Agaric is facilitating a full day training at DrupalCon Seattle to help you understand how to import content into your to Drupal 8 website.  It's the latest in our series of migration trainings.

This training is open for attendees with intermediate experience with Drupal– familiarity with installing a Drupal site and installing modules. We will use the Migrate API and related modules, which allows users to migrate content without writing any code.

With six instructors we will ensure no one gets left behind. Instead everyone will get the attention they need.

Attendees will learn to:

  • Import data from CSV and JSON files.
  • Transform data to populate taxonomy, date, image, file, and address fields.
  • Get content into Paragraphs.
  • Debug migration errors.

The training price is $450. Space is limited so we do encourage registering as soon as possible to ensure your spot.

As a web development cooperative that champions free software, we're passionate about migrations. It is a way to better understand Drupal's codebase, tap into the power of new features and build community. We have successfully migrated multiple sites to Drupal 8 and look forward to sharing our experience with you.

This training has sold out but please get in touch to be the first to know about future opportunities!

UPDATE: The DrupalCon Seattle training SOLD OUT a few days after we posted the details on the DrupalCon Seattle 2019 website! There were 45 trainees and six trainers - the Agaric team was joined by Leslie Glynn, the recipient of the 2019 Aaron Winborn Award, presented in the DriesNote! Leslie has been a volunteer at just about every Drupal event we have attended and she is well versed in many aspects of Drupal. It was a real pleasure to have her help on the mission to get people's hands and minds on the Drupal 8 migration process.

Drupal migrations reference: List of properties per content entity

In a previous article we explained the syntax used to write Drupal migrations. When migrating into content entities, these define several properties that can be included in the process section to populate their values. For example, when importing nodes you can specify the title, publication status, creation date, etc. In the case of users, you can set the username, password, timezone, etc. Finding out which properties are available for an entity might require some Drupal development knowledge.

Drupal migrations reference: List of configuration options for source plugins

In a previous article we explained the syntax used to write Drupal migration. We also provided references of subfields and content entities' properties including those provided by the Commerce module. This time we are going to list the configuration options of many migrate source plugins. For example, when importing from a JSON file you need to specify which data fetcher and parser to use. In the case of CSV migrations, the source plugin configuration changes depending on the presence of a headers row. Finding out which options are available might require some Drupal development knowledge.

Drupal migrations reference: List of configuration options for destination plugins

In the previous article we provided a reference of available configuration options for migrate source plugins. In today’s article we are doing something similar for destination plugins. We will present a reference of available configuration options for migrate destination plugins provided by Drupal core and some contributed modules. Knowing which options are available might require some Drupal development knowledge. By providing this reference it should make the process of writing migrations easier.
