Migrate | drupal.org
The migrate module provides a flexible framework for migrating content into Drupal from other sources (e.g., when converting a web site from another CMS to Drupal). Out-of-the-box, support for creating core Drupal objects such as nodes, users, files, terms, and comments are included - it can easily be extended for migrating other kinds of content. Content is imported and rolled back using a bundled web interface (Migrate UI module) or included Drush commands (strongly recommended). Status I'm afraid I've been very busy with project work and the Migrate in 8 effort and haven't been able to put Migrate 2.6 to bed yet. Migrate 2.6 Release Candidate 1 is available. The most significant changes in Migrate 2.6: For a more complete list of changes, see the issues tagged as Migrate 2.6. Besides the UI changes, there are significant changes around migration registration and construction that are somewhat risky - before upgrading to the latest -dev or git code, be sure you backup your database.

Create an album based image gallery in Drupal 7 using fields and views | James Tombs
This is a follow up tutorial on the popular Create an album based image gallery in Drupal 6 using CCK and views but for Drupal 7. The tutorial will assume that you have Drupal 7 already installed and ready for use. The following contrib modules are required: I personally prefer Colorbox to some of the other lightbox modules, but feel free to use whichever one you want, they should all work in the same way. An alternative can be found in Shadowbox. Lightbox2 doesn't have a D7 release at the time of writing and Thickbox has been discontinued, with the maintainer now working on Colorbox. The following list is the absolute minimum required to get the gallery functionality, if you don't have one of these modules installed you won't be able to complete the tutorial. Views Ctools Colorbox Fields Fields UI Field SQL storage File Image Once you have confirmed all these modules are installed you can continue. Setting up the content type For the Name, enter Gallery. Click Save and add fields. Node view
References
This project provides D7 versions of the 'node_reference' and 'user_reference' field types, that were part of the CCK package in D6, at functional parity with the D6 counterparts. See for details. Note for users upgrading from References 7.x-2.0-beta3 There were a couple changes in the way 'References' views are handled ("referenceable nodes/users defined by a view"), which might require double-checking those existing on your site: The 'label' (node title or user name) is no longer automatically added if not included in the view. If some of your 'References' views currently do not include it, you might want to add it explicitly, else it will no longer appear in the widgets.The HTML generated by the view is no longer stripped out before being handed to "checkboxes / radios" widgets, thus allowing advanced formatting. Note for users upgrading from CCK D6 Similar modules:
Date | drupal.org
This package contains both a flexible date/time field type Date field and a Date API that other modules can use. The D5 and D6 versions of the Date field require the Content Construction Kit (CCK) module. The D7 version works with the core Field functionality. D8 includes Date in core. The Drupal Handbook pages are at Date/Calendar Documentation. Be sure to read Debugging Information before reporting a problem. Get Involved Help us to solve issues! D8 Version The D8 branch is being upgraded with a hope to getting some of it into core. D7 Version Due to work on getting Date into Drupal 8 core, the D7 version is currently being minimally maintained. Please see #2074655: Assign Co-Maintainership [Mark Date/Calendar modules as unsupported] if you are able to help with on-going maintenance. D7 Notes I've added preliminary support for SQLLite and SQLServer. Token support is not working in D7. D7 Videos/Tutorials D6 Version D6 Notes PHP 4, 5.0, & 5.1 are no longer actively supported.
