Seamless updating from standard DW9 to DW10

I´ve been out of the loop on DW10 for a while.

But are we any closer to where it is possible and safe to do a more or less seamless update from Dynamicweb 9 to Dynamicweb 10 on a standard solution, where there is no custom code other than a few API calls?

If not, will this come in the future - or should we not expect this to happen?

Hi Hans

Take a look at this page which explains the details: https://doc.dynamicweb.dev/documentation/fundamentals/dw10release/upgradingfromDW9.html

I think the big deal for most solutions would be their use of @Helpers in their templates. The other big thing is the use of features that have been removed, see the above list.

If you have a Rapido installation that is heavily reliant on Helpers, it will be an uphill battle. You can see how helpers would need to be converted here: https://doc.dynamicweb.dev/documentation/fundamentals/dw10release/upgradingfromDW9.html#examples

It will not be easier to upgrade - it will not change by waiting.

You will have to expect some level of things to handle - and things needs to be tested. A lot of things have changed some or little, and the exact impact on specific implementations are hard to specify precisely.

But take i.e. Swift - it currently runs on both DW9 and DW10 - we made some code changes for that to happen.

Hi Nicolai

 

thank you for your reply. We don´t use any helpers, and don´t use any modules that are deprecated. We do use the API, but that should be a relative small thing to fix?

The templates however, are not viewmodel based. Would that be a problem?
