Title: Migrating your data from OpenCart Version 2.1.0.x to Version 2.2.0.0 (TEST ONLY)
Post by: Randem on March 13, 2016, 03:08:59 AM
DO NOT ATTEMPT AN IN PLACE UPGRADE!!!
ONLY ATTEMPT AN UPGRADE/MIGRATION ON A COPY OF YOUR DATABASE!


These upgrade scripts were made because the upgrade script that come with OpenCart do not work so we decided to make one that does.
We also have made some fixes to issues that were around since v1.5.6 and are not fixed in the current version v2.2.0.0.
You should NEVER operate on a live environment unless you ABSOLUTELY have to! No Professional would have you do any different.

This is for testing only!!!

This is being tested with the upgrade path of v2.1.0.x to v2.2.0.0 ONLY!!! (for now) - Issues to expect in v2.2.0.0 (http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=159554)

We suggest NOT to move to v2.2.0.0 for it is not production ready yet.
The highest version you should migrate is to v2.1.0.2 with our fixes applied until the OpenCart developers correct the flaws that prevent v2.2.0.0 from being production ready.


After installing the OpenCart v2.2.0.0 software, replace the upgrade scripts of your v2.2.0.0 install with the attached scripts then run the upgrade.
All the script should be replaced with the ones in the archive.
Just upload the contents of the unzipped folder to your OpenCart root folder.

Let me know if there are any changes that should or are required to be made...

Be aware that your MODS may not work at all for the code has changed a lot.
You will also need the updated installation of VQMOD for OpenCart for v2.2.0.0 (http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension/info&extension_id=19501) and VQMOD Manager (http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension/info&extension_id=19188)
