Hi guys,
Currently upgrading from 6.2.0 to 7.1.8. and I am stuck.
During the upgrade installer I have been shown a dialog window saying
Major version upgrade from 6.2.0 to 7.1.8
There were 1 issue detected
Property Editor with ID 'c2d6894b-e788-4425-bcf2-308568e3d38b' (assigned to Data Type 'Multinode Picker') does not have a valid GUID -> Alias map. It will be replaced with a Readonly/Label property editor.
The following compatibility issues were found. If you continue all non-compatible property editors will be converted to a Readonly/Label. You will be able to change the property editor to a compatible type manually by editing the data type after installation.
The installer is giving me the option to continue or fix it before I continue,
can some one explain why I am getting this message and how to fix it?
I clicked continue and the upgrade has been successful, site runs, a few broken razor scripts, but I have fixed them.
However the nodes that use a uCommpents multinode picker property's have issues, but I think I can fix it that.
BUT....when I try and fix this issue, in the back office of umbraco when I click developer > datatype folder if I click any of the datatypes under this I get this error
Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'umbraco.cms.presentation.developer.editDatatype'
Source Error:
Line 1: <%@ Page Language="c#" MasterPageFile="../../masterpages/umbracoPage.Master" Title="Edit data type"
Line 2: ValidateRequest="false"
Line 3: CodeBehind="editDatatype.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="True" Inherits="umbraco.cms.presentation.developer.editDatatype" %>
So what I did was look at the file: umbraco\Developer\DataTypes\editDatatype.aspx on the files system.
I noticed that THIS FILE IS NOT PRESENT ON A CLEAN INSTALL OF umbraco 7, so I deleted it, now I get a 404 when I click a data-type.
After a bit of investigation I am pretty sure the umbraco back office is looking in the wrong place. I had a look at a clean install of 7 and it seems to be looking here: umbraco\Views\datatype
I think something must not been updated when I did the upgrade.
Any ideas what?
I am at the last hurdle everything else seems to work, but I just can't make changes to the datatypes.
The multinode tree picker was a native datatype in Umbraco 6, why did you use uComponents? Go back to your Umbraco 6 build and change the uComponents MNTP dt to the native umbraco one, you should retain the data because functionaly they are the same, then unintstall uComponents....finally do the upgrade to U7 with uComponents removed.
Your right, about the native datatype but it was another developer that did that bit :-)
Its not really a problem any way I can fix that inside Umbraco 7.
the main problem now is when I click on ANY DATA TYPE in the back office I get the errors as described above, I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with the incompatible data type, like i said the file its trying to load for the edit page DO NOT EXIST in a clean 7 install.
You say its a clean install of umbraco 7, but it's absolutely not due to the upgrade...I've been through this from v4.0.4 to 6.2 and we're preparing for 7 now.
It's almost certainly a package incompatibility, otherwise U7 would function perfectly. Takeout every possibility that could cause your upgrade to fail.
Sorry maybe you miss understood me, this is an upgrade, but what I did was look at another instance of U7 a clean install, and a clean install of 7 in the back office does not have umbraco\Developer\DataTypes\editDatatype.aspx.
I've been looking back through some old posts on "our" and noticed some comments specific to upgrading uComponents and the error you're getting is leaning towards uComponents being installed post update to Umbraco 7.
You must remove all traces of uComponents before attempting an upgrade to v7.
The reason you're getting the error is because uComponents is looking for a control that no longer exists in U7.
This post is really old but it highlights the relation to uComponents

Hi Ayo
Don't know if this specific upgrade document when going from 6 to 7 might help? http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/Upgrading/v7-upgrade

So umbraco back office is not quite right.

This file was used to edit data types on 6 not 7.
With me?

Darn! You might be right :-)
Looks like I am going to have to revert.. and start the whole upgrade process again.
Ill post here (monday) and let you know how I get on, thanks for your help.
Ayo
One thing you could try is changing the MNTP to a textbox before the upgrade, then change it back later.
I'm not sure if that is valid for V6-7 but it worked in the past for other upgrades.
Just to let every one know...
I got it working.
I rolled back my upgrade, changed all the multinode pickers from uComponents to the built in umbraco 6 datatype.
Then ran the installation again.
Everything seems to be working now
Thanks guys!
Hey great stuff Ayo, I've done it myself although a long time ago, so I knew it would work.
Let me know if Courier works as well as it should!

is working on a reply...
