Does Message Private support migration? #21

Closed dev-code-davis closed 7 years ago

dev-code-davis commented 7 years ago

Hi, I'm interesting in migrating a D6 -> D8 site. The D6 version implemented privatemsg module (which doesn't have D8 version). And I'm interested in migrating all the previous messages to this module. So the question is - does this module work with Drupal migration_tools, migration_plus, etc.? Has anyone tried some migration works?

Hey. Not at the moment, it would be nice alright. PRs welcome :)

@mccrodp Heh, actually it seems that migration is working with core migrate module and migrate tools, migrate plus additions. The module is based on Contact Storage and thus implements contact_message entity which can be migrated quite easily.

If anyone is interested in some snippets: YML - https://gist.github.com/Gugols/0c5a593d9666183c463c54d095464956 PHP (Ugly and just experimenting migrating into our slightly modified Migrate Private module) - https://gist.github.com/Gugols/6181187193f62556eedd24fd8032a195
