peanut Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hi all I have an existing PS 1.4.7.3 however I'm not happy with it coz it has lots of errors and very slow. I plan to do a fresh install once 1.6 releases and only want to export selected data from my old store. Like customers, orders, vouchers, some products. Is there a clean and easy way of doing this? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prestamax Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I would first update your existing store to Prestashop 1.6. Prestashop 1.6 has some export features (haven't tried them out yet but maybe worth a try). Then you could export your customers, orders etc. as csv file and import them in a fresh installation. I think it is better if your export file is from a 1.6 installation which has the most recent database structure. I wouldn't trust in prestashop 1.4 data being compatible with prestashop 1.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prestamax Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Just tested it ... it won't work with the export/import features. You could probably use the sql manager but this requires some sql knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoPS Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 You can't, due to the different database structure. You might achieve something if you know sql as prestamax said, but this involves modifying the sql export after the update so that fields match up But you will have to create data for a certain number of previously missing tables too, so it's worth trying the 1.4 > 1.5 update first, then 1.5 to 1.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 thank u but I want to avoid any upgrade or connection to my old store. that's how terrible it is and I want to start fresh! Maybe I will need to do something about the data manually. I welcome any help on this! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
