Migrate existing PMF (J3) to Joomla 4

Hi, 
We have an existing Joomla 3 website with PMF, we need to migrate the site to Joomla 4.
How can we export all settings of PMF to the new site, so we don't have to start from scratch, including the payments made? 

Appreciate your usual prompt assistance.

Thanks.

Hello

You can just export all tables with _pf_ prefix from your Joomla 3 site database, import it to Joomla 4 site database (assume both sites use same table prefix) and it will be fine

If the two sites use different table prefix, you need to open the export file, use a text editor to replace the table prefix to match the Joomla 4 site table prefix before importing

Hope it helps

ypdmd1_jos1 is my source database. I rename the prefixes in a text editor.
When doing this, I got the following error on import -
SQL query: Copy


--
-- Database: `ypdmd1_jos1`

-- Table structure for table `soft_pf_configs`
--

CREATE TABLE `soft_pf_configs` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`config_key` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
`config_value` text
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

MySQL said:

#1050 - Table 'soft_pf_configs' already exists

In the export source, better choose to add drop table if exist options. Then these tables will be dropped if it is exists and the error won't happen

Thanks! That worked.

Great. Thanks for the update
