Upgrading - What if I install the latest and copy ?


Recommended Posts

Hi, it's been a week we are trying to upgrade from 1.4.7 to the latest 1.6.11 in test.

we have gone through a lot of issues and problems, both with 1-click upgrade module (automatic) and manual attempt.

Lots of different technical problem, that we have to search in this forum.

We decided that it's impossible to upgrade our real shop, and we think about this :

 

What if we install a clear new version (1.6.11) and try to copy files (customizations, we don't have a lot) and import and copy our Data in the new Database, it wouldn't be easy and workable ?

 

Thanks

You likely wouldn't be able to copy your customizations from 1.4 to 1.6, without refactoring them.  The code has changed quite a bit. 

 

The database has also changed significantly, so you couldn't just export and import the data.  You would have to knowledge of the database structures, and transform the data, just as the upgrade process would do.

 

You could look into migration services (do a google search for "prestashop migration") which would effectively export your data from the existing store, transform it, and then import it into your new 1.6 store.  But of course there is a fee associated with that.

 

I have performed many successful upgrades, so if you are looking to hire a professional, feel free to send me a PM and we can work through those details.  I should be able to get your store upgrading to v1.6 which would keep your existing data intact.  Then you can continue to customize the store as you need.
