Moving site to Joomla - help with php/SQL and forum please

Post by HWNDarkside » Tue Apr 17, 2012 4:59 pm

Hello.

I've installed Joomla 2.5 to my server and I want to use it but I can't seem to replicate the main function of my existing site.

Based on an existing MYSQL database, this is the reason the majority of users visit my site - http://hardcorewillneverdie.com/archive.php

There are 3 other versions of this code running too

http://hardcorewillneverdie.com/mixes.php, http://hardcorewillneverdie.com/flyers.php and http://hardcorewillneverdie.com/tracklist.php

I'm not fluent in php, the coding was put together for me about 10 years ago and I added a search function about 4 years ago but I don't really understand it (but it does work!!) :laugh:

I can't get the php coding to work in Joomla! , nor can I find anything to perform the same function.

I've tried Joodatabase but can't get it to work in 2.5 -although not sure this would do the job.

Any suggestions please as this is key to my website and it's pretty pointless moving without it.

My other question is regarding my exisiting phpbb forum. Can I use this is Joomla! or do I need to get everyone to re-register with a new Joomla forum (I've got around 2,300 members)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated ;D

Thank you.
