I am using Bio module in D5 and ready to upgrade to D6. I guess we need to use Content Profile module in D6. Is there any procedure or after upgrading to D6, just install Content profile module to take over bio module...? Please advise how can do that....Any links for the procedure we need to follow?

Comments

any help ?

Probably would have been easier to just try it than wait 2 months for someone to answer...

Bio and content profile both use regular node types. You should just be able to mark the node type you used as a content profile node. The only hiccup I can think of is if you used the bio provided node type. Since that's defined in code, that might go away when you upgrade. But giving a new node type the exact same machine name should pick up all the fields.
