I have an old site running Umbraco 4.7 that I would, in the future, like to transfer to v5. Since the site has a lot of old xslt the port will not be straightforward.
The old site has ~1500 pages in different languages (recipies and products mostly) so moving them by hand is not really an option.
I am about to start work on a campaign site for the same client and are thinking of using v5 here.
Would you recommend using the campaign site as a "springboard" to move the old site over to v5?
I have read somewhere (sorry I cannot recall where) that there will be a version of courier released that will migrate document types and content trees...(the simple stuff, not the complicated stuff)....note that this could be a baseless rumour and I could be telling fibs....I am nowhere near an authority :)
My thoughts would be to wait until that is released. I have done a little research just now and cannot find anything. If anyone else has any thoughts, I'd also be glad to hear them.
Yup, it is correct, that there will be a version of Courier, which will help you migrate contet and content types from a V4 site to V5, it will by no means be a one-click copy of your site from v4 to v5, but will save you time, moving your content and their types over.
I am having problems with v5 (getting 404's in the settings pane... wierd) so I had to start the new site in 4.7 but this is still great confirmation :)
Courier between 4.7 and 5.0
