Hi Tom,

Here's a good introduction to the process of porting modules:

If you run into problems, you're welcome to post a question in our Zulip chat: https://backdrop.zulipchat.com/login/.

There's also weekly Office Hours https://backdropcms.org/news/events/office-hours-weekly-9pm-11pm-utc where you can get live help.

Hope this helps. Welcome to Backdrop!

Hi @tomgrandy! Welcome to the Backdrop CMS forum. I would start with the articles here (especially the section on Converting Modules) and post here or in the Zulip chat if you come up with any specific question. Good luck porting!  

@bugfolder, looks like we hit "Save" exactly at the same time LOL

Hi tomgrandy,

What is involved with porting a module from D7 to BD?

That depends a lot on how complex your modules are.

There's a helper module for that task, by the way: Coder upgrade

With easy modules sometimes this helper does the whole job. But you might want to get the "big picture" before you start. There's good documentation for module conversion.

If you run into trouble or get stuck, ask here in the forum for help, or even quicker, ask in our Zulip chat.

@argiepiano,

Obviously, and I'm not even bugfolder. :-D
