I have installed 5.1 version of Drupal.

But most of the modules that i like are available only for 4.7.x

Is there anyway i can convert to 4.7.x from my 5.1 ?

Or it it possible to install new 4.7.x and use this same databse so that the posts are retained ?

Please Help.

Thanks,

There is no downgrade script. you would have to manually mess with the database to pull this off I think to maintain the posts.

Will it be possible to just make a new install of 4.7.x and put up this database as it is ?

Or is the Database Structure for 5.1 different from 4.7.x ?

no you can't use a 5.x database with 4.7.x files. The database is different yes

What are these modules? Perhaps there are 5.x development releases available for them that you can test?

The main module that i wanted is the Spread Firefox Affiliatre mod.
and it didn't have the 5.x version.

I tried to make it work with 5.x
but i had few problems.

Anyway, now i have changed back to 4.7.6

and one more thing, i got a theme named garland as default in 5.1
Is it available for 4.7.6 ?

Thanks,

There is not a formal release of Garland for 4.7 there is however a few who adapated the best they could, that can be found here http://drupal.org/node/92284

I don't believe the color picker is included as I don't believe it works out of the box with 4.7 without JQuery.
