I am currently looking for alternatives to the 'Signup' module; as far as I understand, 'Signup' and 'CCK Signup' are not related to each other ('CCK Signup' is neither a successor, nor a part of the 'Signup' suite of modules), it is an completely independent alternative.

When dealing with legacy sites with lots of 'Signup' data: Is there a recommended procedure to migrate the old data to 'CCK Signup' (something like a migration path), or is there simply no way to preserve existing data from 'Signup'?

Thanks! -asb

There is nothing currently in place to do this automatically, although I think this is a fantastic idea.

The basic migration path would be:

* properly configure your target setup using CCK Signup
* create a script that takes all signup data for a given event node, and creates corresponding signup nodes referencing the event node, and repeat this for each event

If you work on this migration path, consider posting back here any relevant code, as it might be useful to people in the future, and could potentially make sense as an addition to this module.

Thanks for considering this. I'm currently comparing the existing functionality of 'Signup' plus add-ons, and what might be possible to cover with 'CCK Signup' and CCK. So far I believe that we won't be able to try a migration because too much features have no counterpart in 'CCK Signup' (yet).
