Switching to Drupal - Expert advice needed

By dandy1 on

Hi all,

I'm new to Drupal and this is my first post here.

I'm playing around with Drupal (6) for the past day, trying to see if it can fit my needs. I would like to switch an exiting tailored made site engine to Drupal CMS. The site's layout and concepts is similar to sites like youtube (which I'm sure all of you are familiar with). in a nutshell, here are my site specs:

  • the site contains thousands of articles.
  • each article contains: a collection of “related tags”, a thumbnail image, content, title, comments.
  • A tag page displays a list of articles that has the tag word in they're “related tags” collection. for each articles the first line of text is shown, it's “related tags” and the thumbnail image.
  • Tag words are stored in a table, each tag has it's id and title example: id=1234 title=oranges
  • Each article has it's own id and can be referenced by entering www.myurl.com/article.php?id=1234 (I will have to keep this since my url's are already indexed under google, I do not want to loose the ranking)

    Transferring an eblah forum to Drupal 6

    By AnimalLoversWeb on

    Hi, I'm new to the forum and I am planning to convert my website from static html to Drupal 6. I am just in the planning stages having read David Mercers book and I am about to install ApacheTriad and build a local Drupal site first.
    My question here is that as well as my main website I have an eblah forum, it is fairly young with only 120 members and about 6000 posts but it would be ideal if I could import all of the users and posts to the forum module in Drupal.
    Can this be done?
    If so how easy/automated can it be?

    Pagging with array content

    By beautifulmind on

    Does any one have idea about how to apply pagging on array content?

    It works perfectly when using the foreach(), but with while(), its not showing next pages, and just sticks with the first page.

    If you can get this, please share your idea.

    Thank you.

    New website scoping - Drupal a possibility

    By jamestombs on

    I am a web developer at a charity in the UK called Action Medical Research.

    At the moment we are scoping out our new website which we hope to have a lot more functionality than our current site.

    My predecessor built the site using Savant2 PHP template engine with some bespoke modules for event registration and online sponsorship.

    Our event registration involves getting users contact information for legal reasons and also we need to get payment, which at the moment we use a company called Secure Trading but I am not sure how set in stone that is. We also need extra information for each event which differs from event to event. Some events will need passport details some won't, some of our bike rides have more than 1 route so the user has a choice of routes to ride.
