Is it possible to extract data products?

[tawnos]

Such as photos, meta tags, descriptions, etc so I may import to another zen-cart site?

I have absolutely no idea what you are referring to.

Try to "re-explain" what you are after...

[tawnos]

sorry.

I currently have a zen-cart site with products, meta data, product descriptions, etc. Is it possible for me to extract all data and import it to my second zen-cart site?

[schoolboy]

Yes...

Possibly the easiest way is to "CLONE" the whole site (make an exact copy of it).

In the tutorials/faq there are guidlines for "moving a site". If you follow the technique, it is the same as "copying a site".

Well i don't need to clone the site 100%.. just the content.

Reason being the current site is 1.3.7 but the new site will be 1.3.8. So is it possible to just clone the content?

The challenge is the RELATIONAL nature of data in the database. ZC cross-references data in a LOT of instances. While is is possible to move data from one dbase to another, this is complicated and time-consuming.

Compounding your challenge is the 1.3.7 - 1.3.8 incompatibility.

Your best bet (and fastest option is this)

1. Create a COPY (clone) of the 1.3.7 site.

2. UPGRADE the new site from 1.3.7 to 1.3.8 using the proper upgrade techniques.

3. Using ZC Admin Console on the new site, REMOVE data and other dbase elements you don't want/need.

(I use the above technique often and it is a LOT faster than trying to fiddle with data in phpMyAdmin.)

Thank you for all your help.
