TYPO3 Database migration from fluidcontent to flux

Question

I want to switch from fluidcontent to flux by removing the obsolete fluidcontent. As mentioned in here https://github.com/FluidTYPO3/fluidcontent/issues/424,

you have to change the CType for all fluidcontent objects in the tt_content table from fluidcontent_content to extensionnamewithoutunderscores_templatenamewithoutunderscores. Is there a migration script or a SQL statement available for this?

The tablename without Undescores is the filename. Why and where do i need the id of the flux:form?

Answer 1

A colleague made a SQL statement, which converts all fluidcontent CTypes to the correct flux value:

UPDATE tt_content 
 SET CType = LOWER(REPLACE(REPLACE(tx_fed_fcefile, 'YourNamespace.YourExtension:', 'flux_'), '.html', ''))
 WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content';

You only have to change YourNamespace.YourExtension. You can find the right wording for YourNamespace.YourExtension in the tx_fed_fcefile row.

For some reasons i had to replace the CType to flux_templatenamewithoutunderscores not to extensionnamewithoutunderscores_templatenamewithoutunderscores

Answer 2

As said in the linked page:
You will need some (one for each CE you defined) queries like

UPDATE tt_content
    SET CType = 'myextension_button'
    WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content'
      AND tx_fed_fcefile = 'Vendor.MyExtension:Button.html'

you might need a list of used CEs (with count and ignoring deleted and hidden):

SELECT tx_fed_fcefile,count(*) 
  FROM tt_content
  WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content'
  GROUP BY tx_fed_fcefile

Answer 3

@kimomat's query is actually really good. I just added in some spice in case you have more than one provider extensions installed/used.

UPDATE tt_content 
 SET CType = LOWER(REPLACE(REPLACE(tx_fed_fcefile, 'YourNamespace.YourExtension:', 'extensionnamewithoutunderscores_'), '.html', ''))
 WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content' AND `tx_fed_fcefile` LIKE 'YourNamespace.YourExtension%';

• Run the query for each provider extension.
• What to use for YourNamespace.YourExtension can also be gotten from the ext_localconf.php file of your provider extension.
• For example if my extension's name/key is my_provider, then extensionnamewithoutunderscores_ will be myprovider_

Answer 4

This isn't a unique answer, but it may be helpful for you all to have a specific application what it looks like for a particular situation. In this case it is an upgrade of Flux and other extensions on a site using fluidbootstraptheme.

First check what needs to be updated.

I ran this SQL in PhpMyAdmin

SELECT tx_fed_fcefile,count(*) 
  FROM tt_content
  WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content'
  GROUP BY tx_fed_fcefile

For my particular website this resulted in...

Make needed database updates

Now run these SQL statements in the database to fix each of the things that need updating...

UPDATE tt_content
    SET CType = 'fluidbootstraptheme_button'
    WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content'
      AND tx_fed_fcefile = 'FluidBT.Fluidbootstraptheme:Button.html'

UPDATE tt_content
    SET CType = 'fluidbootstraptheme_carousel'
    WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content'
      AND tx_fed_fcefile = 'FluidBT.Fluidbootstraptheme:Carousel.html'

UPDATE tt_content
    SET CType = 'fluidbootstraptheme_embedvideo'
    WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content'
      AND tx_fed_fcefile = 'FluidBT.Fluidbootstraptheme:EmbedVideo.html'

UPDATE tt_content
    SET CType = 'fluidbootstraptheme_imagegallery'
    WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content'
      AND tx_fed_fcefile = 'FluidBT.Fluidbootstraptheme:ImageGallery.html'

UPDATE tt_content
    SET CType = 'fluidbootstraptheme_modallight'
    WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content'
      AND tx_fed_fcefile = 'FluidBT.Fluidbootstraptheme:ModalLight.html'

UPDATE tt_content
    SET CType = 'fluidbootstraptheme_pageheader'
    WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content'
      AND tx_fed_fcefile = 'FluidBT.Fluidbootstraptheme:PageHeader.html'

UPDATE tt_content
    SET CType = 'fluidbootstraptheme_row'
    WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content'
      AND tx_fed_fcefile = 'FluidBT.Fluidbootstraptheme:Row.html'

UPDATE tt_content
    SET CType = 'fluidbootstraptheme_simpleresponsiveimage'
    WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content'
      AND tx_fed_fcefile = 'FluidBT.Fluidbootstraptheme:SimpleResponsiveImage.html'

UPDATE tt_content
    SET CType = 'fluidbootstraptheme_tabs'
    WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content'
      AND tx_fed_fcefile = 'FluidBT.Fluidbootstraptheme:Tabs.html'

UPDATE tt_content
    SET CType = 'fluidbootstraptheme_threecolumn'
    WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content'
      AND tx_fed_fcefile = 'FluidBT.Fluidbootstraptheme:ThreeColumn.html'

UPDATE tt_content
    SET CType = 'fluidbootstraptheme_thumbnailbox'
    WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content'
      AND tx_fed_fcefile = 'FluidBT.Fluidbootstraptheme:ThumbnailBox.html'

UPDATE tt_content
    SET CType = 'fluidbootstraptheme_twocolumn'
    WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content'
      AND tx_fed_fcefile = 'FluidBT.Fluidbootstraptheme:TwoColumn.html'

UPDATE tt_content
    SET CType = 'fluidbootstraptheme_well'
    WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content'
      AND tx_fed_fcefile = 'FluidBT.Fluidbootstraptheme:Well.html'

UPDATE tt_content
    SET CType = 'netchd_mycontentelement'
    WHERE CType = 'fluidcontent_content'
      AND tx_fed_fcefile = 'rapidfyre_netchd:MyContentElement.html'

If updating to Flux > 6 don't forget to run Flux upgrade script

After updating doing the SQL updates mentioned above, some of the content still wasn't showing up in the ThreeColumns and other fluidbootstraptheme content elements that had nested content. So I went to the extension in the backend and ran the update script in flux and it seemed to fix it... the results were
