    Upgrade from 4.7 to latest version

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 7

    Hi all,

    I need a little advice.

    Would it be possible to upgrade from 4.7.1.1 to the latest version? Is it a good idea?

    Would the safest and easiest approach be to start on a fresh instal of the latest version?

    I use these things among the obvious stuff. content media Dictionary items XSLT enter image description here

    Hi Peter,

    In your case I would go for a fresh rebuild on the latest version.

    An upgrade in your case can cause a lot (unforseen) work.

    • You will need to upgrade in increments. I don't think upgrading in one go is possible
    • Secondly you are using a lot of packages that are not supported on the lastet version. Altough your data will not be lost during the upgrade it will become a read only field in the backend
    • You will need to find or build a replacement for the property editors that are now readonly and write some code to migrate the data to the format they store the data in.

    And why upgrade if you are not using all the new features. 4.7.x didn't have mvc support yet. So you are still stuck with your Webforms masterpages and your xslt/usercontrol/legacy razor macro's

    Dave
