Migration from cal to calendarize

This will help you to migrate data from cal to calendarize.

Requirements

  • Installed extension calendarize
  • Tables from cal (e.g. tx_cal_*, …)

Migration

Migration of records

The migration is an upgrade wizard and listed inside the admin tool. Inside the Upgrade > Upgrade Wizard and you should be listed as “Migrate cal event structures to the new calendarize event structures. […]”.

Important

The wizard is only displayed, if the table tx_cal_event exists.

It is also possible to execute the wizard from the command line.

# Run using the identifier 'calendarize_calMigration'
./vendor/bin/typo3 upgrade:run calendarize_calMigration

Changed in version 8.2.0: The identifier was formerly called HDNET\\Calendarize\\Updates\\CalMigrationUpdate.

Migrated tables

The wizard uses the default event model and places the result in the same folder as the old records. To keep track of already migrated records, the import_id is a combination of calMigration: and the old uid.

Events

The basic / common fields of Calendar Events (tx_cal_event) get migrated to the Event model. For most date options a Configuration record is used.

Event Exception (Groups)

Event exceptions are used to exclude dates in recurring events and can be grouped.

Event Exception Groups (tx_cal_exception_event_group) get migrated to Configuration Groups. The corresponding Event Exceptions (tx_cal_exception_event) become single Configurations and are added to the group. Finally the group gets added to the Events with excluded Handling.

Categories

Older versions of cal (< 2.0) used its own table cal_category for categories. These will be migrated to sys_categories of TYPO3. The newer version using sys_categories is also supported.

Calendar, Locations, Attendees, Deviations

These record types are currently NOT migrated.

Not migrated

Be aware that some things are not migrated:

  • Templates
  • TypoScript configurations
  • Plugins
  • Some fields and tables (e.g. calendar, locations, attendees, deviations, …)
  • Additionally fields by other extensions
  • …
