Do pre 5.x modules work on 5.0 server?
paradesi - January 28, 2007 - 08:53
Hi,
I'm not able to see once i load the Announcement module which also require following modules:
bounced_email.module
html2txt.module
identity_hash.module
publication.module
templates.module
schedule.module
subscribed.module
But none of them are not visible in modules list.
Can point me any fix for this if pre 5.0 modules are not suuported on 5.x servers.
Thanks
Updating modules
I've fixed a bunch of pre 5.0 modules and they require a fair bit of work each to update. You'll have to either contact the individual module maintainers or possibly hirer someone to fix these for you. If you know any coding, a good page to look at is:

Is there any plan to fix this compatibility issue?
Hi,
Thank you for the reply. I'm not a programmer. Could you let me know if there is plan to fix this compatibility issue. Looks like some of the functionality or features cann't be ported to 5.x until it is fixed.
Could you let me know how to remove the above modules including database entry from 5.x server.
Thanks
Removing Modules
If the modules don't show up on your modules page you can just delete them from the modules folder. Otherwise look at the .install file to see which tables were created and first uninstall the module then delete these tables.

where can i see the .install file?
Could you point me where can i find the .install file?
Thanks
.install file
The .install file should be in the same directory as the module. It's an optional file that instructs Drupal on how to install (and update) the database tables for a module. If it isn't there, then there are no database tables necessary for that module, and you can just uninstall it. Of course, if you have been instructed to manually install the database tables, then you probably remember doing that, and will know which tables to drop.
As usual, before making any modifications to your database, make a back-up first.
