Support Forum

Every time that you post a problem, PLEASE add the Joomla and the extension's versions and revisions (for example: Joomla 3.3.6, Contact Enhanced 3.3.5), PHP version and Server's Operating System. If you only manage only one site it is easier if you edit your profile and just add that information to your signature. Don't forget to add a detailed description of the problem. If possible, write down all steps to simulate the problem.

Before submitting a new post, PLEASE make sure you are running the latest version, test in different browsers (IE, FF, Chrome,..) and clear Joomla and browser's cache after every change you make.

Also, most questions are already answered in our FAQ and in iFAQ and Contact Enhanced documentation pages.

Hi, we are using joomla 1.5 version and would like to see if there is a way to upgrade it to joomla 2.5 without installing the fresh one?

Dear tanwarricha,

I usually recommend to use jUpgrade. The last jUpgrade version I have tested was not upgrading third party categories, but I have not tested with the latest version; I have contacted the developer, but he didn't reply to me;

Anyway, using jUpgrade will save quite some time with the migration; If it is still not migrating third party categories, once migrated you will have to install CE for Joomla 2.5 and it will finish CE migration; The only problem is that you will have to manually create CE categories and assign to Contact and Custom Fields;

In case you do not want to use jUpgrade you can proceed with a manual migration:

In order to achieve this you will need a little experience with PHPMyAdmin and SQL;

First of all you will need to create a full database backup, just for safety reasons, then perform these steps:
1. In PHPMyAdmin:
a) Select the "Export" option;
b) Select the tables below to export (#__ stands for the Joomla 1.5 database prefix for your installation);
#__contact_enhanced_details
#__contact_enhanced_cv
#__contact_enhanced_cf
#__contact_enhanced_messages
#__contact_enhanced_message_fields
c) Select the Format to SQL;
d) Export the selected tables;
2. In the exported file or content, find out which database prefix you used for the new installation, usually j17_ or j25_, then replace your old Joomla 1.5 prefix for the the new one;
3. In PHPMyAdmin, run the query;
4. In the migrated site install Contact Enhanced 2.5 and it will perform all other migration tasks;

I hope this helps.
