Meta information regarding porting COD to Drupal 7

http://groups.drupal.org/node/138619

Basic Steps for porting:

1. Install D6 COD
2. Install separate instance of D7 core
3. Grab a feature and start recreating it in D7
4. Once recreated, export it as a feature of the same name into a git checkout of cod_support, overwriting the feature of the same name
5. Find the appropriate upgrade issue in the cod_support issue queue
6. Post a patch to this issue

Installing COD-6.x on your localhost machine:

Prerequisites: git 1.7, drush 4.4 or 4.5, drush_make 2.2+

1. Install Drush:
    $ git clone --branch 7.x-4.x http://git.drupal.org/project/drush.git
2. Install the Drush Make extension: within ~/.drush/commands/, type:
    $ cd .drush
    $ git clone --branch 6.x-1.x http://git.drupal.org/project/drush_make.git
    $ cd drush_make
    $ git checkout tags/6.x-2.2
3. Setup your folder structure: (Note: this is to store the D6 and D7 versions of COD)
    $ cd ~/Sites/ (or wherever you usually setup your localhost sites)
    $ mkdir cod
4. Get the COD Profile:
    $ cd ~/cod/
    $ git clone --branch 6.x-1.x http://git.drupal.org/project/cod.git cod6
        Note: last param defines the new subdir to create for this dev install of cod
5. Switch into your cod6 directory and run the cod-dev.make
    $ cd ~/cod/cod6
    $ drush make cod-dev.make (requires two "y" confirmations)
        Note: this should download Drupal core as well as all of the modules you need to install COD
6. Go to your actual Drupal install in your browser and at /install.php you should be able to choose the Conference Organization Distribution

Basic things you need for getting started with COD-7.x on your localhost machine:

Please use the up-to-date instructions at http://groups.drupal.org/node/242338

1. Install core Drupal-7.x-1.x
    $ cd <webroot>
    $ git clone --branch 7.x http://git.drupal.org/project/drupal.git cod7
        Note: at the time of writing nothing has been committed to the 7.x version, it is currently inline with the 6.x version
2. Install the following:
  * Ctools (suggest ctools-7.x-1.x-dev)
  * Views (suggest views-7.x-3.x-dev, dev version aligns with ctools dev)
  * Strongarm (suggest strongarm-7.x-2.0-beta2)
  * Features (suggest features-7.x-1.0-beta2)
  * Signup
  * Admin
  * Commerce
3. Check the various cod_support upgrade issues for any patches to apply to the cod_support modules that have already been upgraded

COD Sprint suggested priority issues:

Main initiative: Port COD Support features to Drupal 7
Most of the magic of COD is encapsulated within a series of features bundled in the cod_support package. The low hanging fruit for getting things ported is to make sure all the same features exist and have all the same items in them as the Drupal 6 version. Features are pretty easy to port, so we're making it the main objective of our sprints to port these features first.

cod_base
cod_community
cod_events
cod_front_page
cod_news
cod_session
cod_session_video
cod_sponsors

General key features:

These Features-related issues cause diffs of COD Features to be full of junk:

  • Node timestamps cause nodes to appear overidden - http://drupal.org/node/1008496
  • Line breaks cause objects to appear overridden - http://drupal.org/node/920660 - Fixed by pifantastic
