Site Upgrading - Transferring Products

Hi Nicolas,

My current site is Joomla 1.5 and now has to upgrade to J2.5, but to prevent site crash, I have to rebuild a new site in another sub domain.

Now has to transfer all my products to new folder, any good ideas to do this task to save time?


Thank you very much!

export you csv file then import it again on the new site ?

and copy the images directly to the right ftp folder

From my experience - export shipping data from PhpAdmin and imported to new site - I can't view in admin panel.

So if export and import products are also from PhpAdmin, I think same problem will exist.

In the admin panel, just only import product, if can export from admin panel, it will be good. I am using essential.


Thanks!

Great! Found the "Export" button in admin panel.

Now, is there a similar way to export all my "Characteristic" sets, as I have a few sets in many rows of records - color; color & size; size.

And, if shipping data (a few hundreds of rates by weight) also can be done in this way, as I have failed to transfer from PhpMyAdmin.

Any ideas ?


Thank you!

Thanks Jerome!

Using sql format, it seems successfully imported, but it's didn't show up in admin backend ?

If I tried export and import by csv format, it will show an error message when import.

Am I missing any thing?

Thanks! Success
