Hi there

I run my own torrent site, and have always been a joomla fan, so this was really interesting... now, since my site is established, and I don't want to start from scratch, is there a way of migrating my installation (xbtit v.2.0.0 - revision 559) to your frontend?

Hope that's not vague - basically, my tracker runs off xbtit v.2.0.0 - revision 559 and I'd like to know whether it's possinble to shift it to your com.

Thanks in advance.

I guess it's possible. The only possible problem I can see is the user password encryption.

The component uses the normal xbtt tables with some values changed. I guess xbtit also does the same.

I'll install this on a parallel installation and give it a whirl... so what would I do? I'm not a huge IT tech head, so would I install a clean version of joomla, then install your com, and drop the sql db from my existing installation onto that replacing data? would that work?

You can try to export and import the database. Just do some tests and check the table fields. I believe there are some differences between the tables.

I'll check for differences - I just hope that once the fields have been identified and modified, this will work... I'll keep people posted of my progress (or failures - I hope not) so that others with similar situations can follow.

If you find any issues please tell me. And if you need help I can also try to migrate it. I just need access to a test database.

That would be much appreciated - how can I share my two dbs with you? My existing one for jooma (new installation) and my existing torrent one - maybe I'll just export them, zip them and PM you a d/load link - would that work?

Thanks.

That would work. You can also email them to visigod_AT_visigod.com

Thanks for your assistance - I have sent an email with the link... thanks in advance for your help.

I didn't get the email. Try to send to visigod @ gmail.com (remove spaces)
