[cicalone]

Is it possible to import the guestbooks in 1.5 site to the new 2.5 site?
Thanks

Thanks. Following your instructions I imported the guestbooks from the old site to the new one, and in the backend I can see the guestbooks and the posts. But in the frontend I'm not able to see the guestbook. When I try to go to the guestbook I receive this message: "You are not authorized to do this action".

Hi,
check the "Access" setting of your Guestbook.

Kind regards,
Benno

Both the guestbook and the menu voice are setted on "public"

Hi, try to recheck the menu link to the guestbook and the options, try to see if the language is set Ok (e.g. set to all)

I am having the same problem: You are not authorized to do this action

However, when I ran the following queries:

UPDATE `jos_phocaguestbook_books` SET `language` = '*';
UPDATE `jos_phocaguestbook_items` SET `language` = '*';

I got the error message:

Error

SQL query:

UPDATE `jos_phocaguestbook_books` SET `language` = '*';

MySQL said: Documentation
#1054 - Unknown column 'language' in 'field list'

and when I opened the .sql tables that I had exported there does not appear to be any language field.

I checked the fields in my Joomla 1.5 version of Phocasguestbook (which was upgraded to the latest version 1.5.3 before exporting the data) and the language field does not appear to exist).

In the Joomla 2.5 version, I checked the language setting for each of the guestbook entries and they are all set to "undefined". Is there any other way of resetting these to all - if this is the answer to the problem?

Hi, the language columns are created while installing version which is working under 2.5
