Hi Vincent,
as I already ran the migration I don't get the same plan but it still shows
some previously excluded spaces/pages when re-running the nested pages
migration application. It shows Main.WebHome as "(unchanged)" and lists
some spaces below it.
ok so at least we know that the migrator isn’t changing the home page.
I'm absolutely sure that the issue didn't
occur before the nested pages
migration. After the upgrade to 7.4.4 everything was fine, I did a sanity
check on all wikis to be sure before running the nested pages migration.
It's no big deal but I wonder why the
variable "$services.localization.render('xe.home.title')" won't
get
replaced anymore.
So indeed there must be something that indirectly make this fail. Now, this translation
key is defined in the ApplicationResources.properties located in the oldcore JAR (in your
WEB-INF/lib directory) so there’s no way that this is not available (unless you overrode
that file in WEB-INF/classes).
I can’t think of another reason for the velocity snippet
"$services.localization.render('xe.home.title’)” to not work.
Do you have any thoughts on the two questions from my
previous email?
"
2.1 Is it safe to delete the old "spaces" and moving the new nested pages
from the "Web Home" folder to the root?
"After migration I noticed that the spaces that were previously right
below Main stayed but are hidden now.”
I don’t think the migrator does anything regarding hiding pages so this is really
strange.
I think the best would be if you could provide some way to reproduce all this from a clean
instance.
2.2 Would unchecking this checkbox have avoided the
moving to the "Wiki
Home" sub page?
Add redirection simply means that the pages at the old location (ie for pages that have
been moved) still exists and redirect to the new locations. So no.
Maybe I'd prefer restoring a database backup and
re-running
the migration application on one of the sub-wikis with lots of spaces in
Web Home. Or is it safe to change this via database or something?
“
It’s never safe to touch the database directly and this is definitely never recommended.
You have a high risk a breaking stuff in your wiki if you don’t master 100% the full
database schema.
Thanks
