Hi

I am trying to upgrade a D6 site to D7. A number of things have gone on well, but there are some hiccups.
An example is with the image module. There isn't supposed to be a D7 version because of what are said to better alternatives in D7.

So what does one do with images & image galleries made with the image module? I read on the image project page the content_migrate module should be used together with "image legacy" module from GIT(?). After managing to migrate some OTHER content with the content migrate module, I had no idea where to get the image legacy module. I'm not conversant with "GIT".

After finding some issue referring to a D7 image module, I found a dev. version of it under "View all releases". Hoping this would help get back the images/gallery, I uploaded it.

I noted to my relief, that an "image legacy" module was also provided. Unfortunately, enabling the image gallery causes errors breaking the site.

I was hoping I'd find something under "Migrate fields" on the /admin/structure/content_migrate page after getting the image legacy module, but there's just "No fields are available to be migrated."

So how/where does one do the image module content migration???
There's hardly any documentation, and the little there seems to be for coders.

Any help will be appreciated, otherwise the alternative would be to go through each article & re-do images + have to manually make new galleries :(((

Regards

D7 image module is in core.

according to the image.module project page you should be using the FIELD convert.module to convert from image.module contrib to image.module in core. It doesn't state content_migrate. you don't mention having FIELD convert installed.

I suggest a reread of the image.module project page and any README.txt in the legacy image.module folder

I was about to install the field convert module & was told it's already installed.
I actually used the content migrate module to successfully convert some custom content types, but no success yet with this.
The image legacy module, which is the image folder has no separate readme file or other documentation.
So there's probably for non-coders no information/way on how to make use of this.

This error message "Fatal error:

Call to undefined function taxonomy_save_vocabulary() in /home/que1/public_html/abc/sites/default/modules/image/contrib/image_gallery/image_gallery.install on line 21"

pops up as soon as I enable the image gallery module ...

I hope I don't have to go through endless posts to manually insert images.
There might instructions somewhere that I may just not be finding.

I didn't dig but I'd compare the file dates in the image.module -dev you downloaded and the git repo dates http://drupalcode.org/project/image.git

if the git repo dates are newer, download the snapshot

i know you said you don't know anything about git, but the fact is you don't need to know anything about git. just how to download, extract and upload

otherwise, you should be working this out in the issue queue of the module in question with the subcommunity of users who may have also finished this task
