Converting to Drupal

Hi

I'm new to Drupal and would appriciate some advice or directions on my next project.

I'm about to start the development of a new web site. I would usually do this in PHP and build it from scratch, however I haven't done PHP for a few years and i'm sure i've lost the my touch. (if I ever had it :-\ )

The main purpose is to give a specified group of people access to the website, where they can browse company statistics. Data for the statistics are stored in a already existing database and doesn't have anything to do with this new website.

Site structure:

Hi,

I'm running a website comprised of static HTML content on an Apache 2.0. Drupal 5.2 is installed in the root of the domain. I want to keep this content and link to it via Drupal, possibly pathauto all of the content. When I try to access the old static content, such as /data directory, I receive the common "page not found."

Hi,

First post. I am trying to migrate a static site to drupal to take advantage of its CMS features.

Just have a few, kind of advanced, questions about doing dynamic sidebar content.

How do I create a custom content type and then show that content dynamically in a block?

The site has three basic regions:
Navigation, Body Content, and Sidebar

The site has many different sidebars that need to be dynamically linked to the content appearing in the body on many different pages. Sidebar to Body Content is a "one to many" relationship.

I want to allow the user to generate sidebar content in the same way that they generate normal content, through the "Create Content" menu option. But some content will need to appear in the body as a Page (or some other custom content type) and some content in the sidebar as a "Pull Quote" for example. I want to link together these two pieces of content and show them in the same node or page. Is this possible?

I have searched the site and read up on blocks. But from what I understand to achieve the affect I need it appears I have to create a bunch of blocks for each piece of unique content. But this looks messy. Really I just want a single block called "Sidebar", and then dynamically insert specific bits of content depending on what node I am looking at.

Is there a good guide or module for this?

I tried the module at

I am new at ldap... We are using Novell and Active Directory

Looking at the active directory we have

prattcc.local >> PCC >> Pratt >>then the users are listed

I am not sure how to setup the base dn for the ldap module.

Hey!

First of all, I beleive Drupal is so customizable, you can do almost anything with it! But the learning curve is just as much steep.

I run this site http://www.jf-17.com

My test server: http://somi.zoomcities.net/drupal

(Dont worry bout different titles)

I need to convert. :)

I am currently in the process of moving my WordPress site over to Drupal. I am rebuilding the content pages by hand as a lot of things are going to be different once they move to Drupal, but I'd like to get a script that converts my WordPress comments to Drupal. Is there a script out there that maybe I can specify a post ID from WordPress and a node ID from Drupal and have the comments copied over?
