Migrate data from Hikashop in Joomla 1.5 to 2.5

Hi this is what I did:

1- install hikashop in Joomla 1.5 - worked fine
2 - import data from VM - products orders users imported correctly - worked fine.
3 - unistall VM
4 - Install Jupgrade - migration from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 2.5

After migration hikashop component was gone from the backend administrator so I reinstalled it.

After reinstalling all the data is lost in Hikashop except users:

But those Users are the users from Acymailing and not the customers we had correctly imported from VM.

So the thing is, I can set up all correctly in Joomla 1.5 but migration to 2.5 makes all the data in Hikashop lost and that bug with the users being caught from Acymailing.

Do I need to change databases or something? How is it possible that it takes Acymailing users as customers.

Regards

Jupgrade will not migrate the hikashop tables. So yes, there wont be any data in a new J2.5 site you have migrated. you need to copy and overwrite the hiashop tables in the J2.5 site with the ones you have in your J1.5 database.

Have a look at my other posts here:

Thanks

I will try it and let you know.

Any idea why Hikashop takes Acymailing inscribed users as customers?

Everyone that has signed up to recieve our newsfeed is taken as a customer in Hikashop. Not a big issue but not the way it should work no?

Regards

All the users of your website can be customers. The customers listing is just a listing of your users but which can display hikashop related information.

nicolas,

If you move from 1.5 to 2.5 but have a fresh 2.5 install (not using jUpgrade or spUpgrade) what about all the modules that were created on your J1.5 site, how do you get those into J2.5 for Hikashop. The menu's and modules are so important to making sure Hikashop works properly.

Do you have to re-create them all or can they be transferred as well?

thanks,

The structure of modules and menus between 1.5 and 2.5 is really different. It would probably easier for you to recreate them via the interface with the same options than on 1.5 then trying to migrate them.

Thanks,

For a big shop that could be a lot of work.

Can the hikashop DB tables be copied to maintain all the internal categories, tax configuration, products etc. and just the menu's / modules need to be done manually?

Has there been any consideration of making a migration tool to allow users to more easily move from 1.5 to 2.5 so that menu's and modules can be automatically converted?

Does anyone know if the jupgrade component handles the menu/module conversion properly?

thanks,

Yes, that's what I'm saying. ONLY the menus and modules have to be done again. All the rest can be moved easily by just copying the tables in the database via phpmyadmin.

jupgrade is compatible with HikaShop: redcomponent.com/forum/92-jupgrade/12007...shop-jupgrade-plugin but I don't know about joomla menus and modules.
