convert Book Review to CCK

I would like to do this as well. If I figure something out, I'll post here.

EDIT: It looks like this is under active discussion as people look at how to come up with a version for D6.

+1 for a bookreview drupal 5, or a CCK alternative.
please post your findings, very much interested.

greetings,
Martijn

First off, I'd like to thank Jeremy and everyone else who has worked on Book Review -- thanks for your hard work.

The things I need for a Book Review are fairly basic and I realized that adding an ISBN and Author CCK field would go a long way for my use of this Book Review.

So, for those of you interested in a conversion from Book Review to CCK for Drupal 5, I've written up the procedure that I used here: http://www.guusbosman.nl/article/2864.

In short: "On a technical level a book review is just a couple of text fields (author, ISBN number) combined with the standard Drupal text fields body and title. That makes it a great candidate for creating of a custom Node using Drupal’s Content Creation Kit (CCK).

Here is how I converted from module Book Review CCK using the excellent node_import module and custom MySQL statements to export book reviews to a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file."

I hope this is of help to someone. For those of you interested in a more elaborate set of CCK fields etc, please see http://drupal.org/node/283617 where folks are designing this for Drupal 6.

@guusbosman

Could you please make a patch for it?

Thanks in advance.

@humaneasy,

The conversion is done using the node_import module and custom MySQL statements.

When you're done with the conversion you will have a CCK implementation, and can delete the Book Review module from your site. So in that way there's nothing to patch -- it's a conversion to a different implementation.
