Drupal Upgrade

Submitted by Lo Yuk Fai on Mon, 2008-09-15 20:58

The site was upgraded from Drupal 5.x to 6.x.

It was working fine and as a hindsight, there's no major need to upgrade. Except maybe, the "cool" factor of upgrading something.

I had to change the codes of the theme (box_grey) a bit so that it works for 6.x. But other than that, it's just some clicks here and there.

Also changed the location of the "files" directory as per suggested.

However, it seems that it may not be that "cool" afterall. Since 3 out of 4 contributed modules I use are still under heavy development for 6.x.

So there are some quirks now. But they should only affect the content creation process.

By the way, I also removed the Gallery install as I see no immediate use of it. The link now points to my Picasa Web Album instead.

2008-10-18: Official box_grey for 6.x

The developer of box_grey has released an official 6.x version. So I have dropped my poor patchwork in favour of his.
