Testing and importing database from 1.3.1.1 version

[nac78]

Hi,

 

I installed version 1.6 to a test server and I reset all tables, customers, products, etc.

But I want now to import the customers, products and orders from a 1.3.1 version database.

 

- Is this possible to do through phpMyAdmin?
- Does the 1.6 database structure differ from 1.3? Are they compatible?
- Do I have to include the same carriers to be able to show the past orders for customers in the new version?

- Is there any instruction available for doing this?

 

Thank you in advance!

I don't think you are being fair to disparage the forum especially as you are not an active contributing member.

 

What you are asking for is not a recommended path to upgrade, this is why you are not getting straight answer.  At best it's considered a manual upgrade and only a task for 'advanced' shop owners, which does not seem to be you.

 

to upgrade you should follow the recommended PrestaShop guide.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend, maybe my reply seemed offensive but I just got very dissapointed for the lack of information regarding database feed manually. I'm not a basic user, I can handle manual procedures, and that's what I'm trying to do, but the thing is I searched everywhere and there is no mention of how to import eg. customers and other relevant data from a 1.3.1 shop to a 1.6.8 version. I remember something about the database structure changes, that the data structure is not the same anymore. But I would like to have more specific on this, specially since I'm handling with 1.3.1.

Everything seems so different from 4 years ago, the documentation was very clear and I remember the Prestashop team answering very fast and trying to help.  And I may have not contributed lately, but I did help with problems of other members when I installed the first time and will be very pleased to contribute with others in the future.

Please, just give me a hand if you know about some topic or webpage with instructions on the issue, I didn't expect any ready-answer to my problem, of course I can do it myself. Just some info, that's it. 

Thank you for the reply and any information you can bring!

look, you can paint your op and response however you like, if you want community support than it's best to keep your opinions to your self and state goals.  As you state that you are 'very' experienced then come participate in community, maybe you get back what you take.

 

and I did give uou a 'hand', again lack of appreciation is showing for free advice.

 

Please stay on topic.

 

step one: create a test shop (copy of your production shop)...you can not move forward without this

 

if you can create the proper environment then you can test auto and manual upgrades.

 

you were already provided with auto upgrade, here is manual upgrade.
