Migrating from Joomla1.5 to Joomla 2.5

[ron]

Hello,
I've read the post about migrating and I've seen the upgradejevents.php file and read how to use.
However, it is described for using with Jupgrade, as a subfolder from the Joomla 1.5. directory.
I've used SP_upgrade as a migration tool and the result after migrating was.... empty Jevents-tables.
My Joomla 2.5 reside in a seperate directory, so not as a subdirectory of Joomla 1.5.

What do I've to adjust in the upgradejevents.php file to get the migration completed?
After following the instructions I just get errors.

It should also work with SP_upgrade,

What errors do you get?

It basically reads the original database and imports the events correctly into the new one.

Hi TonyP,
Jevents Joomla 2.5 Information:

Code: Select all

Joomla : 2.5.1
component_com_jevents : 2.1.11
plugin_search_eventsearch : 2.0.2


Jevents Joomla 1.5 Information:

Code: Select all

Jevents 2.2.11 Stable
Joomla 1.5.25


Thanks for your reaction.
When I activate from the Joomla 1.5 site):

http://localhost/swh/upgradejevents.php

The shown errors:

Warning: require_once(D:\Xamp 1.7.3\xampp\htdocs\SWH\localhost\swh25\includes\defines.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\Xamp 1.7.3\xampp\htdocs\SWH\upgradejevents.php on line 40

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'D:\Xamp 1.7.3\xampp\htdocs\SWH\localhost\swh25\includes\defines.php' (include_path='.;D:\Xamp 1.7.3\xampp\php\PEAR') in D:\Xamp 1.7.3\xampp\htdocs\SWH\upgradejevents.php on line 40

At that moment I also was logged on as admin to the Joomla 2.5 site.

As I understand well I just have to adjust the directory for the NEW site.
I did that as follows:

<?php

/**
* @copyright Copyright (C) 2011 GWE Systems Ltd. All rights reserved.
*/
ini_set("display_errors", 1);

/**
* CONFIG
*/
define("NEWSITEPATH","localhost\swh25");
/**
* This path equates to a subfolder of the main Joomla 1.5 site
* Howver - you can create this as a Unix soft link to the Joomla 1.6 site as long as the webserver user has read access to this other installation
*
* To do this you MUST TEMPORARILY comment out these lines of code from librarise/joomla/filesystem/path.php on your Joomla 1.6 installation (reinstate them after the migration)
*
$path = realpath($path); // needed for substr() later
$fullname = realpath($fullname);
*
*
*******************************************************************************************************************

As I interpred the error than I see that my new site has to be a subdirectory of the old site (as stated!!), However HOW do I make adjustments when I don't have a subdirectory but a new directory?

*** VERY IMPORTANT Note that if you are not using JUpgrade you must manually map the usernids of your event creators ****

What are, and where to be found, USERNIDS (Username Id's?)

The NEWSITEPATH path is relative to the root of your Joomla install. Did you install the Joomla 2.5 site in a subfolder of your Joomla 1.5 site?

It may work if you use "../swh25" but I've not tested that idea

Hello,
I've moved swh25 to a subfolder of swh. I've started the script and as a response I've got:

migrated categories
migrated main tables
updated category references
reset access levels
migrated user permissions

So that should look good. However there where NO Events listed after this operation. As I looked in the database, there are now some old jevent-tables added but the Jevent-tables created at installation time ar still empty. The only new filled tables (at installation time) are:

_jevenst_icsfile and _jevents_categories

Do I have to delete the empty _jevents tables and Rename the "old" _jevent_tables with the correct table prefix??

Ron

[Geraint]

no - rerunning the script will create clean data each time.

What JEvents tables do you now have?

[ron]

In the Joomla 2.5 Database:

New tables:
_categories Empty
_excpetion Empty
_icsfile 1 record
_repbyday Empty
_repetition Empty
_rrule Empty
_vevdetail Empty
_vevent Empty
_jev_defaults Empty
_jev_users Empty

Old (Joomla 1.5) tables
_categories 18 records, these are seen in Back-end
_excpetion 54 records
_icsfile 1 record
_repbyday Empty
_repetition 813 records
_rrule 188 records
_vevdetail 200 records
_vevent 188 records
_jev_defaults 4 records
_jev_users 1 record

So no single event is to be seen in the backend.

Are you placing the file in the J1.5 root?

TonyP,
Yes I did.
The Joomla 2.5 is placed as subfolder and in a different database
