ContaoDMS - Migration

Some helping files for migrating existing data from old [DokManSystem] the [Contao DMS].

Please read the complete guide first, before starting migration. Executing the steps in the given order is very important.

In case there are issues, please use the tracker.

Extension update

• backup your file system and database and custom templates
• be careful when updating the extension, because it may happen that the DMS_DIRECTORY will be deleted (copy it before to another name)

! DO NOT UPDATE DATABASE VIA CONTAO NOW !

Database

! DO NOT UPDATE DATABASE VIA CONTAO !

• Excute the file 1_migrate_tables.sql from folder sql (e.g. via PhpMyAdmin).
• ! Now, update the database via backend !
• Excute the remaining files from folder sql in the given order starting with 2_migrate_sorting.sql (e.g. via PhpMyAdmin).

Templates

See templates/renaming.txt to check the new names of the templates.

Files

• manually rename all files: add _0 to version string (will be the patch number)

  OR

• use files/rename.php to rename all files automatically via script

• copy files/rename.php to DokManSystem files directory

• execute it ONCE in your browser (http://domain.tld/tl_files/DMS_DIRECTORY/rename.php)

• maybe .htaccess must be deactivated temporarily

• check all files, if the script was executed

• delete the script

Folders

• the extension delivers a folder named dms ... rename yours, if you want, or keep the name
• rename folder grafik to preview
• delete index.html from folders preview and temp
• copy .htaccess from delivered folder dms to your repository folder

Contao

• Delete entries from localconfig.php starting with dokmansystem_
• Go to settings and define base directory and check other options as you like
• Edit and store your moduls (listing and management)
• Check categories and access rights
