Thread: from 3.0.0003 to dolphin 5.6?

Hi

I run 3.0.0003, my site still free, it's not important for me to delete all data of tables in my old database, i only want to install dolphin 5.6 and migrate only profiles table and photo's members to the new database of dolohin 5.6.
how can i do this?

Pain in the butt......I just did a migration from 2.1 to 4.1


Best thing to do is the following

Load new aed in new temp directory and temp data base


copy your profile table to your new temp data base but rename it to profiles_temp

This way you can look at what has changed between your version and the new version.

Add all missing fields from new profiles to old profiles, make sure to follow all same Char lengths ect...

Also look what your table may have that is missing in new AED profiles table and decide if you want to keep or omit....

Most of it was pretty close there were only a few minor changes between 2.1 and 4.1.
You can do all this within phpMyAdmin

However, I would recommend doing a complete overhaul and re-write of AED 5x to get it they way you want it first then convert. There are many security problems with all versions of aedating mainly I think be cause they don't bother testing anything, basically they write the code if it almost functions then they release it.

Keep an eye out for security holes while your browsing through the code.

so that's my two cents

Yes - but going to 5.6.5, for example, also involves changes to the profile image names and directory structure.

This is why we have our "Upgrade Service".

Thanks for answer
But if i do this?
1- Delete all my old database and all folders and files
2- Install dolphin 5.6
3- Delete profiles table ( of dolphin 5.6)
4- Create structure and data of profiles table( old version aesating 3.0.0003)
5- Run all sql from ver3.0.0003 untill dolphin 5.6 concerning only profiles table

Is it those steps true

Well - we don't usually delete databases.... just make copies and/or rename.

As for running the scripts - you would run it against your OLD database, not a new fresh one.... it is an UPDATE not a MERGE.

Doing just the profiles table is troublesome - what about all your user messages and so on - do you want to loose that?

Also - there is the issue of your "language file" which needs to be imported into your language database tables. So, once again, it is not just profiles.

Also - this will only do your Database - not your photos.

We have written special scripts to handle all the tables and the photo conversions and offer that as part of our "Upgrade Service".

I want to save only profiles table and images ...

no matter - it's all the same steps.
