Hi,
I just installed new Joomla 5.2.3 and Phoca Cart 5.0.0Beta87.I exported products (CSV, XML) from my old J3 but there is problem to import to my new J5.After clicking "Import" imported is only 1 product (first on the list).
Few days ago i had no problem to import products from my old J3 to J4 and Phoca Cart 4.0.11
Any help please?
Thank you
Pawel

Hi,
Did you migrate from Phoca Cart for J3 to Phoca Cart for J4 following these instructions?
Then you can update to J5 and Phoca Cart for J5.
Kind regards,
Benno

No,i just installed fresh J4 and Phoca 4.0,but later i changed my mind so I deleted J4 and installed J5.
I tried to migrate J3 to J4 in the past but i had a lot of problems so that's why i decided to install new J5.
I want built new website (with new domain )and keep my old J3 website,so only what i want is import products from my old website (over 300 products).
Thanks

Re: Can't import products from J3 to J5
Hi,
As an idea: You could try to export the Phoca Cart for J3 product tables data via phpMyAdmin (only data, not data and structure) and import them into a freshly installed J5 with an empty Phoca Cart for J5. Then test everything thoroughly to see if it really works without errors! I did this with the sample data for Phoca Cart for J3 and it worked. But that's only nine data records and not +300.
Kind regards,

Hi,
I think it is too hard for me.I just tried but could not import into J5(some errors).Maybe I exported not data only?I don't know,i'm not expert.
Thanks anyway.I think I will add all products manually (it takes a few days or more) ):
I keep wondering why I haven't had any problems to export/import from J3 to J4.
Regards
Pawel
