Drupal 4.7.x

Are drupal 4.x themes an easy transition to drupal 5.x, or is there a lot of alteration necessary?

I have one drupal 4.7, community-like web where users can log in.

I've just built a second site on an drupal 5.7 and I want its users to be able to login against the first db.

I'm using db_set_active() for the login and it works fine but then the problem is how do I check whether a user is anonymous or not in this second site, because $user->uid will return 0...

Can anybody point me in the right direction on how to work this? I'll do the reading afterwards but I'm not sure what to search for.

Thx.
Agucho.

Hi all,

I'm fairly new to Drupal, getting the hang of it.
I've decided to setup a test and production server. At this time, both are quite empty. As I still expect 1 month or so before I roll out my first production version.

My only concern has to do with DB syncing.

What needs to be done when "upgrading" my prod db from my test db.

The test db might have new features etc.. but the prod db has new/deleted users, content etc...

Any tips?

Hi,

I'm developing a planning calendar system. b/c of our necessity for a week-view function, we're forced to use drupal 4.7 until the next version of calendar comes out.

everything is running properly, the problem is theming the calendar properly. I've been working on solving this for a few months now, but am ready to just get this portion of the project over with so that i may move on.

full description of the project/problem here: http://drupal.org/node/224401

I've been running a 4.7.x site for quite some time now and I would love to be able to start fresh from an application standpoint without losing my actual content. What I'm wondering is, can I set up a 6.X site then just import the data (Stories, ForumPosts, Images) from the old site?

Thanks in advance

Hi. I have a 4.7.2 site running multiflex which was installed using fantastico. It looks like the site was hijacked and a phishing site was set up. I'm assuming it is because of security vulnerabilities on the site, so I want to upgrade to 4.7.11

Is there a general or specific article on how to upgrade?

Clearly, I want to back up things before upgrading. Is that as simple as copying the drupal directories, applying the upgrade (how?), and seeing if things worked?

Thanks
