I recently did a data migration from an old site to a new site

  • 0

I recently did a data migration from an old site to a new site for a client and afterwards I come to find that the client has changed their minds and decided they now want the blog nodes to become discussion nodes (two distinct content types in the new Drupal 6 system).

What I intend to do now is change the new blog nodes over to the type “discussion”. As far as I can tell this is as simple as changing the type parameter in the node and saving it (doing this programmatically of course). These nodes are simply title and body nodes from a D4.7 site.

Are there any risks in doing this since all I care about are the body and title?

Thanks,
Patrick

    If you’ve got CCK fields attached to the blog type (and you have data in those fields) then you might get some inconsistencies/errors but other than that you should be absolutely fine.

    I usually just change the type column directly in the node table for the nodes in question to be honest and I’ve never had any problems.
