Plugin-Import - Fail to Import e107 Users #704

Closed LaocheXe closed 10 years ago

LaocheXe commented 10 years ago

Tried to port over my e107 v1.xx users to new e107 v2.xx install and fails - It gives me the complete - shows: Batch users import completed. 0 read, 0 added, 0 errors

Also what about importing the forums, or is the importer plugin only for versions 0.7 and 0.8?

To upgrade v1 to v2 (there is no 0.7 or 0.8 anymore), simply backup all your files and the database first. Then, instead of using the import tool, upload the files from Github (or as downloaded from the website) and make sure you overwrite the existing files. Then go to the admin-area and follow the update instructions.

There is also an update procedure for the forum Plugin in the admin area.

This should work. Do not upgrade using the import tool, this is for third party applications only instead.

Let me know how it works out.

Got a question - with e107 v1.xx I renamed the directories - How would I update to the new version with the changed directories? DO I have to edit the files and change the stuff back to default e107?

Moc commented 10 years ago

Seems like my reply didn't go through properly. Let's try again:

As far as I know, a v1 to v2 update using non-default directory names has not been tested yet. Theoretically I suppose it works but I wouldn't be too surprised if it doesn't. I'd suggest giving it a try (download the latest files from Github - rename the directories that are familiar (e.g. e107_plugins and e107_themes) and leave the 'new' directories such as e107_core and e107_web as they are. See if you can upgrade then. The results will be interesting.

If you don't feel like experimenting I'd recommend changing the non-default directory names back to the default ones and upgrade from there. You shouldn't have to change much except the e107_config.php file and of course the directory names themselves. Then upgrade as usual, using the latest Github files.

Having said all that, in v2, there is no additional value to be gained from renaming the folders - now that SEF has been integrated. If you had been renaming the directory names for 'pretty URL's' then I'd recommend changing back to the default directory names and using the new SEF features in v2 instead. You may want to start in the admin area > URL configuration. (Note: SEF integration has not been completed yet).

Let me know the results, I'm quite curious actually.
