Migration from previous version

What is the best way to migrate from Joomla 2.5.28 and EDocman 1.5.7 to Joomla 3.9 and EDocman 1.16.x?

Or alternatively to import approx. 8,000 data records and documents into a current version - without having to create each data record individually?

Hi,
It's difficult to implement it, but you can follow solution:
1. Using PHPMyAdmin to export all DB tables in site Joomla 2.5 with prefix #__edocman to .SQL file
2. Open .SQL file and replace the db prefix (of site Joomla 2.5) by db prefix of site Joomla 3.x
3. Import .SQL file into database of Joomla 3.x
4. Install Edocman into site Joomla 3.x
Good luck

Thanks for the answer

see in the text!

1. Using PHPMyAdmin to export all DB tables in site Joomla 2.5 with prefix #__edocman to .SQL file
That's the way I thought about it!


2. Open .SQL file and replace the db prefix (of site Joomla 2.5) by db prefix of site Joomla 3.x
This is a good hint - to do this before.

3. Import .SQL file into database of Joomla 3.x
4. Install Edocman into site Joomla 3.x

Here is the question - really create the database first and then install Edocman?


Of course copy the folder with the documents!

What is the one with the rights? - The documents have different rights -

If I output the Jommla users via SQL and import them again in the new version - does eDocman get these rights there?
