If the design is broken ... you just need a new template ...

If the data is broken ... then that is a more difficult fix ...

Can you be more specific on your actual problem on what is broken?

This looks like you are missing some critical language files. This shouldn't affect your database in any way, and as Ajeh suggests, this is more about correcting your template than going through the pain of transferring your data into a new install and then applying the same faulty template.

Is your site spposed to be in English, or another language. If it's another language - which one and where did you get your language pack.

SQL syntax means your code is written incorrectly. Sometimes it could be simple like missing quote or bracket.

Unfortunately all we can see is that you have somehow attempted to execute as SQL something that isn't. Could you tell us more about how you made your backup and how you are trying to restore it?

Hi,
I want to copy my current Products/Photos and Categories to my new zen-cart website from an old zen-cart website both version 1.3.8.

How do I do that?

I do not want to list all my products again one by one on the new website.
I have changed a few things from the old to the new website that I don't want to copy the whole website, just the products, images and categories!

I am not an expert on zen-cart but I have an understanding of the basics and can follow what you tell me very well!

Awaiting your guidance.

Best Regards,
rlexyd

I had built a site using 1 and 1 hosting and their server got infected with a virus and it wrote encrypted php code to the top of every page in the site and killed it. I painstakingly removed them ALL! I uploaded the site after it was all fixed and with in an hour the same thing happened again.. I tried to talk to 1 and 1 and they just told me they don't do tech support for when things screw your site up from their servers not being secure. So long story short I had to move to a godaddy account because I knew it was safe and wasn't going to loose days of work again because of some hack with a pc in his basement calling himself a hosting company lol... Besides godaddy is really good about backing things up everyday and so you can always roll back any changes to html files and if you tell it to your database can do the same, you have to set it up though :) Probably not a bad idea if it's a live site ;)
