We have a fairly simple database with news item linked to authors in SQL.
We want to fill our new umbraco(v8) project with this data. To the appropriate doctypes ofcourse.(News/Authors)
What I have done before, is to just fill in some code (maybe in a surface controller), and just do the import by calling the content service.
Depending on the size of your source, it may be good to be able to do the import in steps/chunks to enable you to restart / continue the import if something fails.
Just want to know if the update for Umbraco 8 is near? I have a larger site that I need to move from another CMS to Umbraco, so if the update is just around the corner I might as well wait. :)
Working hard on this version. Must be done soon. Umbraco Dataprovider is the most difficult provider to convert so could be a little bit after the initial release.
Data Import V8
Hi!
We have a fairly simple database with news item linked to authors in SQL. We want to fill our new umbraco(v8) project with this data. To the appropriate doctypes ofcourse.(News/Authors)
How would we go about it to migrate this data?
Thanks!

Wait until CMSImport for V8 is done :-)
or generate uSync content files from and do an import :)
Hi Richard, What's the ETA on V8 release?
Think summer-ish It's a rewrite since it still used webforms
Hi Richard, any update on CMSImport ETA for Umbraco v8.1.x? Great tool btw :-) Thanks Mike
Thanks but done when done ;-) Working hard on this..

Hi Jonas,
