Upgrading cmsplugin-filer from 1.0 to 1.1

Due to changes in cmsplugin-filer/filer which moved ThumbnailOption model from the former to the latter, djangocms-blog must be migrated as well.

Migrating cmsplugin-filer to 1.1 and djangocms-blog up to 0.8.4

If you have djangocms-blog up to 0.8.4 (included) installed or you are upgrading from a previous djangocms-blog version together with cmsplugin-filer upgrade, you can just apply the migrations:

pip install cmsplugin-filer==1.1.3 django-filer==1.2.7 djangocms-blog==0.8.4
python manage.py migrate

Migrating cmsplugin-filer to 1.1 and djangocms-blog 0.8.5+

If you already a djangocms-blog 0.8.5+ up to 0.8.11, upgrade to 0.8.11, then you have to de-apply some blog migrations when doing the upgrade:

pip install djangocms-blog==0.8.11
python manage.py migrate djangocms_blog 0017 ## reverse for these migration is a noop
pip install cmsplugin-filer==1.1.3 django-filer==1.2.7
python manage.py migrate

After this step you can upgrade to 0.8.12:

pip install djangocms-blog==0.8.12

Note

de-apply migration before upgrading cmsplugin-filer. If running before upgrade, the backward migration won’t alter anything on the database, and it will just allow the code to migrate ThumbnailOption from cmsplugin-filer to filer

Note

If you upgrade in a Django 1.10 environment, be sure to upgrade both packages at the same time to allow correct migration dependencies to be evaluated.

Installing djangocms-blog in an existing project with Django 1.10

If your project has cmsplugin-filer 1.1+ already installed and it uses Django 1.10, install djangocms-blog 0.8.12 (and above):

pip install djangocms-blog==0.8.12
