Drupal 4.7.x

We exported a site from a multi-site installation, and we want to set it up on a new server, does anyone have any recommendations on how to do that?

Requirements:

. Experience in design & coding of high-traffic websites, Content Management Systems, and web-based software . Solid Standards Compliant XHTML and Expert CSS skills with the ability to debug/solve cross-browser issues.
. Ability to work with table-less designs.
. Solid layout and typographical instincts . Smarty Templating Language . Understanding of CMS, Drupal 4.7, 5.0, JavaScript & PHP.
. Good UI design skills
. Good IA knowledge & practices
. Ability to slice and optimize images using Adobe CS Suite or Similar Suite
. Hands-on, front-end coding and management of corporate websites using Drupal

1. We are a company which serves a community since 1998 and we want to enhance our service offering a different online community / social networking platform.
2. The web platform: we use an ASP service, based on a very customized Drupal implementation to be able to manage multiple websites. You will notice some differences at the administrative area.

Hi friends,
I need to add the english language in my website, so i've installed the i18n module. Everythings goes fine, but when i try to change the language with the flags, i don't get the correct target. Here is an example of what is happening:
- i've created a node in spanish and it has the aliases: "node/378" -> "es/hola"
- i've translated that node in english with the aliases: "node/379" -> "en/hola"
- i hope when i'm in es/hola that clicking english flag i get "en/hola" but i get "en/node/378" and if i try it from the english node happen the same.

I'm planning on running an advent calander on my site for the run up to christmas. I have a few vendors who are happy to give my members discounts etc. on certain days and plan to put photos or hints and tips up on other days, but I'm wondering if there is something other than the calander which I can use to do this.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Is there a way to change the "post a new blog entry" link on the "my blog" page? I want to be able to control it through CSS, but I don't want to edit the

and
• styles. Is there a way to rewrite the page so that there's a class associated with
  and/or
  • ? Or is there an even simpler solution?

Hello,
we have a Drupal 4.7.5 running with 5 sub-sites.
First, I have a general question: can I upgrade directly to 5.3? If not, to which versions do I have to upgrade first?

Then, I would like to know the different steps to do for the uprade. I had a look on different topics adn in the Handbook but am not really sur how to do correctly.

I suppose it should be like followed:
1) login as URER #1
2) turn your sites to offline status
3) backup the sites and the databases
4) turn off all modules that are not core modules
5) switch to the Bluemarine theme
6) download and unzip the latest Drupal release to your computer
7) move your old drupal site to backup directory
8) upload the new version of Drupal to the same place where your old files were located
9) upload the new version of all your contributed modules. Make sure you have the write version matching with your new Drupal version
10) Copy the following files from your backup directory to the Drupal directory:
- .htaccess
- sites/default/setting.php
- any other files you need from the backup directory
11) turn on the modules
12) Run update.php (http://yoursite/update.php). This will update the default Drupal. Run it only once. Click on "run the database upgrade script" and update it
13) Turn on your theme
14) Test

Am I missing a step?
And how to know which are core moduels?
