hussainwebInitial patch. This works when migrating fields, formatter, and widgets. There was a column named
thumbnailearlier but can't find anything in the new schema. There is a data column but I am not sure how to store thumbnail's fid in there. Any tips?Comment #3
hussainwebMoved the file to correct location.
Comment #4
hussainwebThe migrations worked but it was migrating as a file field rather than video. That was because of a method in FileField which I was extending. I re-evaluated the approach and see that I don't need to extend that class as I am overriding almost every method. This patch works as expected and migrates to a video field.
