Matrix Version: v4.18.2

Hi,

I am trying to use following keywords

%globals_asset_contents:1234^with_get:id={globals_asset_metadata_numberId}%

but it seems not working here. I also found server(runat) but not working in this version.

Is there alternative way to do this?

^with_get was added in 5.4.0.0 (or 5.3.3.0) - https://squizmap.squiz.net/matrix/7065

4.18.2 was released at the start of 2014.

I believe in 4.18.2 you could still create a nested contents div and set the dynamic get vars in the advanced configuration, but I’d strongly encourage pushing for an upgrade.

Hi David,

Is the upgrade process from Matrix 4.18 to 5.5 easy as using the upgrade script or bit more involved now since Matrix 5 repo is now on Git?

Thanks.

The upgrade script worked basically the same before and after the CVS->Git migration, that part should make no difference.

4.18->5.5 is a big hop, but the longer it’s put off the bigger it gets.

Thanks for info David.

Is the process of using the backup script and restore exactly the same from Matrix 4 to 5.5?
I’m thinking this might be a quicker way forward.

Any thoughts on this process over the upgrade script method?

Thanks,
