    Migrating a website from 5.1 to 4.7.2 -

    Migrating from v5 to v4 (and beyond)

    So.. we've got an unreliable umbraco v5 website, containing a bunch of stuff to move from V5 to 4.7.2

    This includes:

    • Document types (not currently possible to migrate?)
    • Dictionary items (not currently possible to migrate?)
    • MVC masterpages with inheritance (need to me re-done ?)
    • partials (these can easily be migrated to razor snippets)
    • media items (not currently possible to migrate?)
    • content nodes (i could export this outputting each item as xml and try to use CMS import, but what about relationships?)
    • relations between those content nodes (pickers)
    • relations between content and media (pickers)
    • Contour forms

    I'll be trying and go into each of these items and find a way to migrate them to the older version. all help/suggestions are appreciated.

    What should be possible.. (will think about the actual process later..)

     

    • Document types (not currently possible to migrate?)

    Simple doctypes should be possible. Multi-inheriting could be be solved (ish...) by creating new, merged types or possibly by using mixins.

    • Dictionary items (not currently possible to migrate?)

    Should be possible.

    • MVC masterpages with inheritance (need to me re-done ?)

    Tricky. Simple layouts can be turned into templates/masters

    • partials (these can easily be migrated to razor snippets)

    Yup

    • media items (not currently possible to migrate?)

    The structure is different, but it should be possible to at least fill the media tree.

    • content nodes (i could export this outputting each item as xml and try to use CMS import, but what about relationships?)

    A bit different, but if the structure isn't too complex it could be done.

    • relations between those content nodes (pickers)

    I guess v4 relations could handle most of it

    • relations between content and media (pickers)

    Sure thing

    • Contour forms

    No idea, yet.
