Hi there,
I have a production website which runs on Joomla 2.5 and jomsocial 3.1. For various reasons, I do not want to upgrade that installation and I would like to start with a clean Joomla 3.4 installation and migrate the data from the old installation to it.
I have installed Joomla 3.4 and easysocial. Since the jomsocial migrator works only if the jomsocial exists on that installation, I did the following in order to make it work:
Modified jomsocial migrator to skip the checks if jomsocial exists and manually return the correct version
Copied the required jomsocial tables from the old database to the new one
After doing these steps, jomsocial migrator runs without any errors but the problem is that There is almost nothing imported. I checked the #___social_migrator table and everything seems to be there but nowhere else, for example no user in the user manager.
Then I though maybe the joomla users should already exist, so I started over with a clean installation and first copied joomla users from the old Joomla 2.5 to the new Joomla 3.4 and then did the steps above.
This time the users are there, but I think because they are synchronised with the Joomla users. But nothing else, no custom fields or any other information, though the migrator had successfully recognised the custom fields in both tries.
One thing I noticed on the migration log, I have this message for every single user:
in which the user id changes for each user but EasySocial profile ID stays the same (2) for all of them. Could this be a hint of something going wrong?
Otherwise could you please help with the migration issue?
Thank you in advance.
