Hi,

I have some 40+ forms made in ChronoForms 2.5 J1.5 RC3.1
Is it possible to restore them in ChronoForms 3.1 RC5.5 ?

I have tried 1 and it produced some errors

Restoring the whole form failed Failed, error : Unknown column 'extraemail' in 'field list' SQL=INSERT INTO jos_chrono_contact (id,name,html,scriptcode,redirecturl,emailresults,extraemail,emailsubject,onsubmitcode,onsubmitcodeb4,attformtag,submiturl,emailtemplate,paramsall,titlesall,autogenerated,published) VALUES ('','sollicitatieformulier','

Hi Marc,

Click the 'Upgrade SQL and Load Demo Form' link in the Forms Manager to upgrade your DB tables - take a DB Backup first though.

Hi Bob,

I did that, but it still produces that error when trying to restore from the older version.

Hi Marc,

It loks as though the backups may have their origins in an even older version. There hasn't been an extraemail column for several versions now.

I'd be inclined to backup everything for safety, then add the two missing columns extraemail & emailsubject into the jos_chrono_contact table, see if that lets you restore. Check the contents of the columns and put them in the right place by editing the forms to add Email Setups. Then when all is well delete the two columns again.

Actually, I'd probably set up a new Joomla install and do the covnersion on that, then backup from there and re-restore in the live site.

thank you so much, this really work for me.
