Drupal-6.9 modules
hychanhan - February 7, 2009 - 05:26
Hi,
I am using drupal-6.9 version.
Do you know why drupal-6.9 version has a few modules?
I mean that when i need a module to install, the most of those are for drupal-5.x.
It seems to me that drupal-6.9 doesn't have a few modules.
So this is making me very difficult to develop.
:(
How can i do?
Thanks,
ChanHan Hy
Versions of core and modules have to be alike
Dear ChanHan Hy
I understand that you would like to install some usefull modules. But beware. You can only install modules that are developed for the according version of Drupal.
This means that on a Drupal 5 core installation, you can only install modules starting with the number 5.
And that for a Drupal 6 installation, you can only use modules that are updated or newly created for drupal 6. Those modules start with a 6.
And yes. Sometimes you see a really cool module, but it only exists in a 5-version. If you have a D6 installed, then you cannot use this module. Or you search for another module that does have a 6-version. Or you wait for an upgrade of the specific module. Or you develop the upgrade yourself.
Hope this was helpfull.

6.9 modules?
Modules that are released for 6.anything will be OK to install on your site. Drupal 6.9 was only released a few weeks ago and the module developers will not have needed to make any changes to their existing 6.x modules.
Maybe you mis-understood this, and were looking for modules specifically designed for 6.9 but you don't need to do this. You just need to avoid any that are only 5.x. Lots of modules have a current 5.x and 6.x version, for the websites that have not yet been updated to D6.
