    I have a Drupal site that I want to convert to EE.

    I’m sure this has been discussed so am looking for info on exporting and converting db and templates. I can start from scratch but looking to save some effort.

    THanks

    I actually haven’t seen it discussed in great detail.

    How large is the site?  Unless it’s vast I’m betting it’ll be easier to not work at the db level and just work at the rendered page level instead.

    I know enough about Drupal to know that it thinks about sites and content in a much different way than EE does.  You’re going to be in for some heavy massaging of data structures to move content at a db level.

    Consider the hours it’ll take to do that, and investigate hiring out some less-skilled people to just move content.

    You probably just saved me hours of frustration.

    It’s not a huge site so I’ll just deal at the rendered page level as you say.

    I suspected as much

    Thanks a lot
