Any help relating to moving HikaShop to Joomla 1.6 would be very much appreciated. HH.")* Hi, If you want to migrate HikaShop, you need to install it on your new website (you need to have the same version than the one installed actually on the previous website). Then, you need to go to phpmyadmin and delete all the jos_hikashop_ tables from the new website and then export the tables from the old website and import them on the new website. Then, via FTP, you need to transfer the content of the folder media/com_hikashop to the new website, the content of the folder templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_hikashop (if you modified some of the views) to your new website, and finally the languages/en-GB/override content (if you have some override translations) to the new website. The modules and menus you have for hikashop will have to be created again on joomla 1.6 as it's not possible to port them as long as joomla doesn't provide a migrator from 1.5 to 1.6... Note that you can use the DJF ACL extension in order to manage ACLs on joomla 1.5.

I just know that lots of other users are using it in order to manage ACLs on joomla 1.5 as it's the only extension which is compatible with the standard joomla groups.

Otherwise, you should copy the tables of HikaShop from the old database to the new one.

So I don't see why you would have to export/import ? Maybe you have both joomla 1.5 and joomla 1.6/1.7 tables on the same database with different prefixes ? In that case, you should delete the tables of HikaShop using the prefix of your new website and duplicate the HikaShop tables of your old website and rename the copy so that they use the new prefix.

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?

Any help relating to moving HikaShop to Joomla 1.6 would be very much appreciated. HH.")* Hi, Is the step by step to migrate to Joomla 1.7: If you want to migrate HikaShop, you need to install it on your new website (you need to have the same version than the one installed actually on the previous website). Then, you need to go to phpmyadmin and delete all the jos_hikashop_ tables from the new website and then export the tables from the old website and import them on the new website. Then, via FTP, you need to transfer the content of the folder media/com_hikashop to the new website, the content of the folder templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_hikashop (if you modified some of the views) to your new website, and finally the languages/en-GB/override content (if you have some override translations) to the new website. So yes, you should copy the hikashop tables from your old website to your new website database. Note that if you're not using the same table prefix from both websites, you will have to change the name of the tables after the import if you want HikaShop to pick them up. The modules and menus you have for hikashop will have to be created again on joomla 1.7 Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzE2NTUwLXVwZ3JhZGUtdG8tam9vbWxhLTE2P3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/register) to join the conversation. - **[mett](/forum/user/1080-mett "View mett's Profile")** - [![mett's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/1080-mett "View mett's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/1080-mett) Less More - Posts: 126 - Thank you received: 2 - - 14 years 9 months ago [\#36377](#36377) by [mett](/forum/user/1080-mett "View mett's Profile") Replied by *[mett](/forum/user/1080-mett "View mett's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Upgrade to Joomla 1.6](/forum/4-how-to/16550-upgrade-to-joomla-1-6#36377 "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.

HH.")* 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.
