Upgrading from 13 to 17

[pauldequant]

Hi All,

I’m attempting to upgrade a site from 13 to 17, however I need a way to migrate Nested Content to a Block List and a Media Picker to Media Picker 3, Are there any pre-existing migration scripts out there that will do this. I can see something similar was done fro Umbraco Deploy - ReplaceNestedContentDataTypeArtifactMigrator and ReplaceMediaPickerDataTypeArtifactMigrator but we don’t have / use Deploy.

Thanks

Deal with v13 > v16 Property Converters

Hey @Neil-Hodges , I’m not sure whether Migrations works for a v13→16 migration, but we’ve been using uSync Migrations for an in-place migration on v13 sites. It’ll cover off the Nested Content → Block list and Grid → Block Grid but it’s also a great framework to build custom migrators too. Once you’ve done an in-place migration, you can then upgrade your site to v16 (although, as an aside, my experience is that v17 is already a lot more stable than v16!) as Owain suggests you’d do with his to…

Thanks for link

We tried uSync Migrations on v13 and while it converts the data types from Nested Content to Block List, it doesn’t convert the content.

It should migrate the content too!

You’ll need to enable uSync for Content as uSync Migrations will only migrate what is converted to uSync files.

Hi, So that’s usync for Content package is it? And this will replace the content in situ?
