We have an online travel guide hosted on Drupal version 6.14. We want to move it to Drupal 7.32, for which the server and software is already set up. The main problem is that the current version is quite full with various mods and changes, some of which we don't need anymore. So the task will not be simply to update the old Drupal, but to 1) determine which mods to keep and which should be removed (to optimize load speed) 2) install the needed modules on the new server 3) copy a part of the existing directory structure (menu structure) to the new Drupal version on the new server 4) copy the existing content to the new Drupal installation, making sure that URLs, meta tags and Facebook modules (likes + comments) stay the same 5) check the resulting installation, make sure it runs faster than before 6) if needed, make some optimization, like caching, switching off some modules in drupal, installing the new ones that can help speed up the site. * FYI the site has about 500 active pages that will need to be updated. * There are 5 types of views: one for the main story layout, one for the main index pages, one for sub sections, one for forum, and one for showing maps – these will need to be imported in the new installation. * There are also a few pages that should launch PHP scripts directly (forms that submit information to another site), so some Drupal mods will need to be activated in order to allow for this functionality. * The website address is [login to view URL] so you can check it yourself.

This website has several features like blog, forum, facebook support, top events etc. We are the drupal expert willing to work in this project which can help us to learn something on drupal. At first we can upgrade the core drupal and to execute this backup of the database and directory structure is required. Then login to the admin of exisiting site and put the site in a maintenance mode. Then copy the all files and folders of D7 into the existing server except the sites folder and open the browser and run the install file, it will upgade the core drupal. After upgradation disable the site maintenance option. At this moment all installed modules will not work so we can go to the module option and then click on upgrade module button which will upgrade all the modules. Since you have used the custom theme, so it needs to be upgraded for D7 and also if you create any custom module that also to be upgraded manually. Now we can remove the unwanted modules from the system and take a backup of the entire system and copy them to the new server. To improve the view elements we need the data from you and can activate php filter module to use php directly within the page. Any new modules can be insta
