Sniper Tags do not work in v7 so we have replaced with the standard Umbraco tags.
During the upgrade process from Umbraco v6.0.5 to v7, the Sniper Tags details in the cmsTagRelationship table was deleted which meant the auto-complete functionality of the tags wasn't working.
We ended up taking a backup of the Umbraco database and then doing the upgrade.
Once the upgrade was finished, we restored the backup as a separate instance so that we had the new v7 database and original v6.0.5 database on the same server.
We changed the Sniper Tag properties to standard Umbraco tags and then ran a script against the v7 database to pull the Sniper Tags cmsTagRelationship data across from the v6.0.5 database and link it to the relevant property type e.g.:
insert into cmsTagRelationship
(nodeId, tagId,propertyTypeId)
select oldtags.nodeId, oldtags.tagId,
case
when cmstags.[group] = 'Group1' then 71
when cmstags.[group] = 'Group2' then 72
else null
end as propertytypeid
from [OldDB].dbo.cmsTagRelationship as oldtags
inner join [OldDB].dbo.cmsTags on oldtags.tagId = cmsTags.id
left outer join [NewDB].dbo.cmsTagRelationship as newtags
on oldtags.nodeid = newtags.nodeId
and oldtags.tagId = newtags.tagId
where newtags.nodeId is null
and exists (select 1 from cmsContent where nodeId = oldtags.nodeId)
We then detached the v6.0.5 database as this was no longer needed.
Sniper Tags in Umbraco v7
Does SniperTags work in Umbraco v7. The package says it installed successfully but I don't see Sniper Tags in the Data Types Property Editor dropdown?
Hi Lesley,
I think it's not working with umbraco 7
Thanks,
Alex
Hi Lesley,
Do you have something to share on this topic?
It would be great.
Thanks
