    Import umbraco 4.11.10 content + media to umbraco 7.5.3

    Hello Everyone,

    I would like to know if using CmsImport tool, can I import content & media of umbraco 4.11.10 site to umbraco 7.5.3?

    If yes, then can you please let me know how or what query should be written to get all data from existing database to map to destination column?

    Thanks,

    Dhiren

    Hi Dhiren,

    Yes it is possible to import old content and the related media from an old Umbraco 4.11 install . Best to watch the video "Import old Umbraco data" http://soetemansoftware.nl/cmsimport/videos to see how this works.

    Hope this helps,

    Richard

    Hi Richard,

    Thanks for updates.

    1) Does this tool support multiple languages?

    2) Also does it support different datatypes (source has diff datatype than destination)?

    Thanks,

    Dhiren

    Hi Dhiren,

    If Multilingual is on the same document then it is supported and if not it depends how you want to do it.

    And yes you can map from a different data type to a new one. Most common properties are supported out of the box and for any other situation you can create a fieldprovider to do the mapping.

    Best,

    Richard

    Hi Richard,

    Thanks for your prompt response.

    Based on your answers, I got few more queries.

    1) What is the meaning of multilingual on same document? We are using Dictionary for multilingual feature. Can it support this?

    2) As you said it can support different data type, can it support uComponent datatype to ArcheType controls? Or I have to create custom mapping?

    Thanks,

    Dhiren

    Hi Dhiren,

    Dictionary is supported out of the box but Archertype not since that is a complete definition of itself. You always need a fieldprovider for that.

    Best,

    Hi Dhiren,

    I can change that if the domain of the site you bought the license for is changing. If it's because you want to use the tool for a different site you need an additional, or server/unlimited license for that.

    Best,

    Richard

    Hi Richard,

    When we import using CMSImport from umbraco 4.11.10 to 7.5.3, if I have multinode-tree picker content, will it be able to import properly?

    As 4.11.10 was supporting XML and latest version of umbraco supports JSON thats why I am asking if this will be resolved automatically by CMSImport tool?

    Also, is there anything to look after while importing using this tool which should avoid any data error?

    Thanks,

    Dhiren

    Hi Richard,

    While importing from 4.11.10 to 7.5.3, Multi-Node Tree picker data is not importing.

    Can you please provide any solution to it.

    Thanks,

    Dhiren

    It could be that it can't understand the xpath you have configured in the source system. Make sure this is as simple as possible then it should work.

    Best,
