Upgrade to Joomla 1.6

Hi,

I have Hikashop on a Joomla 1.5.20 install and want to move to Joomla 1.6 to take advantage of the new access permissions. I've read a lot about the headaches of upgrading to 1.6 so I'm thinking of starting from scratch but I have done a lot of work in HikaShop and it would be great if there was some way I could move it across or at least export all of my products including variants and then import them on the new site.

Any help relating to moving HikaShop to Joomla 1.6 would be very much appreciated.

HH.

Thanks Nicolas,

I have downloaded and installed djf acl, created a group under public front end. I then added a new price to one of my products and assigned the group I created to that price. Now I get an error message saying I am not authorised to view this resource.

Do you have some documentation on how to setup djf acl for hikashop?

Sorry for the gazillion questions Nicolas

I have used Jupgrade to transfer my site to 1.7 from 1.5 and all is well, except that HS isn't upgrading as you know, and I need to transfer the data over.

That aside, how do I find these tables to remove if they are in the "jupgrade folder":

"Then, you need to go to phpmyadmin and delete all the jos_hikashop_ tables from the new website"

I'm scared I am going to delete the wrong ones.

Thanks

Thanks

Hi Nicolas,

Do you know how to transfer the databases if using spupgrade? extensions.joomla.org/extensions/migrati...omla-migration/15609

At the moment, both the live site and my "upgrade" site are on the same database, so I cant delete the tables.

Do I need to create a new database?

Thanks

Ha ha, I'm feeling a little red face now...

Guess I'll ask another stupid question: Why are my Hikashop contents not showing up in the 1.7 site? I moved over the images folder and languages etc...

Thanks and Merry Christmas

Thanks Nicolas, I didn't realise I needed to import the products: www.hikashop.com/fr/support/documentatio...hikashop-import.html

Also, is there a way to make sure the product URL's are the same?

I'm getting category number differences:

category_pathway-37

category_pathway-39

Thanks!

Hey,

Even if the database is the same? Im so confused

I have just upgraded my Joomla 1.5 to 1.7. Installed the most recent version of Hikashop and enabled all the modules. However, it looks like nothing gets picked up from the database. Currently I have my old website running from the root folder (with serious issues, but that is another story), and the new site in jupgrade folder. I would have assumed that they both would be able to use the same data from the DB, but nothing shows up in the 1.7 and no data is available from the back end either.

What is happening and how to fix that?

I was thinking to export data from the old site and import it into the new one, but wasn't sure if that would run me into even more troubles with double entries etc.

Is there a step by step list available anywhere for regular upgrades?

Thanks!

Hello Nicolas,

i followed all steps from above and have a problem, that because i use different access levels for users in Joomla 1.5 and have different access levels in Joomla 1.7. So, now i'm locked out of Hikashop in Joomla 1.7. I can see values in Access Level, but i can't submit new values (no Save button available). In jos_hikashop_user i changed id from 62 to 42 for super user, but it doesn't solve the problem.

solved, i updated values in jos_hikashop_config and now i have access to all hikashop features
