Phoca v3.2.8 migrating from 2.5 to 3 ??

Post by shawie60 »

Hi I used your phoca galery on my website and its been great. However my hosting providor has updated PHP to v7 and the 2.5 Joomla site no longer works so i have to update it. My question is can I use v3.2.8 (already installed) on a joomla 3 site or will i have to update it first and if i do so will it install ok before the joomla core etc is updated to v3+
many thanks

As I have a backup of the site and database I decided to install the latest version of Phoca gallery. then i got the following error :
Fatal error: Class 'JHtmlSidebar' not found in C:\wamp64\www\gvtara25\administrator\components\com_phocagallery\controller.php on line 49

the site still works ok (seemingly) but is the error related to the fact I havent upgraded to joomla 3+ yet? or something else please?
many thanks (btw is there a way to post images in these posts?/ it makes it a lot easier)

Hi,
You should follow the guide I recommended. In short: At first export the Phoca Gallery database tables from your Joomla v2.5 installation, then uninstall Phoca Gallery, then bring Joomla to v3.8.2, then install the current Phoca Gallery version and import the data.
(btw is there a way to post images in these posts?/ it makes it a lot easier)
See Forum Rule #5:
If you have problem on your site, please paste the link to your site or link a screenshot of your site (store your screenshot on some image server and paste a link to this image into the post).
Kind regards,
Benno

with all due respect I did, upto the point where I tried to export the phoca information. my problem was, where is the phoca infrmation stored in the database? because i couldnt find any similar references as in your tutororial

Hi,
if Phoca Gallery v3.2.8 is installed in your Joomla!, you will find these tables in your database. (jos is the prefix and will be named differently in your Joomla!)
