This page is a stub for collating automated theme upgrade steps.
You'll want to run these sed commands over (the copy of) your old d6 themes and then do a diff to make sure nothing is broken.
Please edit this page to refine the steps you have taken.
If your theme is derived from a classic drupal theme, carried forward into drupal 7, then diff3 is a useful tool:
f=style.css
a6=~/antarqld.org.au/sites/all/themes/ANTaRQld2
g6=~/antarqld.org.au/themes/garland
g7=~/copyc.antarqld.org.au/themes/garland
a7=~/copyc.antarqld.org.au/sites/all/themes/a3
cd ~/tmp
cp $a6/$f a6.$f
cp $g7/$f g7.$f
cp $g6/$f g6.$f
# MYFILE OLDFILE YOURFILE
diff3 -m a6.$f g6.$f g7.$f > a7.$f
echo "Now you need to edit a7.$f and then:"
echo " cp a7.$f $a7/$f To do some automated search and replaces, sed is useful:
s|<body(.*)>|<body\1> <?php print $page_top; ?>|
#$search_box is now a block.
/$search_box/d
s|\$primary_links|$primary_menu|g
s|\$secondary_links|$secondary_menu|g
s|\$left|$sidebar_first|g
s|\$right|$sidebar_second|g
s|</body>|<?php print $page_bottom; ?></body>|Thanks to http://drupaldome.com/how-convert-your-drupal-6-theme-drupal-7-theme for the initial pointers.
