08/25/2023, 1:55 PMHi all, i want to know if it is possible to upgrade to from Umbraco 7, all the way to 12, without breaking the URLs that the current 5000+ images/pdfs/slideshows etc. are published on.
Does anyone know?

08/25/2023, 2:53 PMAre you asking specifically about media URLs?
It's possible.
Possible scenarios:
* No change is needed
* A CDN can handle it
* Umbraco redirects can handle it
* Custom code can handle it
Which scenario depends 🙂
If it's media URLs with cropping/other query parameters attached, and you want to conserve those also, then it's more complicated.

08/25/2023, 2:59 PMLets say i have an url
umbraco.com/media/12345678/amazingpicturehere.png

08/25/2023, 2:59 PMI want this URL to still be working, after walking all the way trough the upgrade/migration paths frm 7 to 12

08/25/2023, 3:02 PMAny tips and tricks (links to the right docs) to work trugh this?
My idea:
Current Windows server running UmbracoCMS 7
Update all the way trough, to Umbraco CMS 12
After its on 12, export/import the site to the Umbraco12 Instance i got up and running in kubernetes

08/25/2023, 3:08 PMWell, that is the standard media URL scheme for Umbraco 12 as well. So it should work automatically.

08/25/2023, 3:09 PMIf it's
umbraco.com/media/12345678/amazingpicturehere.png?cropMode=x&useFocalPoint=true&w=123&custom=xkdx-perbol
08/25/2023, 3:11 PMI'd be more worried about the document types and data types in the 7-12 upgrade. It's a 10-year journey. 🙂

08/25/2023, 3:12 PMIf your 7 site uses the old pre-blocklist stuff, or the initial blockgrid stuff, and there's Forms, and custom data types, then you might want to reserve those 100+ hours in your calendar. 🙂

08/29/2023, 10:25 AMI am doing an upgrade from v7 to v12 right now (v7 > v10 > v12). Definitely take a look at the following from @Kevin Jump as I have it migrating a significantly large media library with no noticeable issues (so far).
