Links in admin settings configurations options not were available after upgrading

After upgrading Drupal from 5.22 to 6.16 links in settinga configurationa were visible but not clickable. I was looking for a solution on this forum, but I did find nithing to resolve my problem. Therefore I started the search problem itself and in my case I found it in the sites/all/modules.
The first I am disable and erase all the module from the sites/all/modules, then I upgraded again Drupal 6.16 and finally adding modules one after the other. In this way, I came to "blame" module Lightbox2 6.x-1.9. This module was the cause of that problem!

Status report and Themes show 6.12 after upgrading to 6.16

Hey,
I upgraded from 6.12 to 6.16 and followed the steps outlined in the handbook. The status report and the version on the theme page still shows 6.12. I checked the changelog and system.module and they show 6.16. I ran update.php, cleared cache tables and run cron.

Any idea as to what might be the problem.

Help is appreciated.

Thanks.

5.x to 6.x upgrade issue

I have been testing drupal 5 (existing site) upgrade to 6 on my local wamp server for several days now. I am getting closer to feeling comfortable, but am still receiving errors. To get to this point, I have to delete 5.x cache tables and install clean 6.x cache tables, run ALTER TABLE url_alias ADD language varchar(12) NOT NULL default ''; on sql for a missing language in url_alias, and finally remove 'cache_form' table, Also did not install the search tables (due to there size - I dont mind re-index)(and I did turn off all modules and change theme to garland before backing up 5.x database).

Once I run the update.php (twice) the site (without any other added modules running) seems to be fine. Should I be worried about the bellow errors, or ....? If these errors dont mean anything, my next step is to load all the modules and see how that goes, re-design site.. do all over again on servers test folder.

Thanks in advance,

* user warning: Duplicate column name 'language' query: ALTER TABLE url_alias ADD language varchar(12) NOT NULL default '' in C:\wamp\www\0328_130\modules\system\system.install on line 1275.

node tpl causes wrong page tpl to load

This is a mystery to me. I have a page.tpl.php and page-front.tpl.php file. Both are working properly as long as there is no node.tpl.php in the theme. When I include a node.tpl.php in the theme folder, then visit the home page, it no longer uses page-front, and instead it shows me a list of all the content in teaser form, using the page.tpl.php. This site is an upgrade from Drupal 5.

Any thoughts?

thanks,

Safely edit a module

Hi all,

I am pretty new to Drupal and wondering what is the best way to edit a module so that it displays fields from a database in a different order.

I am literaly going to change order by .... to a different field thats it. So i am wondering what is the best way to safely change this module and ftp it to replace the existing module on the live server without affecting the live site.

thanks in advance
