-- HikaShop version -- : 2.4.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.0

Hello,
I have a client that runs two different website but they want to sell the same products via each site. I have setup HikaShop on one of the sites and completed the configuration, checkout process, products images etc. So I know have a fully working e-commerce system on one site.

I then tried to 'clone' this HikaShop to the second website. I installed a clean version of HikaShop to give me the database tables etc. then using the SequelPro App ( www.sequelpro.com/ ) I exported all the HikaShop tables from the completed site and imported them into the 'empty' HikaShop database tables on the other website.

I then copied across the media/com_hikashop folder which I believe contains all the product images.

Everything seems to have worked successfully, the HikaShop configuration is the same, all the products, characteristics etc are the same. However none of the product images seem to be linked and I have the default HikaShop image against all my products.

How can I ensure when I clone the database tables etc the links between the product and its image are retained?

Thanks

Lee

Hi,

It's probably that HikaShop is looking in a different folder for your images.
Check the "upload path" setting of the HikaShop configuration of your new website. It might not be media/com_hikashop/upload and in that case, you would have to move the images from that folder to the folder of your configuration setting (or change the setting).
