Hello
Is this the main documentation for EXT:smoothmigration?
http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/InstallationGuide/UpgradeLTS/Index.html
Or should I looke elsewhere?
In this document its advertised that some migrations are done automatically:
Calls to deprecated and removed static methods: Some of these can be
__migrated automatically__!
Usages of require_once calls to core files that were moved or renamed.
Simply remove the require_once call in your extensions and just use the
needed classes: TYPO3 will take care of loading these classes by means
of the auto-loader. This can be __automatically migrated__ by this
extension!
Usage of a UTF-8 database: In TYPO3 4.5 database character sets other
than UTF-8 were deprecated, but could still be used. This is no longer
possible in TYPO3 6.2, so this check will make sure you are using UTF-8
already in your database. The smoothmigration extension provides an
__automatic migration__ routine for this problem as well.
Fine, so I expected this feature to be in the module, as nothing else is
stated.
But then I find hints that these auto migrations can only be run through
CLI
(http://wiki.t3up.uni-wuppertal.de/doku.php?id=migrationsstrategie#tipps_tricks).
Shouldn't this be in the doc?
Also. Maybe it should also be noted that when TYPO3 is updated to 6.2,
the smoothmigration extension ceases to function.
Best regards
Stig
