Topic: Importing comany data

I do not see any data importing modules for v2.3.x
Will the modules for v2.2.x work?
Or should I install an old version, import the data then upgrade?

Thanks,

They have not been upgraded yet. So, yes, you will have to use the older version to import and then upgrade.

Re: Importing comany data

Relating to this topic, I recently installed 2.3.0 for the first time, but would like to have the benefit of import modules.  I would especially love to try the FoxPro import module, but not sure which version to revert back to.

Can I use the Backup and Restore module in the following way? :
1) backup data in 2.3.0
2) install 2.?
3) restore from 2.3.0 backup SQL file

Thanks very much

Re: Importing comany data

No, it is not backward compatible. You can never install a 2.3.X in a release 2.2.X.
But if you are handy in PHP, you could try to upgrade the script to 2.3.X. You will find some short instructions elsewhere in the forum regarding this. You can search for that in the forum search.

Re: Importing comany data

Thanks Joe - since this is a new install of 2.3.0, I only have company data entered, so I will just re-enter it in 2.2.11.
