    Red face Can I transfer/upgrade from a osCommerce Online Merchant v2.3.1 site to OscMax?

    Hi,

    I'm currently running a osCommerce Online Merchant v2.3.1 and wish to upgrade to OsCmax. Is this possible / easy to do? Will I loose all the work I have done on my current site?

    If so, what is the best way of going about it?

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Thanks
    Dan

    Both osC 2.3.1 and 'Max 2.5 are so new that there is no automated migration, at this current time.
    Can your products, orders, customers etc. be transferred? Yes.
    Can your images be transferred? Yes, with some caveats.
    How easy is it to do? Answered by a question: Are you clued up on mySQL database structures, a bit of PHP/HTML (for your template) and possibly filename manipulation (for images).
    Will I loose all the work I have done on my current site?
    Not all the work but it depends on how much customisation that you have done.

    You will need to migrate your design over manually, there is no automatic way to do that. Any decent web designer would have no problem doing the template work.

    The attached SQL script is a portion of what could be required for the database migration (it is only one method, of a few). It is untested at the current time.
