I am trying to convert www.mircscripts.org to Drupal and study migration more and more. I'm getting more and more confused.
There are various modules that, apparently, will help in the process of migration, but this is nothing but confusion and absence in any case. documentation (listening to the Migrate module!) or b. only supports Drupal 6.
A migration module that seems to dive into the PHP code and create some “mappings” with your old table and Drupal data. Firstly, I would ideally like the graphical interface (Table Wizard only supports Drupal 6, and the replaceable data module only supports Drupal 6). I also want to import data into Drupal and not use “mappings”. I want to disable the Migrate module after all the data has been “converted” to the Drupal node.
If you look at the site above, you can pretty much see the scale of the data, forum, comments, etc. and get an idea of how the database tables look, just your usual things; users, comments, and other custom materials, such as “files,” which store all the different scripts uploaded by users.
Any suggestions on how I will convert the site?

change . I forgot to mention that the site is almost completely custom made. The code for him is like my nan on her way to bingo - a complete mess. There is an interesting bit of code available at http://drupal.org/node/261066 if you scroll down, although I don't want to do node_save()60,000 times for each entry, in just one table. That sounds bad.
