    upgrading umbraco 6 webforms to umbraco 7 mvc course of action

    I was wondering with so much difference in umbraco 6 and mvc 7 we have to plan this so we can cover as much as we can and not bump into problems..

    I need an opinion from anyone here who have had experience upgrading umbraco. is this a good course of action for our team? what else should i consider?

    1. Install latest umbraco version in dev
    2. Install all packages/plugins currently in live to dev (ublogsy,cmsimport,diplo linkchecker)
    3. Export all document types, macroscripts, custom datatypes (excluding content) from live to dev and import
    4. Convert all masterpages to views
    5. Embed all macroscript files to the new views
    6. Export live data (content only) and import to the dev site
    7. Convert all forms to umbraco 7 forms (we are using contour)

    the reason we are not just replacing the umbraco 6 files to umbraco 7 is because we want a clean installation.

    thank you very much

    i will be making a documentation on how we are doing this.

    we have decided to retain umbraco web forms.

    For anyone who decides to move to MVC here are some useful links i compiled:

    MasterPages to Views: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/cheatsheets/masterpagestoviews

    Razor to Partial Views or Partial View Macros:

    it was really hard to do but was successful. there are some areas you need to do manually in the backoffice.

    i will upload the word doc and place the link here when i am done.

    i have to warn you, umbraco 7 has some features that are now missing. one being the user sessions and knowing who is logged in.
