Upgrading Drupal

Hi... search browsing the forums was not my friend so I'm asking what I figure is a pretty basic question

I am using WinScp to bring themes and other files from my local computer to locations on my server for various seperate drupal installations. (Though I have my own virtual server I don't know hardly anything about servers so, don't let that fool you !)

Each domain has a separate instance of drupal I believe...at least it has full and separate file tree I can see via the file manager and upload client.

If I upload a new name-theme folder into serveraddress/domain.com/themes folders my drupal installations find the available new theme and allows me to enable it in the appearance section of administration interface.

I understand however, that it is bad form for me to put non-core themes or themes I create into the domain.com/themes folder and that I should instead put theme into the the domain.com/sites/all/themes folder

When I do that however, the administration interface does not find the theme. If I go into the "Install New Theme" interface it either asks for a url or for me to upload from my own computer when that is not the method I want to add or remove files from my server.

I am guessing that I can use a relative path in the URL ?

what relative URL should I use (where am I starting ? )

I have a WISP Drupal install that uses MS SQL Server. Missing in the 7.16 install is the /includes/database/sqlsrv/ folder. So.... I'm using the OLD version (from 7.14, actually). Is this a non-standard folder? Do the fixes for the security issues need to be applied to these files? Are there database scheme changes that need to be applied to this folder as well?

so, I just got involved with a site running D5.5....is it safe to slingshot it all the way to current?

I have Mucho menu module installed and it dose not support jQuery 1.5 on D6, So I updated the jQuery module to latest 6.x-2.0-alpha1. Post upgrading ubercart payment process stopped working... i see a progress bar loading and never stops.

How to make both the modules work? could someone please suggest me to the correct path?

Thanks,
Anand

Hi there!
I have a problem related to the title of this post. I´ll try to be clear in the explanation of it. Hope someone can help me out.

Premises:

I´m trying to upgrade a big D6 site to D7.
I have the content profile module installed.
I have a few core profile fields that I need to keep.
The "profile" node that was created by the content profile module, has no fields in it. I just used in order to manage in a better way the theming and presentation of profiles.
I´ve installed Profile2 module. I´ve installed the profile page submodule that comes bundled with it.

My 2 problems:

1. I would like to export or convert all those core profile fields into the new entity fields in D7. How may I do that?

2. In the meanwhile (in case number 1 is just not possible at all), I´ve tried theming the profile2.tpl.php file, trying to print into it my old core profile fields.

I´ve followed the instructions to print those core profile fields, so I´ve harcoded this

print check_plain($account->profile_nombre);

into the template, but it doesn´t print the name of the user that´s inserted into the nombre field (core profile field). So, how may I theme the profile page?

Hi.
I have created shopping site with drupal 7 and ubercart. There is a problem with product comparision. I need to select some products and show its comparision in another page. I'm using bulk operation (ids passed as arguments to page). I have created two views first is product view (with bulk operation field) and second is selected items view (with contextual filter (nId)). It doesn't work, when i click on it, i'm redirecting to /cart, where added first selected item.
Please anyone help me.
Thanks.
