Drupal 6

Hej,

hi.
we just upgraded from 4.7 to 6. very happy with D6 UI and now happy with calendar/views (after some struggling). 2 problems re: images.

1) in 4.7, we used the image module and embedded images using TinyMCE into nodes (events and stories). when i upgraded to 6 (and updated to the latest Image module, none of our image nodes are showing the old images. they are still all there on the server, and i can manually embed them with WSIWYG, but why wont they show up on their own nodes? (i have checked permissions, btw). please help!

Over the last week Twitter and Facebook users across New Zealand and the world, have been blacking out their avatars in protest of S92A, a change in New Zealand's copyright law that will require ISPs to disconnect any user accused of copyright infringement. No proof or evidence is required, just accusation. This is a terrible law for many reasons, which are well documented on CreativeFreedom.org.nz, and elsewhere.

The online protest stimulated and supported a physical protest in Wellington outside the Beehive (beehive.govt.nz is a Drupal website) (NZ's parliamentary buildings) last Thursday. It inspired others to follow-up with a website blackout event today, Monday 23 February. I already partially blacked out my blog last week, however this blackout will be more thorough than my website-decolouration or 'grey-out'.

I have created a Drupal module to help any Drupal websites owners quickly blackout their website, if they want to participate. Currently it's only a Drupal 6 module, however if anyone really wants it for their Drupal 5 website and doesn't have the technical skills to backport it, I may help out with this.

Hi Guys,

I was doing a review on the hooks provided by drupal 5 and drupal 6. Most of the hooks are same, except a few which i tried to put down in a document. I needed this to be able to port my custom modules to drupal 6 [i'm still using drupal 5]. So, I thought why not make a document of this and share with everyone else :) I have attached the document. The document contains only those hooks which are in either of the drupal installations and not both.

The major differences that i see in drupal 6 are:

1. Actions is integrated with the core.

Hello everyone,

The Boston sprint is dedicated to upgrading drupal.org's Drupal 5 platform to Drupal 6, in preparation for the redesign. During this week-long sprint at One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) offices in Kendall Square, Cambridge, MA, we plan to get a working upgrade path for the existing drupal.org databases, port the project infrastructure to Drupal 6, and implement Views, among other issues.

Please see the project issues list and email Susan MacPhee at susanemacphee@gmail.com to volunteer expertise on issues you can help resolve.

In your email, please include your level of time commitment, Drupal experience background, and which tasks you would like to help with.

If you have any questions, please contact Susan.

I'm interested in bulding a website for a real estate investor with Drupal 6.
www.netrift.com offers a property listing module for Drupal 6 called uListing.
See http://ulisting.netriftsolutions.com/ulisting/listing
Has anyone had any experience with it? Would you recommend it?

Thanks in advance for any feedback,

I'm setting up a website with Acquia Drupal for a non-profit club. It needs an Events Calendar. The latest release of Acquia Drupal uses Drupal 6.8 and the latest versions of Calendar and Date modules. I followed this recipe found at:
http://drupal.org/node/326061#comment-1077193 and set up the Events Calendar. It looks OK but has a major flaw.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I've finally started updating the Station module to Drupal 6. You can follow the issue here: http://drupal.org/node/250533

At this point the core station, catalog, playlist and program modules have been updated. I'm working on the schedule module right now and probably won't get going on the archive module for a little while.
