News (tt_news)

Precondition

The migration is tested with TYPO3 6.x, tt_news < 3.x (without FAL) and Organiser 7.x and 8.x.

Workflow

Migration is running in three steps:

  • You have to migrate the records from tt_news_cat and tt_news to the corresponding org tables.

  • You have to copy the files which are managed by tt_news to the tx_org folder.

  • If you are using FAL (recommended), you have to run the Organiser update script. It will migrate the image and file data to the FAL tables.

Database

Migration is supported by a SQL script. See the file below. The file has a small documentation in form of comments.

Images

The file from below has a section, which is called "Get list of images and files for CSV export". Please query the list.

The file from below contains a formula, which supports a half automatic copying.

The half automatic copying fails, if a record is linked with more than one image. Please copy these images manually.

Files

The file from below has a section, which is called "Get list of images and files for CSV export". Please query the list.

The file from below contains a formula, which supports a half automatic copying.

The half automatic copying fails, if a record is linked with more than one image. Please copy these images manually.

FAL

Important: Images and files must be imported before using the FAL converter.

The SQL statements migrate images for an image-managing without FAL and files for a file-managing without FAL. If you don't use FAL, you don't have to do nothing more.

If you use the FAL, please run the FAL update script of the Organiser. The update script is part of the extension manager.
