Hi,
I can't find anything about this, but surely I am not the first who wants to do this...
we have joomla 1.0.15 running with nBill V1.2_10
what I want to do is migrate joomla to 1.5.21 (and eventually upgrade nBill to 2.x)
is there a migration tool for nBill data?
or - how do I make sure my nBill gets migrated to the new joomal installation?
and... should I update nBill to 2.x FIRST, then migrate Joomla, or the other way around?
domain will remain the same, I will probably setup the new joomla in a subdirectory first, do the migration, test, then move it up one level to the root, as I did with other sites.
kind regards,
Corine

To move nBill from joomla 1.0 to a new installation of joomla 1.5, first install nBill on joomla 1.5 (the same version as the one you are moving), then copy all of the nBill tables from the 1.0 database to the 1.5 database - you can either do this using nBill's own backup/restore feature, or using a tool such as phpMyAdmin. When the data has been copied, you will need to re-enter the license key for the new location because it will have copied the key from the old one which will not be valid.
It is entirely up to you whether you upgrade nBill before or after moving it, just don't try to do both at the same time!

If the website address changes you need a new key but if it is just temporary while upgrading you can use a free trial key.

and the main question now is:
where do I get a nBill v1.2_10 installation file with a free license key?
from your download section, I could only find the newer 2.x version
?
kind regards

Allright, my joomla migration is done, and nBill v1.2_10 is sort of working, but I have a few issues....
first, the tables are latin, while all other tables of my joomla 1.5.21 are now utf8.
is that a problem? How do I convert them, if this is neccessary?
then second: when I go into my orders and try to select a few by typing in a part of the product name, it doesn't give me all there is (I know what should be there, and it doesn't display). It looks like the pagination is broken somehow....
so my biggest question now is, do we need to solve this first and then update to the newest nBill version, or what is best?
kind regards

You can change the table types using phpMyAdmin if you like, although if you are upgrading to nBill 2, when you install that it will use utf8 anyway, so it is probably not worth it.
As for the missing order records, are you sure it is not just that the other items fall outside of the given date range? (as a new month has just started, some older records will not be showing up by default now unless you expand the date range)

I did install the new nBill, and migrated my data and in the new nBill, I get all my product that I select, so whatever was broken in v1.2_10 is fixed after migration.... as far as i can tell!
now to get my payment gateway back to work and I'm all set :-)
