Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.There have been multiple path changes on admin screens in D7, as compared to D6, and most of them are undocumented as of yet.
They need to be documented in the module upgrade D6 -> D7 guide. There is already a section they can be added to at http://drupal.org/node/224333#lots-of-path-changes
Your task, should you choose to accept it: Find the rest of the admin paths that have changed between D6 and D7, and add them to that section of the module update guide. If for some reason you do not have permission to edit the guide for some reason, at least add a comment here and someone else can add them to the update guide.
Two possible approaches for finding paths that have changed:
1) Check out the list of issues in D7 tagged with "IA"; most of those involve path changes. link to a search for these issues
2) Sit down in front of a screen with D6 and D7 sites running in separate browser windows, with all core modules enabled. Click through the administration menus on both sites, and see what has changed.
Good luck!

Bojhan commentedI will stay on this.

Bojhan commentedI think all are documented now
Comment #3
joachim commentedCould you work the phrase 'admin path' into that somewhere for people using browser search?
Eg:
This link goes to a separate sub-page describing all the path changes.

jhodgdonIt already says "path", which takes you to the right spot after about 5 clicks of "next". I don't personally think it makes sense to work in the phrase "admin path", when other people might then use "administrative path" or "administration path" or who knows what else for their browser search. Generally, we avoid abbreviations anyway in documentation on drupal.org, so we would write out the word "administration" or "administrative" ("admin" is not actually a word).
And by the way, the current section link is
http://drupal.org/node/224333#admin_path_changes
which goes to a separate page
http://drupal.org/node/719612
Also, by the way, there are other paths besides "admin" that are changed. See that second link for details. It wouldn't be correct to say that only "admin" paths had changed.
So I am inclined to leave it as it is.
