Migrating from Drupal 7 to 10: Blog Post Explains Configurations, Text Formats, and User Roles

In Part 22 of the "Migrations How-To" series by Tag1 Consulting, Mauricio Dinarte discusses migrating configurations for text formats, editors, and user roles from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10. The guide focuses on using recipes instead of full migrations to simplify the process and integrate new configurations.

The tutorial details the application of specific recipes to set up standard text formats in Drupal 10, such as basic_html, restricted_html, and full_html. Each format is linked to user roles, providing structured access. Dinarte emphasizes that recipes streamline the setup without extensive migrations, which is beneficial for adapting to Drupal 10’s updated functionality.

Further, the tutorial explains configuring roles, including the automatic creation of Administrator and Content Editor roles, using specific commands. For more complex cases with custom roles, he offers insights into managing permission mapping from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10.

Dinarte also covers adding fields to user accounts, addressing content model changes. The article provides a practical approach to combining recipes, automatic migrations, and manual configuration for effective Drupal migrations.
