I have a blog on blogger at http://top5ives.blogspot.com. I want to migrate from Blogger to Drupal. Please tell me what are the steps to migrate from Blogger to Drupal. I am new to Drupal please tell me.
I have database of a proprietary cms where all content stored on one table like this: ID, PARENT_ID, IMAGE, TITLE, CONTENT
As you can see all posts stored as hierarchical, PARENT->CHILD relationship.
What i shuld do is to mimic this relationship in the drupal.. So the old content and newly created content will obey this structure...
And i just cant find how to do this in drupal... One thing to note i will nead to create a menu with this structure too...
I get a number of errors when attempting to import a WordPress .xml export file. There are a number of different errors (centered around AJAX) as well as file copy errors along the line of:
Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in wordpress_migrate_import_form_submit() (line 401 of /home/p05541r5/public_html/blog_drupal/modules/wordpress_migrate/wordpress_migrate.pages.inc).

I am now seeing where it asks above the version you are on, and it says Drupal 8.x?? I thought we were all on Drupal 7, Is there a reason my developer is not going from Drupal 6 to Drupal 8? Especailly as it is taking a long time. I was under the impression that code is code. Why does it take a long time to say take a custom theme and copy all the code and logic and then paste it into Drupal 7?
If you have not guessed by now, I am not a developer. Just the guy who is fastly going broke trying to finish a Drupal site that has now taken the better part of 4 long years. I am tired of it and ready to throw the towel in. I thought when a "while" meant 2 weeks, not 3 months to switch over to Drupal 7. Does it erally take a few months to set up a complete new Drupal 7 website from an all custom themed Drupal 6 travel website?
I am thinking of going back to Drupal 6 as that was farther along and then doing this way down the road. Anyone that can give me perspectinve on these frustrations?
I have been asked to migrate an academic website into drupal. The site is essentially a massive searchable text document. It it made up of 1000's of html files which contain plain text.
What will be the best way to migrate these html files into drupal? I'm trying to avoid having to create a new article for each html file as this will take months!
