I want to start with a fresh install of joomla 3.2 and import my easydiscuss from my old joomla 2.5 site. How would one accomplish this task?
Hello Adam,

Sorry for the late reply as it's the weekends. You will have to do it in the phpMyAdmin. Please check out the short guide below,

To migrate from Joomla 2.5 to Joomla 3.0, here's the steps that you need to perform.

1. Open up PHPMyAdmin tool that is provided by your hosting provider and open up your current site's database.
2. Make a sql dump for all the tables that has the prefix of #__easyblog_*
3. Download the .sql file and save it on your desktop.
4. If your new site's database prefix also uses #__ , then you can skip this part. However, if you are using a different database prefix, you'll need to edit the .sql file that you've just downloaded, and do a search and replace of #__ with your new database prefix.
5. Open your PHPMyAdmin and this time, open up your new site's database.
6. You should see an import link at the top. Click on that, and click on browse. Select the .sql file and click the run import button.
7. Install the latest EasyBlog on your new site
8. Enjoy blogging! If you have any problems at this point, drop us an email and we'll take a look at this.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!

Adelene, thanks your thorough step-by-step directions. This really helps!
My question was in regards to easydiscuss and your answer talks about easyblog. Would the same solution apply for both?
Thank you.

Hello Adam,

Ah yes its applies to all our products actually. But I should have been clearer. Sorry about that. The EasyDiscuss tables are typically

##__discuss_xxxx

Hope this helps.

Thanks!
