In this Drupal 6-focused session, Mark W. Jarrell of Austin Peay State University and FleetThought.com will showcase a list of modules, tips, and tricks (both on the Apache/MySQL side and the Drupal side) that will help you to know more about best practices in moving from a legacy site to a Drupal-based site. Topics to be covered include:

  • Get it into MySQL (MySQL Migration Toolkit)
  • Basics of migrating legacy database content (Migrate and Table Wizard modules)
  • Putting some thought into your URLs (Pathauto configuration)
  • Keeping people from getting lost using redirects (.htaccess and Path Redirect)
