Hi everybody!
I'm trying to update some mysql queryes from "classic syntax" to D7-syntax.
Is more difficult than i tohught, so i'm here to ask for an help with those queryes.
If you use the Drupal 8 'Extend' page to manage modules, and enable anything, or even just allow the default profile to turn things on for you (the usual case) the module checkboxes are disabled. You cannot turn 'optional' things off.
It's not due to it being required by a dependency or anything, the checkbox is simply locked on, with no explanation of why you can't use it. The checkbox is still there, taunting you with its permanently on status. You want to turn off "Comment" because you are not going to use it? Too bad sucker!
I am running a website on behalf on an organisation. It is flagging that I need to update from v6.26 to 6.3.
I don't want to to upgrade to D7 but I am still nervous about running this update (I am inexperienced at this).
Any advice or pointers to advice about how best to manage this process will be very welcome (I am not even sure how to do backups on the server I am working on - but I can ask them about that).
Worst case: is it reasonably safe to simply run the update or could I break my site? What are the risks? What is changed by the update?
I'm trying to upgrade to D7 and Commerce. I've taken over a Drupal 6 site with an Ubercart shopping cart that has been -heavily- modified with Userpoints and a custom theme.
Long story short: I switched to Garland, moved everything to a backup, ran the update, it gave me a basic D7 update. OK. Now, I start adding back modules one by one and it's going along -OK- but at some point, I got a one-off error (I think after upgrading CTools) when hitting the Enable button. Didn't worry too much.
My Web host dropped support for PHP 5.2 before I had a chance to upgrade to a version of Drupal that supports PHP 5.3. My site is now seriously broken, and more seems to break every day, though my Web host swears nothing else has changed. Starting today, people can't start new forum topics, but yesterday they could. Why??
I'm fairly desperate to find a way to upgrade to a version of Drupal that runs correctly with PHP 5.3, but the site is so severely damaged now that I don't know how to do it. I'm sure the upgrade script itself won't run correctly.
