Importing conctents from another site which is on version 6

Posted by freemp on January 17, 2013 at 10:32pm

Hi everybody.
First excuse me for my english which is not very good.

I explain you my problem: i have 2 internet websites: the first is on drupal 6 and the second on drupal 7.
I would like to import my content datas from my drupal 6 to my drupal 7 and I just want to know which tables contains "content" (article & pages) datas.

Indeed I made the transfer manually, i have taken my drupal 6 node_ tables, I adapted them by changing a little their structures for drupal 7 and it first worked (i could see my contents on my drupal 7 version) but there had sometimes warning messages, so i guess that i didn't make my export properly.

So, to sum up, i would like to know which tables on drupal 7 contains the content? Which tables I have to modify on drupal 7 by importing datas from 6 to be SURE to have a perfect transfer.

Thank you!!!!

Importation with Drupal is

Posted by Jaypan on January 18, 2013 at 12:00am

Importation with Drupal is best done by generating the data (ie a node) in the source Drupal installation, converting it to JSON or XML (or some other like format), and then export it. You then create an import script on your new installation, which parses that data and saves it using API functions.

This saves having to look directly at database tables.

I dont understand how you generate the datas in the source drupal installation?

In fact I didn't understand anything :S
How can I generate datas in the source Drupal installation (i'm a big novice with Drupal!)

afaik migrate module / feeds module can handle this kind of imports, if the structure of the node is not complex it might work oob.

You can do as jay suggested using the views_export or views_datasource modules to export the data and feeds to import it on the other site.

And the migrate module will also work along with the migrate_d2d module.
