There's the potential for a lot of pain there.</p>Lee Jordan2022-03-22T20:11:42ZRE: RE: Upgrade from 7.3 to 7.4?Aurelien Hatrihttps://liferay.dev/en/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785333&messageId=1213783762022-03-16T18:34:43Z2022-03-16T09:31:32Z<p>Thanks you Olaf for the reply!</p>
<p>You are totally right of course the development started like 5 years
ago with it seems some little hacks here and there.</p>
<p>It's really painful to learn liferay and in the same time to migrate
"an old project".</p>
<p>So to give some feedbacks: I finally decided to start from scratch. I
made on assumption on some properties to generate the theme to extend
and I iterated from it with a lot of copy and paste from the orginal
source code.</p>
<p>So far I have two issues :</p>
<p>
<strong>First)</strong></p>
<p>The store for the document is DB. As I said I dumped the DB, create a
new one, and I played the "portal-tools-db-upgrade-client"
on it. I can see my documents but I still have some errors on some
pages like : </p>
<pre>
<code>=> request['theme-display'] [in template "20116#20152#1009391" at line 1, column 26]
----
Tip: It's the final [] step that caused this error, not those before it.
----
Tip: If the failing expression is known to legally refer to something that's sometimes null or missing, either specify a default value like myOptionalVar!myDefault, or use <#if myOptionalVar??>when-present<#else>when-missing</#if>. (These only cover the last step of the expression; to cover the whole expression, use parenthesis: (myOptionalVar.foo)!myDefault, (myOptionalVar.foo)??
----
----
FTL stack trace ("~" means nesting-related):
- Failed at: #assign images_folder = request["them... [in template "20116#20152#1009391" at line 1, column 1]
----</code></pre>
<p>I'm trying to find what is going on but so far I don't have a good lead.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<strong>Second)</strong></p>
<p>On the pages configuration we have a custom layout. After migration I
don't see it anymore, I don't know why.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any helps on the two issues are welcome.</p>Aurelien Hatri2022-03-16T09:31:32ZRE: Upgrade from 7.3 to 7.4?Olaf Kockhttps://liferay.dev/en/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785333&messageId=1212969412021-12-14T08:14:10Z2021-12-14T08:14:10Z<p>My expectation: The smaller the steps are, the better the experience.
Make sure to <em>always</em> upgrade to the latest available GA
version though: it also contains fixes to upgrade routines</p>
<p>I've not heard of any problems with the upgrade so far. From gut
feeling, most of the problems have been in systems that have been
around for ages, and collected some cruft before upgrading. Not to
mention those where people manipulated the database manually.</p>Olaf Kock2021-12-14T08:14:10ZUpgrade from 7.3 to 7.4?Peter Panhttps://liferay.dev/en/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785333&messageId=1212953322021-12-13T18:02:53Z2021-12-13T10:27:28Z<p>First I want to say the upgrade from 7.3.5 to 7.3.7 was super smooth!
Thanks to the dev team. I had set aside a whole day to troubleshoot
the db upgrade process but it just worked! Must admit I am a bit
non-plussed and worried the
