Wanted to extend online tools
![Page 10: Drupal North East - Drupal 6 to 7 migration case study](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051405/587b33f31a28ab057d8b6ba3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Our plan(Because everything goes to plan)
![Page 11: Drupal North East - Drupal 6 to 7 migration case study](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051405/587b33f31a28ab057d8b6ba3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Website migration?
What could go wrong?!
![Page 12: Drupal North East - Drupal 6 to 7 migration case study](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051405/587b33f31a28ab057d8b6ba3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Plan ahead!- Research modules- Discuss order to import- Client content audit(aka – what do you not still need?)
- Migrate- Design & develop features- Launch
![Page 13: Drupal North East - Drupal 6 to 7 migration case study](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051405/587b33f31a28ab057d8b6ba3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Key points- Legacy content- “CPD” system for members- Online course/results registration- Events- Content vital to their status
![Page 14: Drupal North East - Drupal 6 to 7 migration case study](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051405/587b33f31a28ab057d8b6ba3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Migrate (d.o/project/migrate)- Migrate users, roles, pages, webforms- Alex did this (sorry Alex!)

The outcome
![Page 16: Drupal North East - Drupal 6 to 7 migration case study](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051405/587b33f31a28ab057d8b6ba3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Content migration- Kind of worked for basic node content and Views, too- Some taxonomies missing- File attachments
![Page 17: Drupal North East - Drupal 6 to 7 migration case study](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051405/587b33f31a28ab057d8b6ba3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Views- Import/export tools worked really well!
![Page 18: Drupal North East - Drupal 6 to 7 migration case study](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051405/587b33f31a28ab057d8b6ba3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Newer, responsive design

Pain points- Content migration (expected!)- Shear bulk of content, especially files- Legacy content vs responsive
