Visit PlanningPlanet WebsiteProfessional project controls community
PlanningPlanet serves thousands of project controllers, planners, and construction professionals worldwide with discussion forums, scheduling best practices, and industry-specific production rate databases.
Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 with forum and wiki systems
CodeLift migrated this complex community platform from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10, preserving extensive forum discussions, wiki content, certification pathways, and multi-industry database functionality.
Migration Approach
Forum and Wiki Migration
We executed a comprehensive migration of PlanningPlanet's discussion forums covering planning, scheduling, BIM, Primavera P6, and forensic claims. The extensive wiki with scheduling best practices was preserved with full content fidelity and internal linking structure.
Production Rate Database Integration
The platform's unique Production Rate Database spanning construction, automotive, pharmaceuticals, infrastructure, IT, tunneling, and bridges was migrated to Drupal 10 with enhanced search capabilities and data integrity verification.
User Account and Certification System
Thousands of professional user accounts were migrated seamlessly, including certification pathways for Certified Project Controls Practitioners. All user profiles, permissions, and certification progress were maintained without data loss.
Community Platform Optimization
Custom functionality for job listings, professional networking features, and industry-specific tools were modernized for Drupal 10. Performance improvements enhanced the experience for the global project controls community.
Multi-Industry Content Structure
Content organization across multiple industries was preserved and enhanced with improved taxonomy management, making it easier for professionals to find relevant information for their specific field.
Knowledge Repository Integrity
Comprehensive testing ensured all wiki articles, forum threads, database entries, and cross-references remained intact. Content relationships and internal navigation were validated across thousands of pages.
Future-Proof Community Platform
PlanningPlanet now runs on Drupal 10 with enhanced security, improved performance, and a sustainable architecture for continued growth. The platform continues to serve project controls professionals worldwide with reliable access to critical industry knowledge, professional networking, and certification pathways.
