drupal 4.5 was released a few weeks ago, it has many improvements and new features and IMO we should upgrade EGLUG installation ASAP

tasks required for the upgrade:

  1. port our custom modules to 4.5
    • LinCount (done by MohammedSameer)
    • Bidi (done by MohammedSameer)
  2. port contrib modules we use
    • glossary
    • wiki (done by alaa with help of patch found on drupal.org)
    • remindme (removed)
    • navigation (deprecated)
    • members (done???)
    • article (done)
    • csvfilter (done)
    • event (done)
    • flexinode (done)
    • htmlcorrector (done)
    • image (done)
    • notify (done)
    • privatemsg (done)
    • subscription (done)
    • syndication (done)
    • taxonomy_image (done)
  3. reimplement certain website features:
    • Left iconbar menu (done by alaa)
  4. port theme (done but no new features or IE fixes)
    • maybe in the process fix IE support
    • maybe implement some of the missing features promissed
    • maybe even use a new theme, too many people hate the current one
  5. setup a test install
  6. upgrade current installation
  7. write missing modules
    • vote module
  8. test new modules and deploy ones that fit our website
  9. update the translation
    • merge current with new po files
    • finialize the translation
    • deploy the translation
  10. feedback everything to drupal community
  11. ???
  12. profit

please everybody join in and help so we can finish this quickly.

today I finished porting and refining the theme, this means only glossary module is missing and then we can start the move.

the new theme implementation is much cleaner and we will use a special flexinode type to manage the icon bar.

I'm using my website to test our work.

cheers,

Alaa

I gave it a test on my local installation and it was fine. The only thing I found is that it adds a menu item to the admin section, Not sure whether this is the right thing or not.

And there is a part "not important" I wasn't able to port, I added a "FIXME:" string there.
