Converting to Drupal

I have done a lot of projects with Typo3, but now beginning to switch to Drupal. One key feature that I'm looking for is similar to Typo3's capability to use ImageMagick to dynamically combine menu text and menu image background to generate very nice looking graphic menu items. Seems like most Drupal site don't have this capability. How can this be done in Drupal?

I imported a CSV file using node_import and worked on the data, then realized that the body fields all have a superfluous quotation mark at the beginning and end. Anybody have a tip on how I can do a check (if the first or last character in the body field is a " then remove it?) I'd prefer not to have to modify the CSV and reimport since I already worked on the data in Drupal and would lose it all if I did that.

Thanks for any and all suggestions!

Peace,

Here is a simple Mysql code to import contents and forum posts from a joomla+simpleboard to drupal+UIE Forum. Here is a simple guide to migrate from joomla to drupal. I have chosen UIE Forum due to similarity between UIE and simple board tables.

1- Backup your drupal database !!!!!!!!!!!
2- Copy jos_categories, jos_content, jos_sb_categories, jos_sb_messages, jos_sb_messages_text, jos_users tables to drupal database
3- Modify this script according to your needs
4- Run it.
5- Reset forum counters

############################ CONTENT MIGRATION ############################
# Get all records from joomla table and add to drupal tables
# Clear content of node table put comment mark inorder to disable
TRUNCATE TABLE node;
# generate content of node table put your table names and content type inorder to customize
INSERT INTO node SELECT id, id, 'story', title, created_by, state, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(created), UNIX_TIMESTAMP(created), 0, 0, 0, 0 FROM jos_content;
UPDATE sequences SET id = (SELECT MAX(nid) FROM node ) WHERE name='node_nid';
# Clear content of nodrevisions table put comment mark inorder to disable
TRUNCATE TABLE node_revisions;
#generate node_revisions table from jos_content table
#you need to put name of joomla table before fulltext otherwise script gives error

Hi everyone.

First of all a Happy New Year for all!

Now I will go straight to subject. I have a little problem, if I can call it like that. The thing is the following:

I have a website based on Drupal and Ubercart. How can I clone the site without to make again all settings and everything (what the first site contains)? I want to be exact the same only under new hosting and domain name. Again, how can I clone/migrate a complete Drupal with Ubercart website to a newly installed Drupal with Ubercart?

Yo Drupal Knights!

In the e107 there is an option for menu visibility (for example visible only to ADMIN level)

How do you do it in drupal

Thanks a bunch! :)

Hello all!

I've been looking at the forums for some time now, but i haven't managed to find an answer to my "problem".

The project is to create a website for a local band, which is fairly simple. However, they want the possibility to update the content themself (news, discography, upload songs, pictures and so on), thus i'm looking at Drupal, so i don't have to make a cms myself.

The site is using AJAX in order to have a Music Player beeing active during the visitors entire visit.

What i basicaly want DRUPAL to do, is to maintain the content :)
