Converting to Drupal

Hi this is my first post,

I'm considering moving from a custom php/mysql solution to Drupal, and I'm curious about how people are using nodes. My current impression is that anything can be a node (with some help from flexi-node). It makes sense to me that stories are nodes, but what about other resources? For example, my current system has people in one table, organizations in another table, stories in another table, and URL's in yet another table. I could see putting these different types of data into a single node table, but is that the most efficent way of doing it?

Hello, All

I finally coverted from phpbb2 to drupal. To regenerate the search index, I run something like

while true; do wget -O - -q http://www.example.com/cron.php; sleep 60;done

However, by looking at search_index table with

select count(word) from search_index;

I see that it does not grow much. That is, it grows by ten or two words for every run of cron.php.

How much time would it take to index the databsee with a few tens of thouthands nodes?

Hi everyone,

I apologize if this has already been discussed, by I couldn't find anything (only info on phpBB -> Drupal).

I run an Invision Power Board site, and am currently setting the site up to me run on Drupal. What I would like to do is transfer the usernames and passwords (no other info) over so that they do not have to re-register.

Can this be done, and if so, how do I do it?

(I know it will require MySQL, and I do know how to use PHPMyAdmin, I just don't know which specific commands or what exactly do do)

Thanks - I appreciate it a TON!

Hello,

I have a Xoops site with about 200 users I'd like to covert to Drupal, since Drupal has more lovin' ;)

Anyway, I need to migrate the users and newbb2 forum content. It would be nice to migrate the user-uploaded files, but I can do that by hand if need be, or just let them not get migrated.

If someone has already written scripts for this, please share. If not, I might write them and share them here. Anyway, advice is welcome.

As the title said, I am wondering if there is such a tool. I'd checked xml-rpc php library used by drupal. But still wonder if there is already a mature tool would do this.

I have about 200K useful information previous managed via a database management software but now I want to load all of them to drupal so that will have great user interactive features.

Any one done similar task ?

Tks,

H
