migrating from D5 upload module to D6 cck filefields

I'm working to update a Drupal 5 site that uses the core upload module to a Drupal 6 site that uses CCK Filefields. I found some work on handling this by drewish, but it needed adapting for my uses.

I revisited some of the techniques I was using for a contracts management system for a speaker solicitation and event tracking tool. Once again, node references are creating a parent/child relationship, this time between solicitations for events and events themselves.

I really need to figure a better way to manage parent/child relationships. I was not a big fan of any of the modules I tried out, but maybe they merit another review. I want two things:

  • bi-directional node reference fields
  • field accessibility from either side of that link

If there were way to override or define new handlers for fields, the second would be pretty easy. For now I will have to make do with theming individual fields. I'll have to give some more thought to the first one.
