How to achieve tagnode like functionality in 5.x?

In our 4.6.x deployment, we used a combination of tagnode & flexinode to create "magazine issues" that were containers for the articles that appeared in that issue. For example, the "March 2007" issue contains articles March1,March2,March3... Then the April issue would contain a similar collection of articles that appeared in it. Then thanks to a custom template, when the March issue is selected -- along with its cover graphic, would appear a list of the articles that appeared in it.

Safest upgrade path from Drupal 4.7.3 to 5.1?

Hello,

I recently took over a drupal site configured this way:

Centos 4.4
mysql-server-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1
php.i386 4.3.9-3.22.3
php-mbstring.i386 4.3.9-3.22.3
php-mysql.i386 4.3.9-3.22.3
php-pear.i386 4.3.9-3.22.3

Drupal 4.7.3, one installation for several websites (each one has its own /var/www/html/drupal/sites/ subdirectory and separate
MySql database)

Fatal Error: Class 'cpm' Not Found

I've searched just about everywhere and I can't figure out what could be causing this. I just attempted to upgrade to 5.1 from 4.7 and I'm getting the following bizarre error:

Fatal error: Class 'cpm' not found in /home/.eros/nautis/lassiter91.com/includes/common.inc(1342) : eval()'d code on line 4

Upgrade from 4.6.11 to 4.7.6

Hello!

I am upgrading from Drupal 4.6.11 to 4.7.6.
What is the right procedure? I just followed the standard one: back up everything, removed old files (4.6.11), copied new ones (4.7.6), run update.php and a lot of queries failed like:

- Failed: CREATE TABLE {search_total} ( word varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', count int(10) unsigned default NULL, PRIMARY KEY word (word) )
- Failed: ALTER TABLE {blocks} DROP path
- Failed: ALTER TABLE {blocks} ADD visibility tinyint(1) NOT NULL
- Failed: ALTER TABLE {blocks} ADD pages text NOT NULL

Seems like some of these updates in 4.7.6 has been already applied in 4.6.11, so I tried to access one of my sites (I run 4 sites from the same code base) and I got this error:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function block_list()

Then I followed this discussion and rebuilding my system table helped to eliminate this error, but I still get only the site title, "Page Not Found" error and an error that "column theme does not exist in table 'blocks' ". Seems like database was not updated properly.

So, questions:
1. May I update directly from 4.6.11 to 4.7.6 or I have to go step by step through each version in between (4.7.0, 4.7.1, etc)?
2. May I just copy files in /sites folder from 4.6 to the sites folder of 4.7? They look very similar, I just copied. Could it be the reason?

Drupal successfuly updated but I still have warnings

Hi everybody,

I just installed the Update Status module to keep my site up to date. It told me that some modules was out of date and the Drupal core was the version 5.0 and not 5.1 (I thought I has the 5.1 core... seems not).
So i decided to update all this stuff... No problems with the modules, but the Drupal core update has been more complicated.
