Support conversion of pages to content hub items #260

Closed kentico-anthonym closed 1 week ago

kentico-anthonym commented 1 month ago

Motivation

As there is currently a feature for migrating page types to reusable content types, however the missing piece for this functionality to come full circle would be the conversion of pages to content hub content items.

Why is this feature required? What problems does it solve?

As of right PR: #257, the conversion of a page type to reusable content type is possible, the only issue presented is that these pages now exist as web page items instead of content hub content items.

Proposed solution

To further extend the functionality introduced in PR: #257 to allow for pages types that are designated be mapped to a reusable content type using the class remodeling feature introduced, to also have their pages converted to content hub items.

This will be very useful. I tried out the Kentico Sitecore Migration tool's ability to do this and it was very helpful. (see contentHubTemplates)

@kentico-anthonym Thanks for adding this issue into the project. I am getting ready to work on a massive migration for a client where this feature would be SO VERY USEFUL to us as the developers and to our client's budget.

The ability to extend the migration tool to allow for transformation of page type data that #238 is going to be so very helpful. Combining that with being able to convert Pages to Content Hub items would be a chef's kiss moment for myself and my client.

Do we know when the team might be able to work on this item? Ideally, I would love to be able to use this in November of this year, and there will be more of my colleagues in the coming year that would utilize this as well! Let me know your thoughts! Thank you!
