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

I've just updated a quite complex site from D5 to D6. To create the new database the update process described in the tutorials at drupal.org transfers all the content from the D5 installation to the D6 installation. CCK content gets transfered without any issue, views instead have to be converted from version 1 to version 2. In the new D6 site the old views can be found at the Views 2 UI at "Tools", under "Convert". There you can convert your Views 1 to Views 2, some of the them need readjustment after the conversion, but I got them all converted. The panels have also to be rebuilt if you use panels.
I got though the issue described in http://drupal.org/node/321154, and I solved it using one of the solutions described there.

Can you tell me were i find these tutorials ? You mean other than the "normal" upgrade instructions ?

Most important for me are the cck-content types with the taxonomy terms. other content is added fast.
Guten Tag, 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.
