listandhighlightnodes() <-- familiar function name?

I'm in the process some sites for someone from 4.6

Most everything is a big, big mess. But that is a different story. I'm curious about the function "listandhighlightnodes()" that occurs in a number of places throughout the website, primarily in the page.tpl.php file.

I searched here on drupal.org and also with Google, but can't really track down what module they might relate to (if it is even a Drupal module). So far I've had to comment them out everywhere I find them.

sql upgrade problem

hi,

my provider yesterday upgraded Mysql from 4.0.25 to version 4.1.19 without informing me.
Now all special characters in the content are broken and, more important, all inline images have disappeared.
Is there a way to fix this again without downgrading or else ?

thank you very much,
Domini

bringing zombie site back to life

I'd done an upgrade to Drupal 4.7 fine. However, I had upgraded to CiviCRM head, and needed to back off to CiviCRM 1.5. I switched the software in modules/civicrm, and the site started having troubles showing any CiviCRM pages. I'm not sure what happened next, but I was unable to get any pages to load.

I'm not sure how to get the site back up. Here are some of the things I have tried:
I thought it was because some blocks enabled on all pages were using Views / CiviNode / and CiviCRM, so I turned off relevant blocks in the db in blocks (noting which ones I turned off).

How to export from Import_export.module (Drupal 4.6) to import with Node_import.module (Drupal 4.7):

How to export from Import_export.module (Drupal 4.6) to import with Node_import.module (Drupal 4.7):
You can now export nodes from Drupal 4.6 with import_export.module from different types of nodes to Drupal 4.7 using node_import.module, especially tested from Flexinode in Drupal 4.6 to CCK in Drupal 4.7.

To be able to export properly you can choose the default values of delimiters after this patch, in the second page of the CSV export wizard.

Select only the fields which already exists in your updated Drupal 4.7

Attachment/Upload problem with Flexinode -> CCK Migration for 4.7.3

I'm in the process of upgrading a rather large production site from 4.6.2 to 4.7.3. Most everything has gone smoothly, except for my attempt to migrate my custom content types from flexinode to Content Construction Kit (CCK).

I have one content type in particular that typically had files attached to it, and while I was able to get all of the basic data from the flexinode tables in the db copied over to the new CCK table (and also copied the files table and all files), attachments for this content type are not showing up. In other words, everything on the nodes appears correctly, but the "attachments" list does not appear (and the attachments are not listed in edit mode, either).

Here are some more potentially relevant facts:

-- I'm just using the core Upload module
-- The files folder has all of the necessary permissions
-- When I create a new node of this particular content type (or any other), attachments are added and viewed without a problem
-- I've had to do most of my updating of database tables manually (i.e., I did a clean install of 4.7.3 and then just imported data from the old database as needed), so it's possible/likely I missed something somewhere (but I certainly can't find where!)

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? If I just knew how/where Drupal (or whatever the relevant module is...I'm not a programmer, and just get lost when looking at the Upload module) searched the database to identify whether or not a node has file attachments, that could be helpful.

Upgrading with a clean install but keeping image galleries

I am currently running an old version of Drupal but wish to upgrade to the latest version. I am planning to make a clean install of everything.

However, I would like to keep my image galleries. I am using the Image module and I see that it's been revised lately. I have a bunch of different galleries with a total of about 200 images.

How can transfer my old galleries and images to the new image gallery module?

Many thanks!
