Currently, I have "City" and "State" fields in JomSocial. The state fields are two digit abbreviations, such as "TX" or "CA". What is the best way to import these into EasySocial to get location data?

(I have a lot of users, so it is not so easy as to simply ask them to edit their profile to detect location)
In EasySocial, the JomSocial migrator actually respect certain fieldcode from JomSocial so that the migrator can map these fields into EasySocial address field. For your case, in your JomSocial custom fields, make sure your state field, the fieldcode is ‘FIELD_STATE’ (without the quote) and your city field, the fieldcode is ‘FIELD_CITY’.

Also, since your site has many users, I would advise you to test run the migration in your test site first so that if anything goes wrong, it will not affect your live site. Setup a test site and mimic your live site data into your test site and run the migration from there. If everything goes okay, then run again in your live site

Thanks, Ethan. If I do a test migration and it does not migrate completely, can I re-run the migration, or would that cause problems?

Hi Brent Williams,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

Yes, if you do the re-run again the migration, it will not cause any problem is because which data is already migrated, it will not re-migrate again, it will continuous the rest which data haven't migrate yet.
