howto migrate speciality to TYPO3 6.2.5

[specialistaweb]

Hi
thank you for your great work. All works fine under T3 6.1.x.
Today I attempted to run a new site (as testing site) then I installed a fresh TYPO3 6.2.5 installation.
After creating some users (_cli_lowlevel _cli_scheduler) I installed this extensions, following this order:

fluidcontent 4.1.0
flux 7.1.0
vhs 2.0.2
fluidcontent_bootstrap 3.0.0
vidi 0.2.0
media management 3.1.0

Then I've configured "media management" and I uploaded 'speciality' from another site.

The result is that some things are changed from vhs 2.0, so I can't run previous code ie:
"<v:var" now is "<v:v ariable"
nothing works and then I can't find anywehere some doc to migrate my templates from 1.x to 2.0.2.

ok then I switched to vhs 1.9.6 and now the result is that error:

Could not analyse class:TYPO3\CMS\Media\ViewHelpers\Widget\CarouselViewHelper maybe not loaded or no autoloader?

I can see correctly from my BE (page properties), ie. the layouts to select through speciality but the BE still shows 4 columns as the blank installation of TYPO3. No way to have the fluid columns.

Now I'm in doubt.... there is a way to migrate fluidcontent, etc. from 6.1.11 to 6.2.5?

thank you for your help

Hi
thank your for your message.
Unfortunately the author of speciality answers very slow to our issue.
I tried to install new "speciality distributon" but recently the develops seems to be very slow.
So I decided to run the new sites using exclusively the Introduction Official distribution.
Howevere there are 2 sites that I want migrate since 6.1 to 6.2.
If you are interested we can keep in touch, please tell me what do you want to do.
cordially
ALEX

Hi,

i quite, cause there are a lot of Namespace Errors. I think speciality needs more fixes than it takes time to setup the Site in a clean T3 6.2 Installation with Distributorpackage.

Hey, @fabarea could you chime in and clarify the situation here, please ? I believe we use this on 6.2 as well, so there should be a way to make it work, right ?

Yes, current version is built around 6.2. I have just updated the extensions references yesterday. To install a fresh copy, the advised way is to use Composer. It could be a TER release in the future but it needs a bit of polish.

composer create-project ecodev/typo3-cms-speciality-distribution SpecialityDistribution 
@see refer to the tutorial at the top of https://github.com/Ecodev/typo3-cms-speciality-distribution

To migrate from 6.1 to 6.2, you should:

• Upgrade all extensions (there should be all 6.2 with the time)
• Upgrade the Core to latest LTS
• Run the migration wizard from the Install Tool
• Fix all the rest... (sorry no magic receipt here!)

Some of the FluidTYPO3 syntax has changed along the way, more particularly about Flux. I am attaching a little Gist, I successfully used to upgrade the internal syntax. Here we go. Also I recommend skimming the blog articles from https://fluidtypo3.org/blog.html and see for other changes that have occurred. Hope this help.

Hi I think this is a great work.
Unfortunately I can't understand what do you mean for "Fix all the rest..."; the work to compare old a newer files is a bit complex and tedious. I hope you have on mind to do a migration tool (ie. a pure php program to do it). To do it manually seems to be really a crazy work.
thank you.

The Gist should help as pointed out.
