I applied the D7 alpha 7 release which didn't go too well, so I decided to create a new alpha 7 instance and import the data into it. I moved over all the content tables... blocks, views, field data, node types, node tables, field config tables. Everything is 99% ok, the site looks like it did, I can access everything, my nodes are there, as are the blocks and views. The one odd thing that happened was that in the field_config_entity_type table, the new one had 1 as node and 2 as comment, whereas the older version was the reverse, and all the entity-id's for the fields was 2 (which they should be, having been created for nodes), so I changed node to 2 and comment to 1. The only issue I'm having, which is probably something small with a big result, is that even though all the field data is there, and the field data maps to the node entity type and the correct nodes, when I edit the node the field data is missing, and when I preview a view using those fields the field data is missing, but when I look at the field data in the db it's fine. One hint, though I haven't figured out the cause or correction, is that when I look at the sql generated by the view, it shows field_data_field_myfield.etid = 1 When I put that query in phpmyadmin, and change the value etid to 2, it comes back with data. I can't find where it's getting the value of 1 from. I did clear cache, and all the etid values for in the field config table are 2. Jeff
