I started messing around with Drupal this evening, and as usual it managed to consume my night too, keeping me up way too late. Most of the time was spent looking into what it might take to migrate my work site from 4.7 to 5.1. Using a local copy of the database, I installed the 5.1 files and ran the update script. I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to upgrade the core components and database. But I'm not nearly done… The site makes heavy use of the flexinode module to create custom content types. Unfortunately, flexinode isn't yet supported in 5.x. If converting the flexinode-based content can be done easily, I'd just assume migrate everything over to CCK. I'm beginning to fear it won't be too easy though. I haven't looked into which of the other modules the site uses have been ported to 5.1, but flexinode is by far the most important. If I can get that figured out, I'm as good as done. I also noticed that my theme for this site doesn't render correctly in IE(7).
It looks like this: when it should look like this: . I hope it's an easy fix. Easy or hard, I'm not doing it tonight!
