Migration Tool Questions

Permalink
1) Does the migration tool work with version 8.1 or do I need to migrate the site to 5.7 and then upgrade to 8.1?
2) Does anyone have experience using the migration tool to move custom blocks? Any problems? Any wise words of wisdom?

Thank you.

1) The current version on master requires 8.2.0 which isn't released yet, but should be soon.
2) I have moved sites using the tool however there isn't a good way to move custom blocks other than rebuilding them for 5.8 and installing them before trying to transfer content.

I downloaded the earlier branchhttps://github.com/concrete5/addon_migration_tool/tree/5.7.5.x... but when I try to install I get this

Declaration of PortlandLabs\Concrete5\MigrationTool\Publisher\Attribute\PagePublisher::publish() must be compatible with PortlandLabs\Concrete5\MigrationTool\Publisher\Attribute\PublisherInterface::publish($attributeKey, $subject, PortlandLabs\Concrete5\MigrationTool\Entity\Import\AttributeValue\AttributeValue $value)

and then have to restore the site with by database backup.

Does anyone have any ideas on this one?

Thanks for your answer.
After you rebuilt the blocks in version 5.8 were you successful using the migration tool to move the custom block content? I have literally hundreds of pages that use custom blocks. I really need to understand if the migration tool works on this type of content before I try to move content.

Thank you
