Quoting Armin Medosch armin@easynet.co.uk:
Currently images are not shown by the image module and by image gallery though the images are still there and can be displayed by using the html img tag. I browsed the forums but there isn't really a good solution for that, is there?
I'm not familiar with these modules, are they DRUPAL-6 enabled? Have you tried emptying the tables with cache in the name?
these are the standard modules for working with images, the modules image, image gallery and image toolkit as well as image import are, I think drupal core optional. yes, they are drupal 6
They are pretty "standard", ok, but not core. They are contributed modules and the Drupal 6 version of http://drupal.org/project/image is still in "alpha". Its issues queue does contain bug reports for serious updating issues. Some have reported that "solved" these issues by wiping out their galleries and starting over.
So, it seems that your upgrade was a hasty move if your galleries were important. I you still have the backup of the database before updating you may want to go back and upgrade only to 5.7.
sorry, i do not understand "empyting tables with cache in their name". is this something I can do in drupal? or mysql? i can only do mysql on command line there is no web based tool for that on my host.
If you don't have phpmyadmin, then that meants running "TRUNCATE TABLE" on all tables containing "cache" in their names. But if you ran update.php after the update then that should have been mostly done.
meanwhile another issue came up. two modules, poormanscron and simplenews, keep showing up in the modules list with a red button with cross. it says "This version is incompatible with the 6.2 version of Drupal core." yes but i would love to deinstall them and install the new versions but it does not let me. I rm the modules but they keep showing with this red buttons in the error list. how can i get rid of them and get the new versions
Have you uploaded the 6.x versions and run update.php?
apart from those 2 all modules have bene upgraded to new versions regards Armin
the index.php on the start page displays a long list of error messages of the kind
warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in .../drupal-6.2/modules/cck/content.module on line 1096.
A minor nit. You can turn off the display by setting the PHP variable display_errors to 0.
this makes the messages go away but not the error?
IIRC this changed to a drag and drop function using javascript.
this was easy, thanks. sorry for not noticing something so stupid.
Another mistake which was partly my fault, partly due to unclear instructions about how to upgrade was that I first disabled all non core modules and only then backuped the data base which seems to have destroyed tables for some modules such as biblio and all content is gone. as this seems to affect mostly biblio I wonder if there is a way to extract only this table from an older backup of the data base and insert it into the current db. any instructuions on how to would have to be command line version as my server hosts dont offer phpmyadmin
You might want to open an issue against the documentation. Backup is the first step regardless. Also you should open an issue with biblio if all you did was to disable the module for the table to be removed. The table is supposed to remain until you choose the "Uninstall" tab.
I paste my status report below which looks fairly healthy given the problems which I encounter
The only thing I don't know is if you upgraded all your modules to the DRUPAL-6 versions. If not, they will not work.
