Just upgrade as described in the upgrade instructions for Drupal core and CCK and your content should be there. Make a backup in advance and test first.

You probably heard instructions on how to get content from another site our external source into your Drupal site, where you could indeed use a csv file and some import module, but for a normal upgrade its not needed.

The main thing that will not upgrade is your views. You will have to remake them in Views 2 in Drupal 6. But it's worth it as views 2 is so much more flexible and is a lot easier to theme. For simple views there is a views 1 importer in views 2, but I prefer to remake all views because views 2 is better organised so you can reduce the number of views a lot by restructuring them.

Guten Tag Support Support,

hi, i want to upgrade one site from D5 to D6.
Most things i have to do i think i know, but how do i get my content
from D5 to D6 ?
i'm using cck and views and yesterday i hoeard something about
"import/export-api" modul to create a , maybe csv-file with my content
and import them in D6 after i create all necessary fields.

but is there a way, that handles this quite easier ?

regards simpsonetti
