Drupal 7Migration

Migration

Simply moving from one place to another.

Prerequisites

Drupal 7

Drush (Drupal from command line)

Data already in Drupal database to be migrated

Some idea about module building (but not too much!)

Migrate Module

Migrate 7.x-2.0

New rewrite of Migrate module

Easier extension into different modules (hopefully)

Migrate Module

Write a module to conduct your migration

Controlled from Drush

mini_migrate.info

Basic outline for your module

Give it a name

Add it into the Development section (makes it easier to find)

mini_migrate.module

Add:

function mini_migrate_migrate_api() { $api = array( 'api' => 2, ); return $api;}

mini_migrate.inc

Map out your fields for migration

Add any other handlers with Migrate Extras (User, Image, Taxonomy, Location etc)

Enable your module

Enable module 'drush en mini_migrate'

Run 'drush help'

Run 'drush ms' (migrate status)

Run your module

'drush mi mini_migrate' (migrate import)

View output

Run 'drush ms' (migrate status)

Thank you.
