Any Tutorial on converting Drupal 5 modules to Drupal 6

Hello,

Are there any tutorial on Drupal 5 -> Drupal 6 module conversion?
Most modules are still supporting only Drupal 5.x. And it would block deployment of Drupal 6.
I tried to convert a Drupal 5.x module to Drupal 6. I failed and don't understand why.
I read the Drupal 5 and 6 documentations. And still don't quite understand yet.
Of course, I'm not a good code writer.
But if there is a handy guide for that, I believe I could convert it successfully.

Track clicked links in the News Aggregator

Can anyone direct me to information for tracking links clicked within the News Aggregator? For example, I'd like to create a block of popular or most active headlines that have been selected by all visitors.

Drupal6 Aggregator cron?

Hi everyone,

Just installed a new site based on Drupal 6, and I have a dilemma ;-(

I'm aggregating a couple of RSS feeds for local news section of the site, and I'm having some issues regarding the automatic update of these feeds.

When I run the cron.php either manually or as a cron job, the feeds are not updated !!??

I've followed all the instructions, and tried to find a solution by searching here, but without any success . ;-(

Cannot connect to DB

I just ran this on Drupal 5.7 and it works with mysql, but not mysqli. Even though the database was created with utf8_unicode_ci.

But when I go and try to install 6.0, I get....

Failed to connect to your MySQL database server. MySQL reports the following message: Unknown MySQL server host 'localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock' (3).

* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct database hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?

Images embedded in stories

Hi everyone

I'm looking for an easy way to embed images in stories at the positions I want without resorting to IMG tags. I want the images under CMS control. At the moment, I'm using imagecache and using IMG to reference them. Not too special you'll agree.
