Update some old modules

Posted by pharoh on August 31, 2012 at 5:38pm

I am taking over from another teams install and i have to upgrade some older modules but i need to first find out if they where modified or not. I have been trying to locate these few modules the exact versions not the branched updates to compare to. if anyone has these could they host or point me in the direction to obtain these exact copies.

  1. avatar selection 7.x-1.-dev | 2011-05-09
  2. fivestar 7.x-2.x-dev | 2011-05-09
  3. invite 7.x-2.x-dev | 2011-04-30
  4. private 7.x-1.x-dev
  5. references 7.x-2.x-dev | 2011-04-14
  6. xml sitemap 7.x-2.x-dev | 2011-06-20

Thanks.

Just use the Hacked module

Posted by nicoz on August 31, 2012 at 5:57pm

Just use the Hacked module http://drupal.org/project/hacked

This module scans the currently installed Drupal, contributed modules and themes, re-downloads them and determines if they have been changed. Changes are marked clearly and if the diff module is installed then Hacked! will allow you to see the exact lines that have changed.

Thanks

will this actually find the version that i am unable to find on the drupal site? i have been using beyond compare to compare files with the ones that i was able to download off the site and they are too different to tell what is a hack or not.

admin/reports/updates

Posted by fejn on August 31, 2012 at 10:05pm

admin/reports/updates (Administer >> Reports >> Available updates) calls out available dev versions if there are any for a particular module, & will mention if there are more recent dev versions than the one you are using.
Sorry if I'm mentioning something you've already tried -- I expect you have some special requirements that I'm not seeing.

Kind of......

I am actually aware of this already. Its just that the modules have been manipulated and some quite severely, so i need the original to see how much of the differences are modules based updates of manipulations so i can update them. I cant update now because i have no idea functionality of the site will break.

Fivestar/Voting API

Posted by fejn on September 5, 2012 at 9:53pm

Not familiar with most of the modules you are using, but Fivestar you report is over a year old for ~ the same version. Don't forget to get the Voting API module to work with it

Use git

Too bad you can't use the Hacked module. You could try building a new copy of your site, checking everything out from git, either via drush dl modulename --package-handler=git_drupalorg, or make an installation profile for your site and build it with drush make --working-copy. Then, copy the files from your current site on top of the files you build for your new site using rsync, and run git diff on the results. This will flag lines added by the previous team with a +, and new lines added to the module after you branched from it with a -. Lines the previous team removed will also be marked with a -, and lines removed from the module after you branched from it will also have a +, so there will be some room for confusion -- but it will be a start.
