    help question 1.2.6 to 1.3.8 - Upgrade or Start FRESH???

    Yes would like to upgrade an old site 1.2.6 to the newest zen-cart..

    I know there isn't many items in the store.. but not sure how many customers they have???

    Would it be best to:

    1. Start FRESH with 1.3.8
    2. Start fresh with 1.3.8 then is there a way just to upload the customers
    3. Do the upgrade / db upgrade to the newest version???

    What is the best way that other users found to do such an old upgrade..

    This is for a clients site..

    thanks for you help...

    You can preserve the DB and all that it contains BUT there were too many templating differences to migrate cleanly.

    Best to do a fresh install of 1.3.8a, reconstruct the template to resemble the old site using the "custom" named template system and the template overrides system. when this looks done. Import the old db and do the DB upgrade. You will have to re initiate the template.
