5 or 6 months maybe longer out any way here is my problem.

my old site i used an iframe in the content of a php page to show the asp data base and use it this works fine but does not provide links.

i also used this code.

HI,

i just installed drupal on my Ubuntu Feisty, but i dont really understand how i configure it.
On my old page i had a simple portal, few categories, like nieuws, review and tips.
So i want on drupal in the menu a link to news, where i can find all news messages. Also the url has to be site.com/news for the last news, and site.com/news/1 for news item #1, site.com/news/300 for #300.

but i really dont know how :(

plz help,

thnx Aprominax

We have a small-to-middle-sized web site with mainly (hand-maintained) static pages, some of them containing data that should really come from a database but are also hand-maintained. None of the pages changes too often.

I am now investigating into how easy it would be to migrate that site to a CMS, and I am curious if Drupal would be the tool to use.

I have installed Drupal and played around with it, looked a bit into how templates work etc. I would be very grateful if you could help me with the following questions:

1) expressive URLs: currently the static pages are organized in a file hierarchy that maps to expressive URLs -- how can that be accomplished with Drupal? Is there a way to assign a concrete URL path to a new page in Drupal -- e.g. something like "/projects/project1/index.html"? This would be needed to allow the pages to have the same URL after the conversion to Drupal as before, so that site users and search engine links continue to point at the correct page.

2) How easy would it be to move our existing site layout to the new Drupal site? We already have a template that seperates top menu, side menu, content, footer etc. into different divs, so I would like to simply use the existing CSS for the new Drupal site?

I have created a drupal website and need to import all my users from another custom database. I hav successfully imported the records, but when i try to login using the correct username/password, it does not give any errors however does not log in either as it continously shows the username/password fields to logon and denies any access to secure areas.
But on the section Whos online, it shows the user as logged on.
I have imported all records only into users table.
Do i need to import somewhere else. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
Hemant
