Cold fusion e-Communities with e-Content Manager Migration to WCM. Oh My!

Phase one. 15.0.3 to 15.1.1

Ok this is a highly customized site that has some very good flow and design. The e-communities side of the website is experiencing a melt down in style and formatting.

In particular the Login and Default e-Communities pages throw js errors while navigating through the site.  These were fixed and used to identify the session state failure.

Trapping the JS error helped Identify a rendering loop that causes bizare behaviour  in the rendering sequence.

 The JS error is for partial page rendering. To fruther make things complicated Mozilla renders the site perfectly, it is an Internet Explorer 6.0 and greater that have problems.

 

Do they need the same edits that the master pages needed to add the asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID =Template Button Bar? no hey did not require edits.

Other CFM pages required editing. This was the code added to each of the ASP.net masterpages in e-ContentManager                <tr>
                    <td style="width:100%">--%>
                        <div style="float:right; white-space:nowrap; margin-right: 10px; background-color:White; display:inline;">
                            <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="TemplateButtonBar" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
                        </div>
                    </td>
                </tr>

There is a default header file in the e-Communities

This site renders an ASP.net  template as a HTML string that is split and reconstituted as the default header and footer for the site. Currently nearly all formatting issues have been reconciled with the remove of some of the form tags that are appended to the end of the header and footer sections.

The one remaining page is the defaultTemplate.cfm form that has some bizzare ......

 More latter.

Prototype of a two website

Prototype of a two website e-CM to WCM migration.

Ran the command line WCM migration tool and recieved a content sucessfully migrated message. No data hygene on first iterartion of test migration.

Run the migration utility then Define Publishing Servers then Defining WCM websites and Fields: Websites.

Supported by the Hands-ON: a guided walk.......

In the process of implimenting the surf to edit and publishing.

So far was able to hit home pages but not able to see products or any other features.

These are 2 highly customized websites that have custom master pages and a series of ascx files that require migration to the iMIS webparts.
