Hello

I need to upgrade our website from J2.5.27 into latest J3.4.1
Currently I have JS 3.1.0.4 installed there.
Can you suggest best way how to do upgrade?

I would like to transfer everything added by users and JS settings.
Because of many other components installed on current website, and because of my overall bad experience with Joomla 2 to 3 auto-update for some other much simpler websites, my basic idea is to do this:
1. Create new Joomla 3 installation,
2. Install latest JS there,
3. Duplicate and backup current website,
4. Upgrade JS in backup environment to get latest table structure,
5. Manually copy tables, files and settings into new installation.

Would you recommend my procedure or do you have better suggestion how to migrate JS?

Thanks,
Regards

Hi, Hrvoje.

Copying tables is always a risk... I rather advise to try this: extensions.joomla.org/extension/jomsocial-user-import-export
If you want fresh J! 3.4.1 installation with JomSocial only.
Faster and more comfortable...

- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

- Use the "Thank You" feature on any post that helped you
