Help with upgrading..

[Busby]

Hi, my present site is Joomla 1 running JEvents 1.4.2-1 and I am in the process of upgrading to Joomla! 1.5.

I presently have J1.5 installed in a sub-folder where I am trying to replicate the old site.

My question is, can I export all my events from the old site to the new one and have them running side by side? I understand I will have to maintain both sites after the import until I go live..

Thanks for your help..

Copy the old Events tables from the old database to the new and then install JEvents 1.5. You can then migrate the events from 1.4 to 1.5.

If you want to compare 1.4 and 1.5 on Joomla 1.5 follow the guidance in the getting started with JEvents 1.5 article (link from frontpage)

Hi Geraint, thanks for the propt reply..

I take it that I should copy 'com_events' folder from the old site to the new? or are the tables in MSQL - if they are, how do I copy them please and import them into the new site..

I don't wat to do a full merge from Joomla 1 to 1.5 as I can't get it to work..

Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob at this

See viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1805#p5791

You don't have to install 1.4.3 in Joomla 1.5 so you can skip steps 3 & 6.

Hi Geriant, thanks for the reply..

I don't want to use the migrator as it will overwrite the files in my new 1.5 install..

Is there another way of doing this?

Many thanks

phpmyadmin or similar - export the #__events #__events_categories tables and the rows from #__categories that match the ids from #__events_categories. The import this data into your Joomla 1.5 installation.

Hi Geraint

Thanks for the reply..

I'm afraid I don't have PHPMyAdmin installed on my webspace, so I suppose there is no other way of extracting the data, other than creating it all manually?

I am thinking of writing a dedicated migration script - so watch this space.

Hi Geraint - thanks for your help..

I wish I could say it worked for me, but this is what I get:

Code: Select all

Warning: main(gwindex_start.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sites/mydomain.co.uk/public_html/jeventsmigrator_export.php on line 14

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'gwindex_start.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/sites/mydomain.co.uk/public_html/jeventsmigrator_export.php on line 14


Can you take a look please?

Thanks again..
