Converting to Drupal

I have inherited a static site that has an ASP Playground forum which I would like to migrate to Drupal. My problem is that I don't know how I am going to migrate the forum (and users) from ASP Playground to Drupal.

I would love to get some feedback in regards to the best way to do this. Has anyone done this before? ASP Playground is pretty obscure, so what do I if there is no script created already???

Thanks,

Will

Hi there,

I am trying to customise my drupal site and would like to put the webcalendar trailer.php content into a Drupal block (or 3 blocks) on the side bar. Has anyone done this / can anyone help?

cheers

Hi, I have a lot o forms made with formhandler FH3 class (www.formhandler.net) I don't know if someone knows it, but its an excellent class to make forms with validation in just minutes, the question is, could there be any kind of conflicts with drupal core using this class inside drupal in php page contents?

Thanks.

I need to import data from XML file and make nodes from this. It's a custom XML file and I want to use some of informations from this file. Is there any way to do this in drupal ? Because I don't want to do this manually (more than 1.500 positions).

Hi, I must admit that I'm getting very confused about Drupal. I guess there's something very basic I just didn't understood yet.

On the Homepage, I would like to have a custom page containing HTML ( page Content) and have the other half used by Gallery. I hope this question sounds very stupid to all of you, and helping me will be easy, cause I'm about to give in to the programmers who just want to do everything without using a CMS. This is kind of a proof of concept thing and rendering the graphic designer's wishes, is a conditions of success.

Thanks a lot for your help

Hi:

I've been asked re building a website to handle text data - and to have most of this data come from a MySQL database for a non-cms application.

Idea is to set up the website (I have some ideas re this, having built a Drupal site lately).

Then, selectively import data from the existing MySQL database.
The important info on this concerns job vacancies. Descriptions of jobs, plus locations, little re requirements.

While I'm sure that can import data, I have little notion of how tough it would be to ensure it can be handled by Drupal (rather than just make a lot of table entries that don't do anything in Drupal - or, worse, mess up the site!).
For instance, with nodes, maybe need to add variables such as node ids - and, should do this automatically.

Having done an initial import, would want to ensure that as the main database is updated - with new entries added, some existing entries revised - can readily ensure the Drupal database is also updated, synchronising the data.
