Upgrade Millennium Module to 6.x

Great! Be sure to tell me how you're coming along.

I just installed coder module and a D6 instance (i was just being lazy). Perhaps this will be easy =)

Below is a snapshot of all that needs to be fixed...

first i just enabled 5.x to 6.x in coder module

then i tought, i would have to use code style and WOW there are an incredible count of mistakes

i fixed definitve not all, but the author should read defintive read about http://drupal.org/coding-standards

patch to cvs head

I admit I made this module without knowing about coding standards; I know better now =)

This looks like early christmas!! Thanks a lot for your hard work. Will test soon!

@dereine: for some reason you patched agains a very, very old version of the module. Probably I did something wrong to mantain HEAD (to me the updated branch is DRUPAL-5 and not HEAD)... this was my first project and a number of things have been/are still wrong =|

Your help is deeply appreciated! Can you help me figure out this?

yes thats definitive the problem

i checked out the current head of the module so....

can you tell me how to check out a specific version? i forgot it

That's

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib
cvs login
cvs checkout -d [local-directory-name] -r DRUPAL-5 contributions/modules/millennium

I have just updated HEAD. So you can also start from that now =)

port has to wait for biblio module...

Beta of Biblio for D6 is available:
http://drupal.org/node/277712

Ooops =) Right.

Perhaps it is still possible to test Biblio 6 in a test environment and proceed with the port; when Biblio 6 is released Millennium 6 can too...

Could be useful to create a new 6.x branch in the CVS. Is it possible?

@greggles . Are you working with the porting? If not I can play with the Coder module this weekend :D

I will try to make the module compatible with CCK, so we don't necessarily have to wait for the Biblio module. Began working on this today... hopefully a preliminary dev version might be ready this week =)

I have a working module for D6; I'm still pondering whether removing biblio dependency is enough to warrant a change into a "2.x" version, which will probably have support for CCK and Biblio (when/if it comes out). Any thoughts? =)

Oh BTW the 6-dev version will probably become available by tonight or tomorrow morning.

Testers are MOST welcome!

Ok, si I went and did it =)

The new version for D6 will be 2.0. The dev version is available now from this url:

http://drupal.org/node/333101

This is a currently working (bug free?), albeit non-optimal, version for D6.

UPGRADING INSTRUCTIONS
* If you are upgrading your site to D5 and D6, CURRENTLY there is NO DIRECT upgrade path, since
the Biblio module is not yet ready for production. An option is to "simply" re-import all your nodes from Millennium using the manual queue option in /admin/settings/millennium/queue_add

CHANGES FROM version 5.x-1.4
* New field added to millennium_node_opacitem table (must run update.php if you're upgrading your site from D5 to D6!)
* Now you need to specify a Content Type to import records into, in admin/settings/millennium. Your imported items inherit the workflow settings for that Content Type (e.g.: Promoted to home page, Published, Stickyness)
* Removed dependency on Biblio module. For now biblio data is written into the node's body and teaser; this will be changed to either the node body or mapping to CCK fields.
* New general.pot file for translation
* Added a link to the MARC version of item
* A lot of code cleanup

A demo is available at: http://prod68ws.ruv.itesm.mx/dev/6/

@greggles: done!
