Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
I am a retired university lecturer who has used Drupal for nearly 20 years to create websites to satisfy my various academic, professional and hobby interests, including hi-fi, table tennis, rental property advertising and management, provision of online courses, and any other topic which took my interest at the time. Currently, I am using Drupal version 10 for the first time to create a website for an association of former colleagues.
- let user have his own blog (this set-up happened super easily and by default in D6 very intuitively with default menu link to individual blog in each user profile page)
- with help of a module, shows in a side bar - month-wise links to each month blog posts were posted
- allowing each user to save his own favorite posts, and this selection could be shown to others from a link in profile page (?watcher module)
I need to upgrade an old Drupal 6 to the latest releases. The only way I found is changing the PHP engine version to work with every version (6 and 9 or 10) to export data via RSS (using PHP 7 for instance to export data from old 6 version, then PHP 8 to import them in a recent release).
Drupal has an excellent RSS generator that allows me to export post, categories and tags in a very efficient way, and then import the data generated into another Drupal version, more recent. The problem I got is that the RSS feed can have max 30 post.
successfully migrated d6 to a new server and everything works perfect except the photos do not show up. they are in the files folder with a name like 1 12 33.jpg but drupal is looking for src="/sites/default/files/1%12%33.jpg
should clean urls have been turned off before migrating? thanks
