v4.0.0

5 years ago

Hooray! v4.0.0 is out and built for Umbraco v8! (This release requires a minimum Umbraco version of 8.0.2)

This is a pretty huge release!! check out the milestone: https://github.com/Shazwazza/Articulate/milestone/13?closed=1

Articulate is on Nuget:

PM> Install-Package Articulate

Upgrading

This is going to take some manual effort!

I haven't had any time to write any official upgrade documentation and there is no magic script to do this. You'll need to use your amazing Developer skillz to get it done 🥇🏆

What you'll need to do:

Backup everything first
Then you'll need to upgrade your project to Umbraco 8.0.2 (minimum) - This will require you to update a lot of your code with the changes between 7.x and 8
There are a bunch of model changes in Articulate 4 so you'll need to update these changes in all of your cshtml theme view files

Best way to do this that I can suggest for now is to:

Have a look at the milestone notes with regards to what has changed: https://github.com/Shazwazza/Articulate/milestone/13?closed=1
Have a look at all of the code changes in Articulate from 3.0.2 -> 4.0.0 which you can see here https://github.com/Shazwazza/Articulate/compare/b19f07ffdfb5e16a533d69f5f1edf45cf6c4f494...master?w=1
Not a lot of Umbraco schema has changed, you can see what has changed here by looking at the above link and looking at the changes for the packageManifest.xml file but i think it's really just:
- The property editor Articulate.MarkdownEditor no longer exists and any data type using that now needs to be Umbraco.MarkdownEditor
- The property editor Umbraco.TinyMCEv3 no longer exists and any data type using that now needs to be Umbraco.TinyMCE
Note that several Articulate themes have been removed so if you are using one of the themes that have been removed you won't have a reference to what has changed and you'll need to take inspiration from the other themes to see what has changed
All references to Google plus have been removed - since it no longer exists
Have a look at what has changed in the theme files with the above link to give you an idea on what will need to change, for example, have a look at the changes for src/Articulate.Web/App_Plugins/Articulate/Themes/VAPOR/Views/Post.cshtml and src/Articulate.Web/App_Plugins/Articulate/Themes/VAPOR/Views/List.cshtml ... there's not a ton of changes and most of the Articulate model changes have to do with how images are handled
Themes that are shipped are much more fully features, you can see their features sets here: https://github.com/Shazwazza/Articulate/wiki/Installed-Themes

Upgrading

The only tricky part about the upgrade process will be getting your templates updated to have some of the new features. If you don't care about those then chance are you don't have to do much but here's some instructions to get you going:

Backup everything first

Hopefully you are using source control so you can see what's changed. If not .... hrm, you might want to do that before you install else it's going to be difficult for you to see whats changed in the template files.
Rename App_Plugins/Articulate to App_Plugins/Articulate_Bak - since you didn't use Nuget before that will probably be required
Install the package
- If you wish to move to a Nuget installation, you 'should' be able to just run the Install-Package Articulate command but you'll want to let it overwrite your files in most cases so you can see what has changed and make changes accordingly.
- Or if you want to continue using the normal Umbraco package, just install the package via the back office - do not remove the existing Articulate package first!
The nuget installation should do this for you but just in case this doesn't happen automatically or if you are using the Umbraco package format you'll need to update the dashboard config file, change the ArticulateImportDashboard control value to be ~/App_Plugins/Articulate/BackOffice/Dashboards/ArticulateMgmt.html
Probably want to commit at this point so you have a snapshot (don't commit the Articulate_Bak you just copied folder!)
Almost all themes have been updated, hopefully the theme you are using is a copied theme in your own folder. If so, just copy it back to the App_Plugins/Articulate/Themes folder which will now exist again. If not... you can copy the theme you were using over top of the theme folder that was installed. Then you can use source control to see what's changed. I'd say there's a 90% chance your theme will continue to 'just work' but it will be missing a bunch of new features so you'll want to merge in changes
Then go to the Articulate dashboard in the Developer section, go to the 'Install' tag, press Install - this will sync your current doc type's with what is updated (see the image above... same procedure for upgrades)!

v3.0.0-beta1

6 years ago

Hopefully i can get the full release out soon! The only thing I have left is to upgrade my own blog and iron out any issues (if any), then of course document how to upgrade, etc...

This is an enormous release, check out the milestone: https://github.com/Shazwazza/Articulate/milestone/11?closed=1

In the meantime.... I've made a Nuget package (finally!)

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Articulate/3.0.0-beta1

PM> Install-Package Articulate -Version 3.0.0-beta1

New Installs:

Install it via Nuget, which will add an Articulate dashboard in the developer section
Go to the 'Install' tab on that dashboard
Press install

Upgrading.... you can give this a try:

Back up everything
Hopefully you are using source control so you can see what's changed. If not .... hrm, you might want to do that before you install
Rename App_Plugins/Articulate to App_Plugins/Articulate_Bak - since you didn't use Nuget before that will probably be required
Install the nuget package
Probably want to commit at this point so you have a snapshot (don't commit the Articulate_Bak you just copied folder!)
Almost all themes have been updated, hopefully the theme you are using is a copied theme in your own folder. If so, just copy it back to the App_Plugins/Articulate/Themes folder which will now exist again. If not... you can copy the theme you were using over top of the theme folder that was installed. Then you can use source control to see what's changed. I'd say there's a 90% chance your theme will continue to 'just work' but it will be missing a bunch of new features so you'll want to merge in changes
Then go to the Articulate dashboard in the Developer section, go to the 'Install' tag, press Install - this will sync your current doc type's with what is updated
