    SOLVED Joomla 2.5.28 to 3.5.1 Migration

    Posted 5 years 11 months ago
    • Hi all,

      I just finished migration as mentioned above - not too late, hopefully ;-)))

      To compare origin and destination both installations run in parallel at the moment.

      At the 2.5.28 installation I use Gantry 4.1.21 together with Ximenia responsive V1.3.
      At the 3.5.1 instalation I use Gantry 4.1.34 together with the same Template.

      Gantry 4.1.34 has been installed again after migration, the template has been migrated together with the Joomla core.

      If I have a look at the template manager settings, all are identical.

      However The result ist not ...

      While the origin is working correctly, the destination site only shows menu items at the navigation positions of the template, but nothing else.

      When I drive the mouse across the page, I can see the links showing up, both for showcase articles and for navigation menues. I'm able to click on the links, but don't get any content to see.

      The same effect is true for the visible navigation menues in the navigation positions of the template: clicking on a link shows no content.

      Any idea what might happen, and how to solve this?

      Regards

    • Hi Mark,

      thanks a lot for your reply.

      I cannot post login data, because I made a copy of the live site to a local development installation to test upgrade there.

    • Giving me pages of code doesn't really help.

      It's the installer that is giving you issues and that will not work on J3.5.1 - you need to update Joomla to J3.8.6 first before attempting to do any template or Gantry updates.

    • Hi again Mark,

      this means, you want to tell me, I should migrate to Joomla 3.8, install Gantry 4.1.34 and then install the template Ximenia?

      I agree, the installer of the template seems to be the problem. But as we want to keep Ximenia, will the template installer work better with Joomla 3.8?

      Regards from Bavaria

    • Do you migration.
      Update joomla from 3.5.1 to J3.8.6
      Update gantry to 4.1.34
      Update Ximenia to v1.10 (latest) - use "standalone" package - be careful to use the ximenia type you are currently using (fixed or responsive version).

      Yes the installer and ximenia and Gantry all work on J3.8.6

      Regards, Mark.
