Hi, I have used Stack Ideas products for several years now and are considering migrating a Jomsocial site to EasySocial.

Can you please advise me if there is a migration tool to complete this, and will it migrate all user profiles, images, albums and videos. It is also very important that discussion threads etc are imported.

Will the tool do these things?

Many thanks

Steve

Hi, I am a current subscription for Easyblog.

This was not a request for EasySocial support, merely some questions that will help me decide if I will migrate my Jomsocial website to EasySocial. I am sure you would understand that I am not going to do that unless I can be assured that I can do those things in my question.

If these questions should be in a different forum, please advise me.

Thank you for your reply, but unfortunately I don't understand.

I am not asking for details about how a migration is performed. I am only asking the following questions:
1. Will all user profiles be migrated. (yes or no)
2. Will all discussions threads be migrated. (yes or no)
3. Will all images, albums and videos be migrated. (yes or no)
4. Will all groups be migrated. (yes or no)

Basically, I just want to know that a lot of community contributed content will not be lost and will still be available in EasySocial if I migrate the website from JomSocial.

If the answer to the questions is "yes", then I am likely to purchase EasySocial. If the answer is "no" then I will stay with JomSocial. If I am given no answer, I am unlikely to spend the purchase price of EasySocial just so I can find out for myself - and if it turns out that it wont do these things, then I would of wasted my money.

As mentioned before, if there is somewhere else I should be asking these questions, can you please tell me where that is.

Many thanks.

Hi Steven,

I just came across your post and the rather unsatisfying answers to it. The answer from Warith "yes we can migrate your jomsocial to our EasySocial" still does not confirm that it can be done by any user. Sure a developer can do it if you ask for paid support. But have you been able to do it on your own?

Would be great if you could comment on this topic to provide a precise information because I am just in the same position you have been in before.

Thanks and regards,
Uwe

Hi Uwe,

You can do it yourself and you are not required to be a Developer as you can migrate them on your backend.

Please advice.

I also have the same inquiry as SteveM and am a bit turned off at the reply he was given. The only reason I continued to read on is Steves kind rebuttal and My need to learn an answer. OMG Abdul , sounds like translation lost some kindness because I have been happy with customer service over the last 5+ years here. I
I guess the only reason I still search for a result is I am getting concerned with Jomsocial. after being a customer over there since 2009. Back in the Azule days when I also used JomSocials MyBlog tool. I now use Stackideas EasyBlog and abandoned Jomsocial Groups for part of my need to a forum version of EasyDiscuss.
I have some pre sales questions and have looked to forums for answers from peer users but they are outdated. I understand and appreciate the need for component authors to make forums private to enforce users subscriptions. It works great for every user to contribute $100 to the total development and offer a refund if not found useful but to force some one to give up the 60 hours of development manipulation to learn that EasySocial does not suit the need is too much to ask. Please dont miss the opportunity to gain trust in your product by offering some public discussion on this topic. Or to learn need of a market you have yet to capture.

Hey Guys,

I would like to apologize on behalf of Warith as he was still a fresh member of the team and was under our training. It is certainly something which we need to review whenever we bring in new team members and I will personally take note of this.

Regarding the question posted by Steven, please find the answers below:


1. Will all user profiles be migrated. (yes or no)

Yes, every profile types in jomsocial will be migrated over.


2. Will all discussions threads be migrated. (yes or no)

Yes, they will be migrated over.


3. Will all images, albums and videos be migrated. (yes or no)

Yes, it will be migrated.


4. Will all groups be migrated. (yes or no)

Yes, all groups and events would be migrated as well.


Apart from the above, it will also migrate activity streams, friend connections, private messaging, user points over to EasySocial. If you ever need any assistance in migrating items over from jomsocial, please do let us know and we'll help you to migrate them over.

Cool Thanks. I truly like the idea of going total Stack'ed.

On my site, members/users sign up to events. we have two levels of events. Chapter Events which are just a Joomla Article and have onling payment and Kamp-Trip Events
the Jomsocial events package work well for the member/user self posted and organized KampTrip Events . We have been accustomed to the event display being more of an advertisement to the event .Stackidea Events landing page is busy with a great layout and many cool tools for member interaction.
but.........
1. ??? Is there a way to set up an event landing page so it looks less involved and more like the one we now use which is mostly article description.?

Hey Gregory,

Thanks for getting back to me on this and thank you for understanding. Based on what I am seeing at https://rainbowrv.com/index.php/list-of-kamp-trips/viewevent/770-ut-utah-elevation-gay-ski-weekend-2017 , this is actually possible with EasySocial.

You just need to configure the events to render the event details by default rather than rendering the time line, http://take.ms/8XSXH . Once you set the default tab to be the info about the event, this is what users are seeing when they first access the event page, http://take.ms/2ibPL
