problem with description fields

[bradfordcondon]

Note, this info is now redundant with the migration guide repo, please use that instead.

executive summary

(to be done prior to migration)

• disable ckeditor and wysiwyg_filter (should have been done prior to migration)
• create new filters that are copies of the full_Html and filtered_html filters at admin/config/content/formats/. Rename the old filters "filter name (Don't use)".
• now when you migration analysis and organism nodes, the descriptions should display.

description

Description fields dont migrate correctly from t2-t3. This is for organisms and analysis.

I think disabling the custom WYSIG editors is part of the solution. However even then changing hte input type to "full HTML" or filtered HTML doesnt work, and the field doesnt display. returning to the edit page means the text format box still isnt set;

here's a summary of the problem and the workaround.

Unfortunately writing a script is going to be tough because its not as simple as copying a single row of a table. What I did was

• visit the filter formats http://localhost:8020/admin/config/content/formats/
• rename the old full and filtered HTML to have (DO NOT USE)
• create new filters for full and filtered html. machien names will be full_html and filtered_html
• copy the configuration over from the old fields

It would be better to understand how to fix in core but havent done that yet.

While no automated way to accomplish this task has been found, the manual workaround above succeeds and is documented and included in the Upgrade Guide, https://github.com/NAL-i5K/T2-to-T3-Upgrade-Guide
