Converting to Drupal

Hi, I have a forum that is XMB 1.8 (xmb site is http://www.xmbforum.com) and I want to transfer the posts over to my new Drupal message board. It is fine if the usernames don't transfer because I want everyone to re-register at the drupal site anyway. I really can't lose all of the posts though. Any advice? THANK YOU! - matt

HI,

Whenever posting a new entry I get a duplicate entry error in two tables:

user error: Duplicate entry '55' for key 1
query: INSERT INTO alpha_node (title, body, format, uid, type, teaser, status, moderate, promote, sticky, comment, created, changed, nid) VALUES('sdf', 'sdf', '1', '2', 'blog', 'sdf', '1', '', '1', '', '2', '1118866276', '1118866276', '55') in /usr/home/web/my.site.dgd.se/alpha/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

I have 3 bloggars on b2evolution and I would like to switch to Drupal. Does anybody have any scripts to help convert from b2evolution to Drupal? Thanks!

Hi folks,

I need a little advice for migrating our website content to something like Drupal.

We are a non-profit community television organization in Cambridge, MA. We provide free channel time and access to production equipment so that people in our city can place their interests on television without being independently wealthy. Our access center is to television what blogs are to the internet.

I was originally looking to build into my current site some RSS in/out ability, a sitewide search feature, comment ability, etc, but addressing each one of those components indivudially might be far more work than just moving to a complete CMS. I like this Drupal package quite a bit, it seems to have active developers and problem solvers, and combines a lot of nice features.

Anyway, I am left with these questions:

1. We use Cutecast as a forum script, with 500 posts! If I move to Drupal can I then import that content or do I have to lose the last four years of posting?!

2. Less of an issue, but we use Greymatter for a news-style weblog. There are only 75 entries since the beginning of time so I could enter it all by hand... but I don't want to. Can I import this content into Drupal too?

3. Someday, like Cutecast and Greymatter, Drupal will fall to the wayside for a new type of site method/movement/revolution. When that happens, will I be in a position to migrate there or will I have locked my data away into an inaccessible format? Just an afterthought, since I am experiencing that now.

Migrating from phpBB: http://drupal.org/node/24633

phpBB is a major bulletin board, widely used by many people. Many people are looking for a way to migrate from phpBB to a Drupal based forum.

If you search drupal.org, you will find many informative posts.

I am hereby creating a new chapter in the book to sort this information and to make it more accessible to people coming from phpBB.
