Converting to Drupal

Please need any body to tel me setup to migrate joomla 17 website to drupal 7

thanks

Hello drupal,

This is my first post here. I am very new to drupal, but I decided to use it for further development. I have a custom CMS that uses MS-ACCESS for storage. I am trying to write a VB script in order to insert users, categories and articles to drupal MySQL database. The VB opens both databases and constructs the appropriate INSERT statements. I did that with Joomla with success, but I prefer to go with drupal (there is no point to discuss the reason in this post).

Hello everyone,

I am fairly new to drupal. I am developing a website with drupal. I have developed the php code which will pull the data from the database. I would like to use the same php code to pull the data from the database and use it on my drupal website. Is there any specific module for this? This will help save a lot of time and effort. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

I have a 13 year old database that has been running on php-nuke and phpbb since the site began in 1993. For the past 3 years our site has been just a plain vanilla phpbb3 forum. For the past 8 days it has been getting hacked producing the browser security prompt message stating our site is an "Attack Site" causing me to delete the core files to the bb3 installation and re-install just to get the site going again (for a few hours until it's hacked again). So I'm looking for a solution to both get the site back up and running securely as well as conserve our 19 year old history meaning I would like to conserve and convert or integrate our users so that their information, passwords, posts, etc remain in tact and on the site. Can you imagine the disappointment having this old and large of a site and having this happen after all this time? It is painful to say the least. I would be very grateful for any suggestions that lead to a solution.

I had tried this: http://drupal.org/project/phpbbforum
And it hasn't worked. I installed a fresh installation of the newest stable phpbb3 release which is 3.0.11 (yes, I know, that may be the issue because the only current bridge available seems to be for 3.0.10). I can downgrade back to bb3 3.0.10 if the drupal experts here say that is the best thing to try.

I'm new to Drupal (converting from Zencart) so please give me a bit of latitude before slating me. I have just installed the latest Drupal ver (7.x) and am unable to find a text editor that is open source and compatable with the 'browse' function to upload images - can anybody help?

Hi,
I have an existing static website running off a VPS with html, JavaScript and Rebol. So the entire website is html developed.
I am considering migrating to a CMS because I percept I can benefit of an easier and more flexible web development considering that I need to involve several editors in this webpage and they could benefit of existing back-end engine that would allow them to develop without the need to type codes or scirpts.

I wish to ask the following questions with the aim not to receive references/manulas to read (examples yes) but just an honest answer becasue I am in the stage of discernmente and need few simple answers from those who are quite expert with Drupal and CMS.

1) how difficult and how much time would involve learning the basics of Drupal for setting up a website considering that there is existing web programming knowledge (not CMS knowledge)?
2) is it possible to preserve entirely the layout and structure of an existing static webpage and how hard is it? Also, does Drupal have some tools that would help creating the template/layout of the site?
