Error in header.get.html.ftl on upgrade

I've just upgraded a test server from 3.3.g to 3.4.d and almost everything works. However when I log into share, I get an error where the menu/favourites should be. I get the following error in alfresco.log16:25:12,579 ERROR [freemarker.runtime] Expression favouriteSites is undefined on line 11, c

Hello,

how did you do the upgrade? It seems to me that you may have modified the header in the past (3.3) and only upgraded the .war in the /webapps directory, leaving the "old" header.get.html.ftl in /shared/classes/… The sites menu and the favouriteSites included therein are no longer calculated in the header web script in 3.4 but rather in a client-side JS. From the stack trace you posted it is obvious that the JS controller of the web script no longer provides the favouriteSites model object (due to the change in 3.4) but your ftl still requires it (suggesting pre-3.4 code).

If you have done any modification to Alfresco web scripts I'd advise to create diff-files for the changes to the old version, remove all overrides in /shared/classes/…, deploy the new new WARs and individually check if your previous changes may still be necessary and applied the same way - and adapt them if necessary.

Regards
Axel

That fixed it. Next question is - How do I migrate our custom aspects to the new version?
