This tutorial will help you to migrate data from tt_news to news.

Requirements¶

Installed extension news
Installed extension news_ttnewsimport

If you experience any troubles during imports, test the latest versions of the 2 extensions which can be found at https://git.typo3.org/TYPO3CMS/Extensions/news.git and https://github.com/fsaris/news_ttnewsimport.

Migration¶

Migration of records¶

To be able to migrate records, you need to activate the import module. This needs to be done in the configuration of EXT:news inside the Extension Manager.

Activate the checkbox “Show importer”, save and reload the backend. Now you should see the backend module “News Import”.
Switch to the backend module.
Select “Import tt_news category records” from the select box and start the import of categories.
Select “Import tt_news news records” from the select box and start the import of news records.

Migration of plugins¶

Since the latest version of news_ttnewsimport it is also possible to migrate tt_news plugins which is especially useful if you got some dozens of those.

All settings which can be mapped are migrated!
