I plan to migrate a couple of sites from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 2.5.

I am using Joomla 1.5.25 and Chronoforms 4.0 RC3

I already started trials with JUpgrade, the forms are not migrated.

What is the best way top migrate forms without having to rebuild them.

Hi Larion476,

There isn't one. ChronoForms v4 is structurally different and there is no automatic upgrade path :-(

You can copy and paste over blocks of code but then a lot of tweaking is required and, in the long run, rebuilding is probably the easiest route.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the answer, although this is not want I expected or hoped for.

I thought we could do something with the Backup and Restore form functions.

Regards.

Damm, that is a lot of work.
Isn't is possible to get V3 working on V4 ?

The installation works only i can't get into the component

Hi mgdejong,

Not that I know of. I think Max decided that the Wizard script - which is a large part of the admin - had to be substantially re-written to work with MooTools 1.2/1.4 and it was better use of his time to re-write from scratch.

Hi Bob,

Then i have an problem,
we've created an very big form with a lot of code.
i can copy/paste the fields but we also use a lot of "javascript" and php validation.

where should i place these items, creating te form costs me about a month and my boss don't like it if i should start all over again.

Hi Meinte,

The JavaScript can either go into a Load JS action in the On Load event or you can add it to a separate .js file and load that from a Custom Code action, or from my Load JS File action.

The PHP validation can go into either a Custom Serverside validation action or a Custom Code action. (The serverside validation action will load Error messages for you if you need them.)
