I'm upgrading a Drupal 5 site to a Drupal 6 site. It's become obvious that we need to go ahead and dump the event module and go to a date/calendar solution. However, we have a number of events that are already created using the events module.

So I created a new node type that has a date field (includes a start time as well as an optional to time).

I went to the import page, clicked onto the event page, and then told it which node type to import from and which to import into. Then I hit the Submit button.

It thinks for a moment and then that's it. Nothing appears to have been done?

I just got done committing a bunch of fixes to Content Copy and I suspect Date Copy will need similar fixes, so this is a TODO.

Thanks. I'm looking forward to moving away from the event module. It just makes sense since we already use the Date module on other node types and we use cck quite a bit.

I need more information about what you're trying to do so I can replicate your problem:

1) What version of the Event module are you importing from -- the original version or the new 5.2 version?

2) Are you trying to keep the original nodes by adding your date fields to the Event type or creating completely new nodes in a different content type and deleting the old event nodes? I suggest doing the first since your event nids won't change and any links that were created to those events will still work.

5.x-1.0

I can't recall which way it was that I was trying. I'm about to try an upgrade on the newest version of the site, as we made a bunch of changes and cleaning to prep for the actual upgrade. I'll make sure I do it using the first option and see what I get.
