Drupal7

The Drupal UPGRADE.txt file and upgrade handbook page provide a lot of good information and procedures to perform a major upgrade (ex. 6.x => 7.x).

However, if you're looking to manage your Drupal 7 installation using Git, the upgrade guides don't provide Git-specific advice.

Here's a procedure I found useful when upgrading Drupal 6 to Drupal 7 using Git.

First, clone the Drupal 7 git repository using this :

git clone git://github.com/drupal/drupal.git

I'm just getting my feet wet with the Drupal 7, Views 3 hook_views_data API which describes a table to Views.

I had a table like this :

create table tbl(
  myid    varchar(30) COMMENT 'Primary key',
  myPrice float
)

I was getting an error of this form when I was trying to display the view :

Undefined property: stdClass::$tbl_myPrice in
 views_handler_field_numeric->render() (line 75 of 
/drupal7/sites/all/modules/views/handlers/views_handler_field_numeric.inc).

Renaming the table to my_price solved the problem.

Drupal 7 (D7) hasn't been released yet, but there already are some themes compatible with D7. Here are some of them :

- Forest Floor - OK - kind of gray

- Dingus - Mostly CSS - no custom PHP

- mulpo - Clean and interesting

- Moleskine - Nice and rustic - derived from Basic theme

- NineSixty - Kind of plain

- AD Blueprint - Looks OK - clean

- AD The Morning After - Clean, spartan look

- Abessive - Unique, but a little too stark

- Basic - Based on Zen theme. Allows you to use Skinr module and SASS CSS.
