Surge Migrate

Foundation Carousel to the Carousel Core Component

Rotating panels of content. Adobe lists the Carousel Core Component as the replacement for the Foundation Carousel component, which are deprecated in AEM 6.5.

What changes

  • Panels hold other components; map each Foundation slide to a panel.

How to migrate

  1. Create a proxy of the Carousel Core Component in your project under /apps and point templates and policies at it, so future Core Component versions are a one-line change.
  2. Configure the template policy (allowed options, styles) to match what authors could do before.
  3. Write a conversion rule that maps existing Foundation content to the new component's properties; Adobe's AEM Modernization Tools apply such rules to content in bulk.
  4. Run the conversion on a copy of production content, compare rendered pages side by side, then let authors test editing.
