Upgrade from Drupal 6 emfield to drupal 7 and the media module

Last updated on
30 April 2025

Drupal 6

  • Perform upgrade as any other Drupal 6 to 7 upgrade.

Drupal 7

  • Download CCK and emfield for Drupal 7.
  • Download and enable Media and any need modules that you use like media_youtube, media_vimeo.
  • Enable the content_migrate module. It should have code to perform a upgrade from D6 emfield to D7 media.
  • Run update.php.
  • Run the field migration script at admin/structure/content_migrate
  • When done migrating/updating the fields, turn off the content_migrate, cck and emfield modules for the very last time. Media module will from now on be your new best friend.

UPDATE

Following these instructions will result in the following errors (one for each field):
`Requesting rollback of field "field_video_or_whatever" due to failure to convert record...`
