[META] Migration path to Layout Builder

I think this could be added to a 8.x-5.x branch.

Is anybody aware of a another place I can find documentation on upgrading from panelizer to layout builder?

@aolsen356: There isn't anything else right now, unless you want to get into working on the upgrade code itself.

Adding a quick note to see if there have been any updates to this on upgrading from panelizer to layout builder?

Did any hear anything at Drupalcon 2019?

@phenaproxima I love the play on words there with the sandbox project name "PaneLBizer"

I had a few questions about this upgrade path as have been trying out the latest dev release of panelizer and the automatic migrate to layout builder process.

a) The new layouts do get created but for components like page_title_block moved to the new layout config the following gets used:

          62dd7b94-9f49-4b61-ad40-f65d365a7f46:
            uuid: 62dd7b94-9f49-4b61-ad40-f65d365a7f46
            region: top_right
            configuration:
              id: page_title_block
              label: 'Page title'
              label_display: visible
              context_mapping: {  }
            additional: {  }
            weight: -1

You will end up getting a missing entity when trying to go to the layout library section and clicking on the template. This is because context_mapping is empty and I also think the block name has changed to.

b) When going on a specific piece of content and hitting the layout tab I also get a missing entity unless for some reason I purge content from key_value_expire. (Not sure about this one)

c) Aside from the above which can be manually fixed the larger problem is for the configuration that is house per piece of content itself and not a default template. Basically layouts that are stored in field_panelizer. For us we have hundreds of this pages so manual fixing is probably not feasible. Is this upgrade path going to be something that is supported?

Here is a P.R. I am working on to update our Distro with changes if helps: https://github.com/drupalwxt/wxt/pull/172/files

Hey just wanted to say really appreciate the work on this as everything is working great.

Am def really curious how going to solve static contexts and excited to see how is done.

Thx again for all your help

Hi I was just curious if there has been any progress on static contexts? I wish I could help with this but not sure where to start it.

I think it is the last blocker preventing us from fully working with new v4.0.0+ of Lightning from a fresh install perspective.

Any information would be helpful and again super appreciate you taking this on :D

Hello, I'm also running into this issue and curious about the update path for static contexts?

I see some EXCELLENT work done here to migrate into Layout Builder -- to talk about this being generic I've created https://www.drupal.org/project/panelizer/issues/3087208.

The referenced issue will be a blocker for stable 5.x release.

Does anyone know what the current status of this is? I've been trying to find a working migration path from a D7 distro using Panelizer to D9 w/Layout Builder, but have been thus far unsuccessful. Is this being abandoned or is here a functional patch out there that at least get me part of the way there?

@chrisgross have you find the way? I am trying that too.
