I've got a D5 site with several Content Taxonomy fields, upon upgrade all of the taxonomy data is missing.

Looking further into this, it appears that the fact that these fields are set to 'save as tag' means that the D6 version won't work with them. I've had a dig in the issues list but can't find any reference to a workable approach.

Have I missed something? is there an upgrade path for this within the module? or do I need to migrate the data in some other way?

cheers.

update:

Having read this post: http://drupal.org/node/795466

part of the issue was that none of my vocabs in D5 were associated with the content type I was using. editing each vocab and selecting the appropriate content type resulted in the terms appearing again.

however, the nodes won't now save with the new data, as soon as I try and save it complains that nothing is selected. hmm.

Please keep us posted on this; I am also in the process of upgrading a site from Drupal 5 to 6 and have found that the upgrade path loses certain Content Taxonomy data fields for me as well.

the script embedded in this discussion provides a solution, but it's an all or nothing approach. Wouldn't be hard to adapt though:

YMMV.
