Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.
I wonder if you could use CCK, Triggers, and Views to achieve the same thing in D6. I guess the big unknown is whether or not CCK and Views will be ready when D6 ships.
HorsePunchKid, because that would be a drastic overhaul of webform, that won't be in the initial release of webform for Drupal 6. The Drupal 6 version will be a port of webform 2.x branch, which is a rewrite to make 5.x and 6.x versions possible to maintain simultaneously.
For those wondering about Drupal 6 status, I've been working hard the past month to make webform possible on Drupal 6. Because webform has used the same convention for many versions of Drupal (since 4.4), the code has grown crusty and difficult to rig into the new Drupal 6.
I started the webform 2.x branch to help alleviate the problem. The 2.x version breaks theming functions and certain cases of additional processing/validation code, but opens the door to making Webform possible in Drupal 6. Webform is not yet ported to Drupal 6 (the 2.x version is still for Drupal 5), but those looking to upgrade to Drupal 6 in the coming months should try to upgrade to the 2.x version of webform in preparation for Drupal 6.
Timeline for Drupal 6 port: I don't have one as of yet. Most modules get ported when a certain need arises (my own or others). I'd like to the the 2.x branch completely stable and tested before branching for Drupal 6 to prevent me from having to fix bugs in 3 places (6-2.x, 5-2.x, and 5-1.x). Those interested in speeding the effort can help by testing and contributing patches for the 2.x branch of webform in Drupal 5.
I've committed mostly working Drupal 6 version of webform to HEAD in CVS. The only problem I'm currently aware of is that the sid column in the webform_submissions table is not yet set to auto_increment in the webform_update_6001().
I'm sure there are plenty of bugs and this is just a first stab at the upgrade. I'm going to be very busy this week leading up to DrupalCon, so I won't be able to work on it until after returning from DrupalCon (March 10). Anyone that wants to take a stab at cleaning it up, please do in the mean time. :)
Somehow updating went wrong somewhere. MySQL error. Fixed some "label" problem with the advice in comment 11 of this thread: http://drupal.org/node/101679
Webform is 100% working as far as I know for 6. I was having some trouble getting the release to show up on the project page however (see http://drupal.org/node/236884) even though I made the release some time last week. We got that sorted out though so it's now available!
Please open a new issue for all new problems with the 6.x version.

duntuk commentedthanks quicksketch for getting this to drupal 6.
Comment #9
duntuk commentedand want to add, the HEAD version works great on drupal 6.x ... webform 2.x so much more easier and intuitive then previous 1.x version
Comment #10
duntuk commentedspoke too early...

Comment #11
duntuk commentedok... the fix is to enable/install the development module...

splash112 commentedThanks, webform is doing again what it should do! Indeed with enabling the Devel module:
