Unofficial Long Term Support Groups

There are a lot of D6 and even D5 sites in the wild which can't necessarily be upgraded in a timely manner. Historically, Drupal is not famous for creating workable upgrade paths from one point release to the next for various reasons, not the least of which being the drastic differences in how core is written and the contrib environment that grows up around these changes. This adds considerable expense to upgrading an old site, because you essentially have to spec the whole thing out fresh, build, deal with migration, and finally go through user training all over again.

I'm looking for Drupal 5 hosting and support

Hello,
Our current developer is no longer supporting Dupal 5 and they no longer helping us with hosting, maintenance and support in the very near future.
Are there any businesses that offer both hosting and support?
Thank you!

Drupal 5 download file to user's PC

I have a page which consists of a table of data and a form on the very bottom of the page. This form consists of just one button. On pressing the button drupal creates a file and saves it on the server. Is it possible to transfer this file to user's PC by asking him for the place to save it to? Or it'd be even better if I could somehow save the created file on user's PC right away, without saving it on the server.

Thanks in advance :)

Host server update ...

My host server is upgrading to PHP 5.3.x and MySQL 5.5.x - my Drupal install is 5.1 (yes, I know ...) - will this version support the PHP and MySQL upgrade ?

I really can't face having to update all my modules if I have to upgrade Drupal to 6x or 7x !

Fix Nicemenu CSS issue

i have inherited a Drupal 5 site (which is being redeveloped by someone else ) with a nasty nicemenu dropdown which doesn't want to behave as it should. The base theme is Bluemarine with a new region coded to accept a custom nicemenu at the top. I think the css is broken and don't have time for this. Beer money $5 for someone to look at it for me.

Keeping Drupal 6 sites going with PHP 5.4 and beyond…

Drupal 6 and PHP 5.3: The Docs

I've been re-reading the Drupal "System Requirements" page and ruminating over my recent home-sprints, where I've updated my own modules for the latest Drupal and backported any new code to earlier versions of Drupal. I'm keeping some of my Drupal 5 modules alive simply because it's easy to do, and it makes an interesting reference point to see the evolution of Drupal across different releases.
