Introduction to the OpenCms 8
templates
● Procedure:
● Update OpenCms to version 8, still use old V7
template
● Create new template
● Enhance existing resource types to be usable in
new template
● Migrate contents step by step, not the complete
website at once
10
(Almost) automatic migration from
V7 to V8
● Task:
● Convert V7 "Template One" microsites to subsites
● Transfer the microsite navigation structure
automatically
● Keep only images and binary files that are really
used in contents
● Choose if only the most "current" or all structured
contents should be migrated (e.g. news, services,
events)
11
(Almost) automatic migration from
V7 to V8
● Solution:
● Specific migration tool that is triggered using the legacy context menu of the "microsite" folder type in the Explorer view
● Converts old-style pages with free text to container pages with text blocks
● Also transfers layout pages, OAMP webforms, photo albums, Google Map and Google Calendar XML contents to container pages with matching content elements
● Assigns the migrated subsite to the organizational unit(s) the old microsite was belonging to

● All content types are available for the new V8
templates and in parallel still usable in the old
V7 "Template One"
● This is achieved by extending the XML Schema
Definitions of these contents with specific
definitions for OpenCms 8, leaving the old
functionality untouched
