Hello, I'm about to migrate my site from Joomla 1.0 to 1.5. I have avoided this for a long time but the time has come.

I'm confident in how to go about this, EXCEPT for the JEvents and DTRegister migration.
Obviously this is the most important part of my site... so I'm looking for advice and or experiences/guidance from those they might have trodden my path before.

Can someone provide me with any advice before I go about it?

I do have the option of just starting the JEvents and DTRegister from scratch but I would prefer not to.

Cheers

So I've done the JEvents migration part which was very well documented from them, and went quite smoothly.
Now for the DTRegister migration tool. I can't find anything about it.

Please tell me there is one available?

There is no special trick here. The database structure in DT Register from 1.0 to 1.5 is the same. The migration tools are needed when data needs reconfigured during the migration process. JEvents for example is completely different from 1.0 to 1.5 so much instruction is needed. That is also why we made video tutorials for that.

For DT Reg, copy your old jos_dtregister_ database tables into the new 1.5 database. Then simply install the new 1.5 version on the 1.5 site. The database will be updated with some new items, but you will have all of your old data in place and ready to go.

Appreciate your reply, but I couldn't wait... so I just redid all the records again.

Was ok, because I took the time to redo the custom fields with the new options now available to me.

The 1.5 version of both JEvents and DTregister ROCK! Love em!

My newly converted site... www.mtbskills.com.au

Thanks
