Drupal 6 Upgrade Status (& Roadmap)
Status as of 7-May-2009:
- The live site is now running Drupal 6 (using Apache 2 & PHP 5)
- Calendar is functional; still needs some refinement
- Permissions in Drupal 6 are different; many are not yet set properly; you may not be able to edit some of your pages, and other quirks
- The WYSIWYG editor is only partially activated, but has basic functionality
- Your graphics should be displaying correctly. If not, see next item, and ensure you are not using the [Inline] tag, as per this page.
- Changed file upload method from private to public; should result in faster performance,
but this breaks some URI’s: those containing plus sign (+) as placeholders for spaces. Also, some URI’s contain garbage in them (shown in bold), e.g. http://swni.org/CMS-Uploads//Library/WebServer/CMS-Uploads/filename. It should really be: /CMS-Uploads/filename. I will try to fix both problems en mass with a perl script, but you may also fix them manually if you like.
- All absolute links (to SWNI site) should have been converted to relative links
- The front page now displays, by default, only stories created or updated in the last 60 days. A filter is exposed allowing the visitor to change the timeframe. I haven’t figured out how to move the filter to the bottom of the page yet.
- Minutes content type now operational
