Hello Sunny,

It's best that you install EasySocial on your Joomla 2.5 site first and migrate the user's across to EasySocial. Once they are migrated, then migrate your existing 2.5 site into Joomla 3.3. That would be easier. If I recall correctly, you can upgrade from 2.5 -> 3.3 using the built in updater in Joomla.

Hi Mark,
Thank you or your reply, but we are planning to built from a scratch, as there is too much bloat on our current j2.5 site.

Is it possible that we put es on our current j2.5 site, and use php myadmin to export and then import into our j3.3 site?

regards

btw: i cant post a reply using google chrome, but replies are working on firefox, attaching screenshot

Why would you build from scratch... its a waste of time... and migrating everything is daunting task even for experienced developer

Heres what you should do

On J2.5 site before migration to J3.3,
- uninstall all non-joomla templates
- uninstall all non-joomla plugins
- uninstall all non-joomla modules
- uninstall all non-joomla extensions
- drop all tables of components you wont be using anymore
- delete leftover files from components you wont be using anymore such are those in "media" or "images" folder (be careful not to delete something that youre going to use on 3.3)

Now migrate to 3.3 using Joomla built in migrator.
You should be safe as at this point you have pretty much vanila joomla site but all articles, joomla modules and users will be preserved.

After migration, start building your "old" new site


Its much safer that way, and thats actually the method we deploy to update our clients sites. Though we do have experienced devs who could do the migration hard way, from scratch, i still believe thats sheer waste of time, and the method i explained is way more faster and better.

Yes, I believed Mark already suggested this in previous reply, after you migrate all the user in EasySocial from Joomla 2.5, then export all the EasySocial table and import all the EasySocial table in your Joomla 3.3 site.

Regarding with your can't able to reply in Chrome browser, can i have your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can debug quickly? Please advise.


Thanks for sharing Darko

Hi Arlex,

Thank you for your update, regarding the chrome screen shot i pasted, it was from your site (stackideas.com forum) i had tried using crome for posting this post and the error is still their.

secondly you've been hit by a lot of spam on http://stackideas.com/forums, i'm worried of my own site!!

Hello Sunny,

I'm really sorry that delayed of this reply,
You're welcome, I didn't see any screenshot you attached, am i missing something here?
Yes, it look like some of the spammers trying to spam in our forum, but everything will be fine.

You can put the information in the optional information field below. Don't worry about privacy. Only Support team can view the information.

Hi Mark,

We have started development of our website and are integrating our custom components to post on timelines in ES1.2.20, but eventually we'll use ES3.0.
Do you think there would be any changes in API or otherwise in ES3.0 which would render our cost in custom integration wasted?

Secondly i wanted to know if we can pass an Message from our custom component to all users timelines. We don't want "Posted by Admin"

example:
Our Custom component says:
1) "Username" recommended to buy "Article1" at a "Price1", View "Users Name's" recommendation
(Every time a recommendation is made a statement would be generated for posting on timeline)
2) "Username" is the top ranked analyst as on 10.00am
(This statement would be generated every hour)

these two messages i want to post on all users timelines without "Posted by Admin" i.e no posters username attached, it will be more like notification (As in jomsocial we give lastest members update on timeline)

regards

Hello Sunny,

Hm, do you mean EasySocial 1.3? Yes, in your custom app you can actually control the title output on the stream. However, the source items need to be generated by a user because the privacy still needs to be checked against the owner of the item.

Yes sorry, i meant EasySocial 1.3

Are there going to be major changes in core? Should we wait for 1.3 or our app of 1.2.2 would work without issues in 1.3?

Regarding the privacy checking, we need this to behave as system generated message on timeline. like:

Sunny recommended to buy HTC one for US$ 360. — 6 seconds ago (View scr1.jpg)

not like:

Hello Sunny,

Nope, there will not be any major change in the core except that Foundry has been renamed to FD so that it's easier to type However, the latest 1.2 should have this future class already.

As for your stream item, you should take a look at the existing user app that generates the stream for user logins. I believe this is what you are looking for

Hi Mark,

Just read your last comment and you said Foundry was renamed to FD, does it mean lines that call Foundry:: will return error? Or did you guys allow Foundry:: or FD::?

We created plugins that uses ES Foundry:: to get user's info.

Thanks,

Jackson

Hello Jackson,

It will still work as we will maintain the legacy class name FD is just a shorthand for Foundry. When you start writing hundreds of thousands of codes, your hand gets tired typing Foundry haha

Good to know Mark I would hate to think that I will have to modify several plugins when I upgrade to v1.3 later

Yes, I understand how easier a shorthand is. I love your coding style by the way, well documented and so much easier to follow.

Thanks!

Thanks Jackson

Yes, I believed Mark already suggested this in previous reply, after you migrate all the user in EasySocial from Joomla 2.5, then export all the EasySocial table and import all the EasySocial table in your Joomla 3.3 site.

Hi Arlex, I'm almost finished with my new site (I developed it with ES/ED/EB/Jreviews), now i want to sync the users from my old site to new site. (Only the user names, passwords & friends), so that old users can login into the new site without re-registering) I dont want the old data, as all users will start afresh

The issue i have is that in my old site (with jomsocial), the profile types were different, while syncing i want to migrate all users to a particular profile type in Easysocial.

Can you please guide me on the process.

Hello Sunny,

I am not really sure if you could actually "sync" the users on your new site if your new site already has users. Perhaps you should try to export the #__users table over to your Joomla 3 site? However, I strongly recommend that you use a Joomla 2.5 -> Joomla 3.3 migrator to migrate these users across.
