Upgrading Drupal

Hi,

I am getting drupal core update status. I am currently using drupal 6.19 and recommended to upgrade it to drupal 6.25. As this is my first time doing this, I need to know if there are any easier way to do this. I do not know whether it's a good idea to run drupal-6.19-to-6.25.patch or go the long way which is
1. back up the whole drupal folder as well as the database,
2. download and install drupal 6.25 on top of drupal 6.19
3. run http://localhost.update.php and hope this would work.

Hi,

How can I apply a 7.x theme on site developed with drupal 6.x, need I to convert to 7.x before? What the process to do this?

I currently am upgrading drupal from 6 to 7. I am having troubles upgrading the custom theme. Looking at the documentation I see that to render a page now i need to instead call:

print $page;

I need to call

print render($page);

Doing this however is not working for me. I have to dig into the array to make it render properly. Getting the main content to render I end up having to do this:

print render($page['content']['system_main']['main']);

However I am concerned that I'll be missing other stuff in the page array. Is there something that I am missing to get this page array constructed correctly?

Here is essentially an over view on how im constructing the page array:

products.module

products_menu(){
$items = array();
.....
$items['products/new'] = array(
        'title' => 'Browse New Products',
        'page callback' => 'products_browse_new',
        'access arguments' => array('access content'),
        'file' => 'products.new.inc',
        'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
);
}
...
function products_theme(){
...
     'products_results_table' => array(
            'template' => "products.results_table",
            'variables' => array('products' => NULL),
            'path' => $path,
        ),
...
}

products.new.inc

Hi guys, i have a question about migrating data. im have a 6.19 install and im going to install 7.12 this week end. i have been searching all day and yesterday for a good way to move my Content i created on the 6.19 install. i can't find where they are stored on the file architecture of Drupal. i checked the Node module and didn't see anything that resembled my data. could some one please tell me how to get my Content off the old install and move it to the new install of drupal?
