Migrating tt_news to news: Plugin Migration creates textmedia plugins

Question

I'm in the process of migrating a TYPO3 7 LTS latest site from ext:tt_news to ext:news.

The data migration is working flawless. But when I'm running ttnewspluginmigrate:run, all new plugins are textmedia content elements (should be news content elements).

What I tried solving this issue:

• Updated tt_news to latest version on TER
• Used dev:master of news_ttnewsimport
• Used dev:master of news
• Used ^5.0 for news

The site is heavily reliant on tt_news plugins, so manually replacing them would rather be unpleasant.

Data migration working, plugin migration failing

Additional Information:

• Template uses fsc, csc extension disabled

Answer 1

Can confirm exactly the same problem. Same conditions – 7 LTS, fsc, no csc. So I tried to investigate. UPDATE query for this textmedia record was generated, but without any effect.

Then i tried it manually and i got following error: "Unknown column 'header_position' in 'field list'". So it is obvious – tt_content table with FSC (Fluid Styled Content) used instead of CSC, doesn't contain "header_position" field. The same goes also for fields "spaceBefore", "spaceAfter" and "section_frame". So these fields should be excluded from "$fieldToCopy" in case of using FSC.

Answer 2

The migration is not that complicated to debug and I wonder why that could happen. See https://github.com/ext-news/news_ttnewsimport/blob/master/Classes/Service/Migrate/TtNewsPluginMigrate.php#L84-L85

Can you check the database what is wrong with the new elements? The field CType should be list and the field list_type should be news_pi1.
