migrating to 1.5 - backedup forms not restoring

rodsdesign 19 Dec, 2008
Hi guys,

if I back up forms from a 1.0x site using CF 2.3.8 to 1.5.8 using CF 3.0 Stable - should they restore ok? or am I looking at recreating them all (there are about 15)...

thanks

Hi rodsdesign,

There is no automatic upgrade so you are looking at upgrading manually. I've just posted about how to do this in another thread. Basically, backup up your date and take backup copies of your current forms. Make a basic empty form in v3.0 and add a single email with To, Subject, From Name & From Email fields. Use copies of this basic form, rename and save them and then paste the main content back in from the cfbak files (open them in a text editor and copy and paste a section at a time).

This way take less than a minute per form - plus some time to debug and cleanup.
