Need help migrating your site to Drupal?

Bare minimum Drupal API to migrate existing site?

Is there a documented set of bare minimum Drupal APIs that I would need to migrate my existing site to Drupal? For example, can I just add in all my pages under the document root and then modify each page to make the appropriate Drupal calls? (This would be only for the end users, I want the drupal admin pages to exist as is ).

Migrate from Pivot to Drupal

I was using Pivot on my old website, but have changed over to Drupal. I couldn't find a module or script to import the Pivot content in to Drupal, and I've been kind of interested in learning a bit about how the modules work, so I've written a module that does the job.

With hindsight, it might have been easier to type the code by hand, but never mind!

If anyone else is making the same migration then feel free to fetch a copy of the module from my site.

abyss web server, drupal, clean urls, mod_rewrite, voting

hi...

i'll post this in aprelium's forum as well.

i have been happily using abyss web server, the new version of which has fastcgi and php, perl, asp.net, and rubyrailification, all that muccajucca. i'm feeling loyal and want to see if i can solve this and use abyss, and i think a good, clearly presented solution would help drupal spread, as abyss provides sweet features and ease of use with nice performance. i host my web at home via dynamic ip but please don't hate me for these three strikes: 1) windows; 2) non-apache; 3) self-hosting. whatever we don't agree on, drupal binds us.

sadly, i find abyss web server doesn't support or emulate mod_rewrite and thus doesn't work with clean urls and with some modules, notably the voting module (the one with 5 stars). i've found some hacks which i was unable to make work, lacking any concrete, specific instructions for drupal. see http://www.aprelium.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=46856#46856

my version of the code i'm trying now as my 404.php page is this...i have drupal in a /drupal directory off the root.

<?php

/* Add in this array the list of (old path => new path) pairs */
$redirection = array(
'^drupal/(.*)$' => '/drupal/index.php?q=$1'
);

/* Get the URI and trim leading slashes */
$uri = ltrim($_SERVER["REDIRECT_SCRIPT_NAME"], "/");

foreach ($redirection as $key => $value)
{
if (eregi($key, $uri))

I am new to drupal....

I am new to drupal.

I am doing an academic project ,building website where people can post their photos along with a blog for each photo. People can comment abt the photos,somewhat similar to fotolog.com. Technologies are oracle database, jsp and EJB.

I want to log all the events done by the users such as registration, uploading a photo, abt comment.

Is it possible to do this part using drupal, rest of the technologies being same?

Will moving to Drupal affect current search engine rankings?

I have a website of a friend which is made up of over 8000 static HTML pages. I am moving it over to Drupal to make it easier to manage. His site has ranked top in search engine results for over a year in certain keywords and he is using this as a key point in selling advertising space. If the site is drupalized, then I assume spiders will have to re-index all the pages again. How long will it be before he can regain his spot in the search results? Is there any chance moving to drupal will permanently affect his search engine placement?

From Wordpress > Drupal 4.7 RC

I decided to take the plunge and switch over my Wordpress blog to Drupal, which I will be using to build my company's site. I want to take advantage of many of the new features in 4.7 but there doesn't seem to be a way to be a way to import my data. The script mentioned in other threads does not do the trick.

Any suggestions? I'd assume (and hope) that there would be a lot of people in my situation, especially when 4.7 is final. Anyone care to work out the bugs on me?

Any help would be great!
Rick
