TOPIC: Migrating DT Register data from Joomla 2.5.8 website to Joomla 3.6.4 website

Could somebody advise me how to migrate DT Register data from Joomla 2.5.8 website to Joomla 3.6.4 website? Is it save just populate tables in Joomla 3.6.4 database with data from the old website?

Thank you.

All you need is detailed out in the readme file found in the package.

I have the same question. In addition we have community Builder and Jevents as well. Any help is appreciated.

I have the same issue and tried this with no luck. I get errors. I then went to uninstall previous version first and it tells me: "Fatal error: Declaration of DtrTable::load() must be compatible with JTableInterface::load($keys = NULL, $reset = true) in /home/pelham5/public_html/administrator/components/com_dtregister/lib/dttable.php on line 214"

Any idea what I can do to get this to work? Files are gone after uninstall but the Administrator component is still there and can't be removed.

@tinetrix - same answer as above. Check the readme file in the package. Regarding CB and JEvents, you'll have to get migration instructions from each of them. The process is a bit different for each extension.

@rolandrogers - this would be an issue specific to your site, but I don't have near enough data here to give anything more than guesses.

- What version are you running of DT Register on the 2.5 site? It must be fully updated BEFORE migrating the data.
- You are migrating to a completely separate Joomla 3.x install, right? Different database? That should be the situation.
- Data must be migrated into the J3 database BEFORE you install DT Register on the J3 site. If it's already there, you must uninstall it AND manually drop all _dtregister tables from the J3 database. Then start over with the readme file instructions. If you can't fully uninstall the component (any component), it's a permissions problem on your site most likely. Files and/or directories are not able to be removed. Make sure /components/com_dtregister and /administrator/components/com_dtregister are fully removed. If you still see the components menu item in the admin, you'll have to manually remove that from your database. The reason that happened in the first place is not actually a DT Register problem though.
- once you have the J3 site prepared and you have fully update J2.5 migrated data, you can follow the readme file instructions. If it fails at some point, it's because something wasn't done right or there's some issue in one or both of your site configurations that is getting in the way.

I did read the read me and it told me I could update in Joomla v 3:

>>>>>
/// UPGRADING FROM DT REGISTER 2.7.8 or later (already in Joomla 1.6/1.7/2.5) ///

1. Backup your files and database just in case you experience any problems during or after the upgrade.
2. Download a copy of any CSS files, modified images, and the two language files IF you have made any changes to any of these files. If you haven't made changes, skip this step.
3. Set up your Joomla 3.0 site. You should be able to migrate from within Joomla without any extra steps.
4. Install the new version of DT Register for Joomla 3.0. You DO NOT have to uninstall the previous version first. Your records, events, configuration, etc will NOT be removed. Files are replaced but all data is left alone. This is actually the case whether you uninstall/reinstall, or if you simply install over top of the previous version. Just make sure you use the Joomla installer and NOT just manually replace files.

Step 3 here says I can perform the migration from within Joomla. Then I do Step 4 and that is where everything breaks.

So now I have a J 3.6.4 site with DT register uninstalled but with the database tables and records intact.

What can I do? Any help greatly appreciated. DT register 3 will not install now.
