Aljaml.com is one of the oldest Arabic Drupal news sites. It started back in 2005 using a forked version of Drupal 4.6 that was optimized for performance and for supporting Arabic content. During the past 6 years, the publishers and their community were very happy with the dazzling speed, the stability and security of their portal. Recently, the site’s audience demanded a modern interface with sharing and social bookmarking features. Aljaml.com's management did not want to sacrifice their reputation as the fastest Arabic news site, so they made the strategic decision to stay on Drupal, and they contracted us at EGHNA to implement the migration.
The migration process
The first challenge was the migration of 60,000 nodes to Drupal 6. Version migrations with the Drupal upgrade scripts produced some errors, possibly because of the changes in the original database. So we decided to create a custom database upgrade script to import content into the new Drupal 6 database. Later on, this same script was used to automatically pull data from the live site and push it into the new site during the beta and parallel operation phase.
