My website is http://www.learningbyyourself.com . It served me well to begin with but now I am limited in what I can do. I sell my books (in PDF form) through it and I want to keep the visual look of the site. I have some user management capability (limited) and site management capability (limited) both of which could use Drupal capabilties. I also want to have the forum, blog (which I do have but don't like), and possibly other features of Drupal.
I'm working on converting from Postnuke to Drupal. I just got done migrating stories over - had a few glitches, but I think I've got them converted, and more importantly, they have the same ID #'s in Drupal as they did in Postnuke. That's important, for reasons that will be obvious in a second.
Since google's already got my PN site indexed, I'd like to be able to catch links to those "old" addresses and send them to the new, correct, Drupal address.
I am in the process of converting a Joomla! site to Drupal (Drupal rocks!), and I had a bit of difficulty finding documentation on how exactly I needed to move the Joomla! articles over. I did find this post, but it didn't highlight the details like I was hoping for. So I thought I'd sign up so to share what I have learned. I do hope this will help others. I am moving over to Drupal 4.7.x, so I hope this is still applicable to 5.x.
By the way using a program like SQLyog or MySQL Query Browser makes this process very much easier, and faster to boot, since you don't have to wait for page loads with PHPmyAdmin.
First, to make things easy, copy the db_joomla.jos_content table straight over to the Drupal database, naming it db_drupal.node_jos_content. This allows for very convenient access.
Next run the following SQL for each article, but be sure to make a note of the comments.
Here is the SQL script I came up with. It has a few caveats:
As it is @nid and @vid (MySQL user variables) have to be updated manually for each article. That blows if you have a lot to import.
I wasn't really concerning myself with keeping Joomla! articles in certain Drupal categories, as Drupal's way of doing things is much more flexible. I was planning on manually reassigning categories later.
We are in the process of converting our website from the Mambo to Drupal CMS. The current website (in Mambo) uses a module (kinda crappy and very limited) called mod_newsfeeds_scroller_pro" which scrolls news from rss feeds.
