I am working on a project of upgrading Drupal 6 to Drupal 8.
I have huge data in Drupal 6 site.
I have upgraded the site from Drupal 6 to Drupal 8.
But, views are not migrated.
That would be a big step. I migrated D6 views to D7 and even that was not a smooth transition.
First, install all the modules related to views you have on Drupal 6 site.
Then you should have all content types defined as on D6 site.
Then export view and try importing it. Most likely you will need to check "Bypass view validation" to finish the process at all (that exists on D7 views import page, not sure about D8). I even had to manually change that export file to make it work at all.
At end you will most likely have to adjust views manually. Some view properties will most likely be missing.
Moving to D7 and then to D8 would probably be easier, but there would be much more work for all other stuff, so it's not worth it I guess.
I'm aware that this is not full answer to your question, but if it helped it at least a bit I would be happy. Good luck!

Hey Guys I have A big Laravel Project And The project Bootstrap version Is 3
I Want To Change It . How I can do it?
Going from Bootstrap 3 to 4 is quite major, as a lot has been changed.
Based on https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/migration/ , you can try and replace the changes, whichever applicable. But be ready for lots of designs to break if you relied heavily on bootstrap 3 classes, as well as using a lengthy time to do this. Maybe redesigning all the views would be the better approach.
Bootstrap 5 is out, why not consider that instead? Since it will be a major effort regardless.
Take note that Bootstrap 5 does not have jQuery built in.
There are a few ways to change the Bootstrap version in a Laravel project. One way is to edit the composer.json file and change the version number in the require section. Another way is to edit the config/app.php file and change the version number in the providers section.
I am using Drupal 8.9.15 (with composer and Docker).
The problem is that the vurenabilities dependency check tool detects about 200 issues and most of them are realted to Drupal, and most of them to jqueryui which is used by Drupal, for example:
/web/core/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/node_modules/grunt-html/vnu.jar/META-INF/maven/commons-fileupload/commons-fileupload/pom.xml
/web/core/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/node_modules/babel-core/node_modules/lodash/package.json
/web/core/node_modules/ftp/package.json
Why is it happening if Drupal is secure CMS?
Is it possible to fix it somehow? I see that the packages are downloading automatically to node_modules in drupal core directory.
This is unfortunately part of the reason that it's recommended to upgrade to Drupal 9 (believe me, the path is much better than from 7 -> 8).
It's known by the Drupal community that jQuery UI is no longer supported as mentioned in this change record. The recommended course of action is to upgrade to Drupal 9.
To answer your question, "Why is it happening if Drupal is secure CMS?" Well, it is as secure as it can be and as secure as its end users allow it to be. When Drupal 8 was released, jQuery UI was still supported. Now that Drupal 9 is released, jQuery UI is not part of core.
If you upgrade to Drupal 9, the security issues with jQuery UI will no longer be of concern.
Now, this is only for Drupal Core. There may still be some contrib modules that use jQuery UI elements, but that is not the responsibility of the core maintainers to watch for. However, as listed in the change record, they have mentioned a few contrib modules that still use those assets.
I have Drupal 6 site.
By mistake, I have deleted view, which is very crucial.
http://www.chetan.co.in/admin/build/views/edit/category_grid?destination=category-home#views-tab-page_1
How do I undo this delete operation.
Any help highly appreciated.
Take Note: Drupal 6 is no longer officially supported by the community. While there are some places that are offering long term support for Drupal 6, you should plan to move to Drupal 7 or 8 soon.
You'll most likely need to rebuild the view; Drupal doesn't have a feature to undelete a structure like a view.
That said there are a couple places the view might still exist:
If you have backups of the database from before the delete, you can load a backup to a new location and export the view from the backup and import it into the production site.
If you don't have a backup, stop what you're doing and solve that problem before your situation gets worse.
If the view is in a feature (module built with the features module),
you can revert the feature through drush or the features interface.
If the view came from a module another way you might be able to
re-install the module (but uninstall may have side effects that are
worse).
Drupal organization has announced the release date of Drupal 8 (November 19, 2015).
I really thought of learning Drupal but because of some or the other reason I have been delaying it so far but Drupal 8 is about to release now and I want to learn the most popular CMS.
I know YII2 and Joomla so, can it be easy for me to learn Drupal 8 or shall I learn the previous versions of Drupal and then go for Drupal 8 ?
Please suggest me.
Thank you.
Drupal 8 has vast changes when compared to its predecessors. For now, it has released its 8.0.0-rc2. Documentation is getting updated and it is still in progress. However as a front-end user, it would be easier to migrate from Drupal 7 to 8 as it has added many contributed modules to core modules. But for a developer, 8 uses TWIG and has made some changes in module/theme development. Till now, modules are also released as candidates.
It depends, if you want to create an application instantly, then for now, go for current version, or if you can wait, you can learn the basics now and can migrate yourself to 8 easily. Drupal's documentation and API can also be accessed!
Learning is not at all a waste! It will be useful in any ways!
I think the biggest difference from 7 to 8 is the object-oriented approach of Drupal 8. As a developer without knowledge of older versions of Drupal, I think it is better to dive in Drupal 8 directly. Please be aware of the steep learning curve of Drupal though.
Difference between D8 and D7 is much bigger than difference between D7 and D6. Back-end interface does look very familiar, but under the hood there is significant difference because of symphony and twig laying there.
So experience from D7 may be useful, but if you are going to work only with D8 then there is no purpose of learning D7 first, because some things may be working differently.
We're planning on setting up a website for student group - most of the content is fairly static but certain portions such as events and members would turn up from the database. I've never worked with PHP much, and was wondering would a CMS system like Drupal or PHP Nuke be appropriate for this kinda work?
Is there anything else that would allow me to go about creating a template and then reusing it across the website?
Drupal would be a very good choice for this. It has its learning curve, - anything you choose will. But eventually the light bulb will go off and you'll see how logically its organized and how flexible it is to extend.
And there are vast resources available to help you get up to speed quick. Tutorials and videos touching all angles of how Drupal works. And then there are uncountable quantity of themes, hundreds of add-on modules of every kind.
With a handful of additional modules added to the core distribution (cck certainly, maybe views and taxonomy too) you can configure basically everything and not ever touch a line of PHP code.
It is extremely simple to install and get started with. I have both Drupal 5 and 6 running under xampplite on a lil MSI netbook! .. Downoad and be up and running in under 15 mins.
You can try out all of the CMS available # http://php.opensourcecms.com.
I've never used PHP Nuke before, but Drupal can easily do the job.
Check out the Calendar module in Drupal for the event function.
Try out Joomla! works the best not just in content management but also theres extensions that you can use to allow users to book meetings and schedule events. Easy and simple.
Try out the +Joomla! instalation and hosting and just worrie about contents! They will put the rest working for you for super cheap price.
I recommend Joomla 1.5. It is easy to use and tons of resources on the web. Good for newbie.
