##TYPO3 Extension 'DAM Remover'

This extension helps you to remove the extensions dam and dam_ttcontent with currently two Extbase commands.

1. imagerelations:convert

The extension dam_ttcontent provides an additional image field in content elements. If you don't use it, skip this command.

This command searches for such images and attaches them to the normal image field. Image files are copied to upload/pics.

2. mediatags:convert

DAM provides the mediatag functionality. If you don't use this feature, skip this command. DAM replaces file links in RTE-fields with media links which contain a dam id instead of the filename (like the link tag does).

This command searches for media tags and converts them to traditional file links. Currently only tt_contents field bodytext is supported.

What you have to do is:

1. You may check the db integrity and fix errors
2. Make a backup of your database ( or only tt_content and tx_dam_mm_ref )
3. Run imagerelations:convert and remove the extension dam_ttcontent.
4. Run medialinks:convert

Beware: There can be more fields containing media tags, eg. search for "<media" in the whole database.

5. Remove dam and check your frontend!

I will be happy to get comments on this!
