Upgrading Drupal

Since this problem started right after an upgrade, I thought this was the right forum to ask.

I inherited admin of a drupal site, running 4.7.4. A few days ago I tried to upgrade directly to 5.5, had a crash during upgrade, after several restore efforts have the site back as it was.

Except for a few odd things - when I create or edit a page, as user1, the links for "publishing options" "authoring information" are broken. the text is there, but the hyperlink isn't working.

Hey folks,

I updated several modules on my website. Now I cannot promote content to the front page. More... the content does not show up in the 'Organic Groups' group to which it belongs, nor does the content show up in the blogs (i.e. www.catholicsfordemocracy.org/blog). The content does show up in the block that lists recent blog posts, though.

I am confidently certain that this is a problem created by updating the modules, but I cannot figure out which module update caused this or how to undo it.

I am running two sites in separate servers:
- the testing site
- the production site
as recommended in the good practices section.

While I am adding new content to the testing site, the internet users keep adding content to the production site at the same exact time. The problem arises when it is time to merge the two databases. There are rows in the two node tables which are showing the same identifier (nid column)! That makes impossible to merge the rows in a straighforward way.

Has anyone developed the appropiate SQL scripts to achieve that?

Hi,

I've got an old site using 4.7.something with lots of content. I need to export only one book from this content to a new 5.5 version of the site.

I don't want any of the old content apart from this rather complicated book.

Having spent the afternoon looking for a way to export and import the needed content I have drawn a blank.

This surprised and worried me because up to now I have loved working with Drupal.

Any suggestions about how to export a subset of nodes?

Thanks,

Guy Roberts

Hi,

How do you know which updates to run for a contributed module in update.php?

I'm seeing a drop-down like this:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
5100 (selected by default)
5101
5102
5103
5104

Does selecting 5100 mean the greater numbered updates will also be run?
