Add automatic migration to v2 about skybrud.umbraco.redirects HOT 3 CLOSED

@ronaldbarendse thanks a lot posting this 👍

I think I started out on the V8 version of this package before Umbraco made it possible to upgrade from V7 to V8, so the redirects package wasn't intended to handle this. Which is kinda bad now that there is an upgrade path.

One of the things I'm probably going to look at next is import and export functionality, so I had thought about creating a migration that renames the old table, exports the rows, and then imports them in the new table. Doing this with an SQL script could possibly be smoother, so I'll look into that 😉

I've successfully migrated more than 100 redirects using this script and this seems to be the easiest/fastest way.

I'm not sure if you can explicitly target v7 to v8 migrations, but the existing CreateTable migration could be updated to run this script when the table already exists (and if it's the v7 schema):

Hi @ronaldbarendse

This was something that the Umbraco 8 package should have supported, but as I've lacked the time to look into this, and as we're now moving towards Umbraco 9, I think it's too late to add this feature. I'm therefore closing the issue.
