Converting to Drupal

Hi,

I want to install a new drupal web site and then export my content, users data ... from my current drupal website to the new one (my cirrent website version is 5.0).

I tried to make a copy of the current drupal directory and database and then import the sql file to create a new database and I change the file setting.php on the new drupal folder to use the new database but it doesn't work.

Thank you for your help,

Moize

Hi - I'm in the process of switching a site over from Wordpress to Drupal (this is my first time using this software) and am having a problem understanding the event module functionality.

I want to change the look and feel of the sidebar.
As i found in page.tpl.php page...total sidebar coming in two variables, $sidebar-left and $sidebar-right.
Can I edit the content of the variables?
I mean $sidebar_right contains different blocks for different information. Now can I shift any one of that to my $sidebar-left?

Also how can change the design how those links inside a block are shown.
As i found they are attached like

Hey Guys,

in my free time, when I'm not designing, I work doing design for a non profit in the San Fernando Valley, CA.

The National Kidney Foundation of Southern California.

I have spend the Last few months creating a new design for their website.

Their Current Website is well not so good (kidneysocal.org)

My new design is better. Please note that this is not the final design, also not that this page (at the moment) does not comply with web standards. Please also note that there are a few changes that I have not posted yet. (This is done with CMSMS )(kidneysocal.org/c)

However I dont like CMSMS and want to make the move to Drupal

My Problem, is that I am more a designer first, not a programmer. Admittedly however I know some basic: PHP, SQL, JAVA, HTML, CSS, Minimal AJAX.

What I'm trying to do: Is to implament a content management system so that the office employees (who do not have the skills listed above, or even the skills to edit the website on something like contribute, nor the time to do this) can update the content on the website.

I am trying to set up a very user friendly Content Management System. I have explored a few options: Joomla, Drupal, word-press, ect. I am a fan of the simplicity of the Drupal system.

Like you can see from above I have a design, which I would like to implement into a Drupal template.

I have been looking at moving my static site, my old paper and pencil rpg maps, etc. into drupal.

I did find the import_html and image modules. My website is around 2,000 web pages, 900 pngs, and 900 zip files. I have a few categories setup.

The site is at:
http://crestar.drivein-jim.net/

(I already have wordpress 2.1 on another sub-domain, so the php and xml requirements are fine.) I have drupal 4.7.x installed in a test folder in the crestar sub-domain.

Hi,

Im new to drupal and Im struggling a lot with integratiing my design with it. Please help me out on this.
