.. include:: ../../Includes.txt ======================= Notes of Thomas Löffler ======================= News migration ============== Status before ------------- - TYPO3 4.5 - tt_news - DAM - irre_ttnews (for content elements) Status after ------------ - TYPO3 8 LTS - news - FAL Steps of migration ------------------ #. Upgrade to TYPO3 6.2 #. Use `dam_falmigration `__ for assets #. Install `news `__ and `news_ttnewsimport `__ #. Due to the fact that we have all the same assets on the new server, we only need to get the uid from the unique identifier `file_identifier` #. Build mapping tables with (news_uid, file_uid and file_identifier) as well as (content_uid, file_uid and file_identifier) #. Migrate content elements (related with `irre_ttnews`) to the built-in possibility in `news` #. Move records of `sys_file_reference` only from news and depending content elements to new server #. Move news records and mapping table to new server #. Get uid of asset on new server from the `file_identifier` #. Replace old uids in `sys_file_reference` with the new ones #. Update news and content records with the number of related assets
