Creating Migration Tasks
*
* To create your own migration task all you need to do is define your own subclass of MigrationTask and define the
* following functions
*
* mysite/code/MyMigrationTask.php
*
*
* class MyMigrationTask extends BuildTask {
*
* protected $title = "My Database Migrations"; // title of the script
* protected $description = "Description"; // description of what it does
*
* public function run($request) {
* if ($request->getVar('Direction') == 'down') {
* $this->down();
* } else {
* $this->up();
* }
* }
*
* public function up() {
* // do something when going from old -> new
* }
*
* public function down() {
* // do something when going from new -> old
* }
* }
*
*
* Running Migration Tasks
* To run any tasks you can find them under the dev/ namespace. To run the above script you would need to run
* the following and note - Either the site has to be in [devmode](debugging) or you need to add ?isDev=1 to the URL
*
*
* // url to visit if in dev mode.
* http://www.yoursite.com/dev/tasks/MyMigrationTask
*
* // url if you are in live mode but need to run this
* http://www.yoursite.com/dev/tasks/MyMigrationTask?isDev=1
*
*
* @package framework
* @subpackage dev
