Can I migrate ChronoForms data when upgrading to Joomla 2.5

eddie_konczal 17 Jan, 2013
I have a Joomla! 1.5 site with ChronoForms 4.0 RC2.0 installed. I need to upgrade this site to Joomla! 2.5.

Is there a way to migrate the ChronoForms data from the Joomla! 1.5 site to the Joomla! 2.5 site?

Regards,
Eddie

Hi Eddie,

If you backup the forms from the Forms Manager in Joomla! 1.5 you can restore them into Joomla! 2.5.

OR, you could install CFv4 on the new site and then copy over the ChronoForms tables to the new database. That should also copy over the forms.

You can similarly copy any database tables with form over from the old database to the new one. The table prefix may well change so you'd need to re-connect any actions that use the database to the re-named tables.

Note: CFv4 RV2.0 is quite old - I don't think that there will be any problems upgrading from that to the the current version but you should make sure that you keep backups just in case you hit a glitch.

PS For other readers - this is only correct if you are transferring from CFv4 on Joomla! 1.5 to CFv4 on Joomla! 2.5 or later.
