DrupalED Update 5.12

I think its important to note here that you only want to import the database if you are installing DrupalEd for the first time, and that otherwise you want to run "update.php".

Thats all knowledge I have! I'll try creating a profile. I haven't experimented with it.
And about drupal 6 all the modules except daterange,views_fastsearch and buddylist have been updated.
Just figuring out how to get the original functionality to D6 from D5!
Stuck with personal_group and bookmarks! Where do I get them?

Can I get at least three people to test this upgrade, and report back in this thread?

I'd love to get this out as the 5.12 release -- Frank Ralf did some stellar work on earlier upgrades, but we were swamped with internal work and by the time we got the site installed there were already multiple other modules that needed upgrading.

RE the upgrade from D5 to D6 -- DrupalEd will definitely be overhauled for that upgrade. The Daterange and Views Fastsearch modules will likely not be upgraded to D6, as that functionality has been incorporated into other modules. Buddylist is a different story, and in D6 I will probably be looking to get lightweight buddylist functionality using the Flag module.

Also, in terms of a straight-up upgrade, the change from Views 1 to Views 2 will be substantial. There is a Views 1 to Views 2 converter that comes with views, but I haven't tried it recently so I can't vouch for it. I experimented with earlier versions, and the converted views generally needed some clean up afterwards.

One of the things on my to-do list is write up my notes on the D6 version of DrupalEd. My main goals for the D6 version are loosely organized around these three items:

1. A ground-up rewrite to make the base install leaner, and take full advantage of Views2 and CCK improvements. This will also include some rework to include the Embedded Media Field and Filefield modules.

2. Ways to have more community involvement in building and maintaining the profile. This definitely includes building out an install profile that is hosted on d.o, with multiple maintainers who have commit access.

3. Make a meaningful use of the drupaled.org domain -- all ideas welcome.

But first: can we get some testing love on Himanshu's work?

Cheers,

Bill

I have installed the updated D6 DrupalEd at
www.stxaviers.edu.in

I need volunteers who could further take the task of:

importing DrupalEd 5.6 views to D6.6
Exploit views and CCK to enhance drupalEd features.
Formulating new goals of drupalEd ( making it Social networking site in respect to school,university)
Giving more robust feature to Staff and authority to manipulate the official work.
Providing the school/University a new platform to present its culture.

user ID 1: admin
pass: pls contact me via mail (dont wanna make it public)
ftp,mysql pass: pls contact me!

Or you can register and I'll set all the permissions to use.

Porting DrupalEd to D6 should be the first priority of this group in order to get more out of drupal community who is tirelessly working on providing new features to this wonderful CMS/framework. Let us we all work together to get it on tracks of D6 and more and more features.
To avoid bloating this group with discussions we can create a discussion board for all our work! Pls put your views on it. ( I'll be creating it on http://himtuna.com/community/drupaled/)
Thanks
