How do I move products from one shop install to another? Help Please

[h4mm1e]

Hi,

 

I have an 1.3.1.1 installation that I want to upgrade and use a custom theme with.

 

after trying and failing several times, i'd prefer to use a fresh install of the latest prestashop, apply the theme get it all working them move it to replace the previous shop. no disruption that way!

 

 

I'm struggling to figure out how to do it without manually re-adding every product.

 

 

 

Thanks for looking in.

 

 

Regards,

 

 

Matt

Nobody? Surely I'm not the only person to ever want to move products from one install of prestashop to another.

you could do the following:

This method will bring in the entire 'other' system to your new build. Hope this helps.

• export the db of the site you want the products for
  
• on the new site via phpmyadmin:
  
  • Changed the following fields (yourprefix)_configuration table:
     
    PS_SHOP_DOMAIN mywebsite.com.co
    PS_SHOP_DOMAIN_SSL mywebsite.com.co
    

ref: http://www.addons-mo...ps_shop_domain/

 

 

This will result in not being able to log into the back end, follow therse instructions:

See http://nickbartlett....-in-prestashop/

Change the following fields in settings.inc.php:

define('_DB_SERVER_', 'YOUR_DB_SERVER_NAME');

define('_DB_TYPE_', 'MySQL');

define('_DB_NAME_', 'YOUR_DB_NAME');

define('_DB_USER_', 'YOUR_DB_USERNAME');

define('_DB_PASSWD_', 'YOUR_DB_PWD');

define('_DB_PREFIX_', 'YOUR_DB_PREFIX_'); DONT FORGET THE SUFFIXED UNDERSCORE

define('_MYSQL_ENGINE_', 'InnoDB');

define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME/');

I am going to want to do this in the future...that's my interest in this topic. I've also seen this asked many times without an definite answer...I don't have the time right now to try it myself....good luck!
