Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
Is it possible to migrate / upgrate a Drupal Commons 6.x-2.10 site to Drupal Commons 7.x-3.0?
Which is the best way to do it?
This question is for a future planning to move my Commons 6.x-2.10 site but it can also be useful for test the beta of Drupal Commons 7.x-3.0 with my real data.
One constraint: most of my Drupal Commons 6.x-2.10 user authenticate through LDAP while others are local Drupal users
Thank you
Andrea

juan_g CreditAttribution: juan_g commentedUntil a possible Commons D6 -> D7 upgrade path, for now there is the new module Drupal-to-Drupal data migration, based on Migrate. Some info:
Drupal-to-Drupal data migration - Part 1: The basics
Drupal-to-Drupal data migration - Part 2: The architecture

jessehsGiven that the schema for the D6 Commons is known, it seems like an approachable task to create a set of migration classes that can port (much of) an existing Commons site to the new platform.
I'm marking this as a feature request.
It would also be great if anyone could post some documentation, if they have had experience using the D2D module to port a Commons site from 6 to 7.

We have a decently active corporate internal Commons 6 now but eager to get to Commons 7 as D7 is so much nicer and we really like the layout and features of Commons 7 too.

japerryYou can get updates by checking out this sandbox:
http://drupal.org/sandbox/nateswart/1946220
Quick details:
- using wizard_api branch of migrate
- extending migrate_d2d classes
- some updates made to wizard_api to handle encrypting stored db credentials
- added ability in wizard_api to mark desination fields as DNM in UI
Marking postponed until that work is done. Luckily there is a bunch of active work going on, but we don't have any concrete timelines yet.
