Morning gang - what we all working on today/this week ?!

Working on APIs and trying to find time for some self learning 😄

I'm getting my hands wet implementing Search on a site that will have loads of pages/content when launched. Will probably need to add a

TreeSearcher

(or whatever they're called :-) too.

@Owain nice - whats the topic for self learning ?!

C# - a very wide area but just trying to better my skills 🙂

I'm still in Spain on my sabbatical 😄 so learning spanish and playing with Umbraco/.net core

@huwred nice place for a sabbatical - hopefully enjoying the sunshine and beaches ?

Be careful Warren - trust me, I'd been done a week ago had I used XSLTSearch 😁

@Chriztian Steinmeier hahah simpler times for sure

I most certainly am 😆 beach is just across the road.

LUSH !

only a few weeks left unfortunately, then back to damp and cold 🤣

Make the most of it then - get off the computer and get out there !!

currently sat on the terrace drinking ☕

How do! Hopefully today will be getting back into planning a v7 > v10/11 upgrade... 🤞

Heya Lotte - hopefully you can stand on the shoulders of giants who have done this before to give you some pointers.

We've been doing that recently. Been using uSync Migrate and it worked really well.

Yeah that's the plan! Done a quick uSync migrate a while ago and amazed how well it works. Now just need to think about what we want to do with vorto content and DTGE. It will be a fun challenge, especially the latter I think!

@Chriztian Steinmeier Does it help to have a look at this simple search like this one from @CodeSharePaul ? https://github.com/prjseal/Clean-Starter-Kit-for-Umbraco-v9/blob/main/Clean.Site/Views/search.cshtml

Yep it's amazing isn't it @Sebastiaan

Thanks Seb - did look at Paul's series actually; the problems of course arise as soon as you're outside of "simple" - e.g., multi-language searching; searching categorized and tagged content. And I haven't even mentioned 'the JSON-blob elephant in the room' (oops, just did - sorry 🤣 )

I am working on so many Umbraco upgrades from 7 or 8 to 10. That is my entire sprint

Hahaha I wish I could bring them to 11, but we're waiting to make some decisions since they're both using the Grid. So by getting them on LTS we can have them on a good stable version and then upgrade to 11 and migrate their grid editors to the new block grid as a Phase 2.

Haha yeah, I know clients love to stick to LTS 👍 Can't believe we never made use of the Spinal Tap reference!

Especially government clients! LTS is one of their favorite acronyms!

😁 nothing wrong with that! Hope the migrations go smoothly, seems like a daunting task!

It is, but it means I always get to learn a lot 😄
