| Migrate Initiative Meeting | (Original Request) https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C226VLXBP/p1726176108848899?thread_ts=... (edited) |
| benjifisher | I know that some people are already using the snippet plugin: @alison and maybe also @amaisano. |
| alison | I'm on vacation, I'll be back Tuesday -- tho I may be working on my migration project Sunday afternoon en route from place to place. But I am indeed using the snippet plugin! |
| alison | Actually, I might be able to try running it tonight or Saturday. Just depends on how plans shake out. |
| alison | I really appreciate your attention to and nudges about this, I'm sorry I haven't been around at the right times -- thank you! |

| Migrate Initiative Meeting | (Original Request) https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C226VLXBP/p1726176822752979?thread_ts=... (edited) |
| benjifisher | I will be there. Can we schedule a BoF for the regular migration meeting? |
| benjifisher | I have not looked at the schedule. There might be something else going on then. |
| dinarcon | It seems all BoFs slots have been claimed? |
| dinarcon | I will also be there. It'd be great to meet with other folks. |
| dinarcon | Some migration related content:BoF on Tuesday https://events.drupal.org/barcelona2024/session/migrations-scale-migrati... Session on Thursday https://events.drupal.org/barcelona2024/session/automated-or-near-automa...(edited) |
| benjifisher | The earliest time slots on Tuesday (15:15 - 16:00) and Wednesday (8:45 - 9:30) are still open. |
| dinarcon | Oh, right. I was looking at the Thursday afternoon slot and missed the others. I have a conflict during the Tuesday 15:15 slot and the Wednesday 8:45 might not work either. Benji, are you available for any of those? |
| benjifisher | I have not made any commitments, yet. |
| benjifisher | At MidCamp, we had a successful session. I called it, "Is there anything the Migrate API cannot do?" and I described it as a live version of this Slack channel. |
| dinarcon | Was it recorded? Are there notes available? It seems the 2024 archive of the site is not working https://midcamp.org/2024 (edited) |
| dinarcon | I could create the BoF for Barcelona even if I am not able to attend. What time slot would work best of other folks attending? |
9️⃣ D7 date formats
| Migrate Initiative Meeting | Why do we have `d6_date_formats.yml` but not `d7_date_formats.yml`? |
| Migrate Initiative Meeting | (Original Request) https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C226VLXBP/p1726177977157859?thread_ts=... (edited) |
| benjifisher | I searched for entity:date_format in core/modules/*/migrations/* . I only found the one you mentioned: d6_date_formats.yml. |
| (anonymous) | Comment Redacted |
| dinarcon | Thanks for confirming. I noticed this while migrating formatter settings for date fields. It looks like there is no mapping from date formats in Drupal 7 to Drupal 10. Therefore, the date formatter fallbacks to the first available date format in D10. (edited) |
| dinarcon | I know things like Views were intentionally not included in the automated migration provided by Drupal core. Wondering if this was also the case for date formats? If so, is there some documentation of configuration/content entities that were intentionally left out? |
| benjifisher | I do not know of any such documentation. :shrug: |
| dinarcon | I can create an issue about D7 date formats. I will wait a day or two in case others chime in in this thread. |
| quietone | Probably this,#3240418: Custom D7 date formats not migrated to D9 |
| dinarcon | Thanks for pointing out the issue. I see it covers date formats (i.e. l, F j, Y - H:i), but no date types. (e.g. Long / date_format_long). The migration for the latter can be a follow up. |
| dinarcon | On second thought, I think date formats and date types are not two separate configuration entities in Drupal 11. I think the date type can be mapped to the id/label of the DateFormat configuration entity, and the date format mapped to the pattern. |
