Upgrade help from 1.2.5 to 1.3.7 please.

Hi

I have decided to be brave and move to the latest version. I have setup a clean install of the latest version and now got the template sorted so it looks like the original shop.

I need to move the data from my existing shop on 1.2.5 to the new database so that I can test all info is working. Then I was going to install all the contributions that I require and then finally move the whole site on to the current live shop server.

Can someone please give me some pointer of how I should take the data from the old database and install into the new version database.

Regards
Laurie

You could try using Easy populate to extract all your categories and products , I have used this to move a 1.2.7 site to 1.3.7 . and it works quite well.

as for moving customer data and past orders , Im not sure . You could just try and run the update on a copy of your 1.2.5 db and see what happens instead.

Hi chalfontgifts ... When we upgraded from 1.2.4 to 1.3.7, we just upgraded the database using the zc_install, and that worked OK for us, we had no problems with it.
