As mentioned here, I released a patch for making the xmlsitemap module work under Drupal 6. It's still in the code needs work mode, but I'm getting there. So any developer who wants to help, go for it.

It shouldn't be that much work that finish it.

Update: I think the major part of the work is done. For me everything seems to work now.

You can see the result here: http://www.denraf.be/sitemap.xml

As you can see, the site is changed a bit. I'm moving to a multisite drupal 6 environment. With this I can test things on a test environment which is completely the same as my live one, and yet I've to maintain only one codebase.

Of course my old blog will be moved completely, but first I put my time in the wp2drupal module to make it drupal 6 compatible. So as soon as you can see my old posts here, I was successful.

I have to say, the more I work with Drupal, the more I love it. So you can expect a move of this blog to drupal soon. :)

Only last week we created a nice theme for our technical website. Only after finishing our website, Drupal 6 was released and of course we wanted to upgrade asap.

Here you can find a little manual on converting your Drupal 5 theme to Drupal 6. In the theme it-self doesn't have to change that much. Expected things are sidebar-left by left, sidebar-right by right, ...

People who use primary links, will notice that they don't work. The trick is to edit page.tpl.php:

from: <?php print theme('menu_links', $primary_links); ?>

to:  <?php print theme('links', $primary_links) ?>

So the real new thing is the .info file for the theme. Our theme is basd upon the litejazz-theme, so I'll put our .info file here.
