Category settings not migrating correctly

Hi there,

For example, a category in M1 is set to display a static block only, but this data has not been migrated over to M2. (This has happened in several categories)
Any ideas?

Yes, that is right. We reset the value of the ‘Display Mode’ setting to ‘PRODUCTS’ -- Products only.

If you want to keep the original setting of that setting, you can implement with these steps:

1. Open the PHP file at: pub/ub-tool/protected/controllers/Step4Controller.php
and find the code line:

UBMigrate::getMage1AttributeId('display_mode', $entityTypeId) => 'PRODUCTS',

and replace it with:

// UBMigrate::getMage1AttributeId('display_mode', $entityTypeId) => 'PRODUCTS',

2.  Run the following SQL query in your M2 database:

UPDATE `ub_migrate_map_step_4` SET `offset` = 0 Where entity_name = 'catalog_category_entity';

3. And then you run the CLI command:

php -f bin/ubdatamigration run --step=4;

Hi there,

That does update the display mode to static block…but it does not update the desired static block setting??

Yes, that is right. To run delta update for both the ‘Add CMS Block‘ field, you can do as follows:

1. Please make sure that you already checked to migrate the CMS Blocks in step #8: http://prntscr.com/uyv2v5 and make sure you had finished data migration in step #8.

2. Open the PHP file at ‘pub/ub-tool/protected/controllers/Step4Controller.php’
and find the code line:

UBMigrate::getMage1AttributeId('display_mode', $entityTypeId) => 'PRODUCTS',
UBMigrate::getMage1AttributeId('landing_page', $entityTypeId) => '',

and replace it with:

// UBMigrate::getMage1AttributeId('display_mode', $entityTypeId) => 'PRODUCTS',
// UBMigrate::getMage1AttributeId('landing_page', $entityTypeId) => '',

and in that PHP file, you find the code line:

//save/update
if (!$model2->save()) {

and replace it with:

if ($table == 'catalog_category_entity_int') {
    $attributeId1 = UBMigrate::getMage1AttributeId('landing_page', $entityTypeId);
    if ($model->attribute_id === $attributeId1 && $model->value) {
        $model2->value = UBMigrate::getM2EntityId(
            '8_cms',
            'cms_block',
            $model->value
        );
    }
}
//save/update
if (!$model2->save()) {

2.  Run the following SQL query in your M2 database:

UPDATE `ub_migrate_map_step_4` SET `offset` = 0 Where entity_name = 'catalog_category_entity';

3. And then you run the CLI command:

php -f bin/ubdatamigration run --step=4;

Hi there,

would be interested in understanding your reasons.

Upon the current workflow of our module, Migrating Categories will be done first (step #4) and CMS Blocks will follow later on (step #8).
 
Besides, we did not support the migration of CMS Blocks data in the old versions of our module.
 
Regarding the reply #3, the tweaked code in Step 2 was aimed at migrating Category’s Display Mode settings as you want. This data was not migrated under our current workflow. We will consider improving this in the next release of our module.
 
We hope that helps.

Hi there,

 The custom attribute is “Footer Content” and it is a textarea for displaying additional content on the category page after the product list.
How can I get this migrated?

That is a custom category’s attribute and it is beyond of support scope of our migration tool.
