Need help migrating your site to Drupal?

importing node content into DB

I feel like I'm in a bit over my head here.

I've got about 300 nodes that I need to import to a Drupal site from a mysql homegrown site. I can get the data into the Drupal database, but I'm not sure which tables need to be updated in order to for Drupal to do its node-tracking niceness. Is there a way for me to tell Drupal that there's new nodes in the database without creating those nodes through the Drupal web interface?

Thanks for your help.

Category Module and menus not functioning together

Hiya everyone, Jonny D. here with a rather "fun" problem.

phpbb2drupal

While attempting to transfer my data from phpBB to Drupal using the phpbb2drupal module, when I go to admin/phpBB 2 Drupal and click on "Configure the migration" I am presented with the following error message:

"warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/relee654/public_html/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 630.

Unsupported database type"

This also occurs when I browse to admin/settings/phpbb2drupal.

How do I resolve this issue? I appreciate all of your help.

Thanks.

upload images in user's personal subdir

We are a businessclub that offers a free service to our local members: each of our members has a free page with 5 images max to promote his business (static site, testing Drupal as replacement). Not being very Drupal savvy (yet), how can I force each member to upload his images in his "personal" subdir? In "upload into subdir based on uid" (http://drupal.org/node/14790) -last post on May 3, 2006- there was a private file issue with a patch that was supposed to allow this. Does anybody know if this has been resolved?

Forum: how to subscribe or follow a thread?

Online forums are fine, but they usually have a feature allowing you to subscribe to a post, especially the topic you have just posted. I found nothing similar on Drupal. For example, how can I even get an email notice when an answer is posted to this topic I just created? Where can I select/unselect the topics for which I want to be warned of an answer ?

Forms

I am sorry as I am sure this has been answered but I cannot find it

I am not really a web programmer but I want to convert a site I built with FP to drupal so that others can update its content. It is a site for a football club so nothing fancy.

I have been working through the various ways of moving a static site to drupal but I am stuck on forms. I have a couple of forms that I have built using FP that have more fields than a contact page. The results are emailed to various people depending on subject.
