Converting to Drupal

In migrating user accounts from a non-drupal database, the userid's came over okay, but the clear text passwords were rejected by the drupal database, requirng the user to request a new password by email. Is there a way to have the old passwords be encrypted in such a way so that the old passwords can be accepted? there are about 1000 accounts and likely several accounts' emails have not been updated so some users may not be able to receive new password emails.

Does anyone have any pointers on migrating a WordPress blog w/ comments to Drupal?

Drupal seems to be the most scalable system, and I would love to start using it.

Any thoughts?

I've done an upgrade of the postnuke to drupal script here: http://drupal.org/book/view/601 for converting newer versions of postnuke (.723) and drupal (4.4.2)

It is a direct derivative of the above script.

I've taken out everything other than users, and stories. Enjoy!

# We suppose old PostNuke database is called "newosdir" #what mine -was-
# and new Drupal database is called "drupaltest". #new drupal DB
# When creating your new drupal admin choose a different handle
#than was your old admin name -or- any old user. -Causes probs.

###
# VERY IMPORTANT: We suppose new drupal DB is totally blank
# so we only have the first user (master) created.
# (Don't worry if you have any translations on the Database,
# this script is not harmful for them).

# Variables importants
# Anonymous user at Postnuke
SET @anonymous_coward="Anonymous Netizen";

# starting NID for polls (SELECT MAX(sid)+1 FROM ipww_stories;)
#SET @inicom=500;

# starting NID for poll comments (SELECT MAX(cid)+1 FROM ipww_comments;)
#SET @inicomenq=500;

# First, we migrate the themes table

I have a site made with Xoops Error500 and i want to know if there is any script or help for migrating to Drupal. Thanks

I am wondering if anyone has written a script to help migrate an existing database of articles from phpSlash to drupal. Writing one shouldn't be too hard, but I wanted to avoid duplicating the effort.

I will also write a script so that old article references like http://weblog.flora.ca/article.php3?story_id=653 would become http://www.flora.ca/node/view/653

All,

First of all, thanks for all the help with the other things in other posts.

My last big thing (and then come the little things) is a nice slick way to get around 20 articles in my Php-Nuke site over to Drupal. I have seen that there is such a script for Post-Nuke, and I've found the user-import script from Php-Nuke.

What I need is a mix of the two.

I suppose I could copy-and-paste, but I'm looking for a better way. Anyone?
