Mapping fields [#1729058]

Hello everyone,

Is there someone who can help me with the following questions.

1. Is there a mapping to made Drupal 5 forum to Drupal 7 forum (core module, advanched module), so I can make a CSV-
export of the Drupal 5 Forum to import the messages to Drupal 7 Forum

2. Is there a way to backup the forum for restore options

Yours sincerely,

Advanced Forum is not involved in storing the data. That is core Drupal & its forum module. So this isn't anything to do with AF. You might want to try asking in the forums.

I'll leave this active for the moment just in case troky wants to chime in but it's not an AF support request.

I'd suggest to upgrade to Drupal 6 and then to Drupal 7.
Backup complete database before doing any upgrades so you can restore D5 any time.

As Michelle said, this is core Drupal issue, not AF specific.

Hello Michelle and Troky,

Thanks for your answers, But do you know if there is a mapping to made between Drupal 5x forum core and drupal 7x core, because upgrading from 5x to 6x and than to 7x has caused issues, so we rebuild the site in Drupal 7.

I will post it in the Drupal forum.
But maybe the following idea's can be picked up in the advanched forum, if they are not already in 7x.

1. Let people say they want to be noticed on a subject if there is an update on it, using e-mail.
2. Backup a whole forum and a convert module to drupal 8x in the future.

This issue can been closed if you like. I thougt this was for question about Forum core and Forum Advanched.
Sorry for the posting.

Johan.
