Hi Jan,

Okay, but can you tell me what steps are different than those listed to upgrade Phoca Gallery from J2.5x to J3.x in the post guide at https://www.phoca.cz/documents/50-phoca/ ... -joomla-25

Thanks.

Hi woodyf4u,
Thanks but as I mentioned in a prior post in this thread, the topic thread you linked to is more for experienced SQL programmers which I'm not.

I need to upgrade my Joomla sites from versions J2.5x to J3.x. Is there an upgrade/migration download to convert my Phoca Gallery component and files from J2.5x to J3.x versions? I use Phoca Gallery on my sites and I was hoping that there is an easier way to upgrade Phoca Gallery for the migration without having to get a programmer to help me with the SQL scripts and other steps in the guide posted in the thread viewtopic.php?f=30&t=25731&p=96944#p96944
I'm not a programmer so running SQL scripts is risky for me and I do not want to make a mistake and corrupt my website database or files. If you don't have a Phoca Gallery download that will do the migration from J2.5x to J3.x then can you recommend anyone that can help me with the scripts and steps mentioned in that other forum thread?

Let me know if there is a way for a novice who does not know much about SQL scripts to migrate from J2.5x to J3.x.
Thanks.

You don't have to be a SQL expert.
The script is already prepared as you can read.
The only thing you have to do is change the database prefix in that script.
You can do that easy with Notepad++.
There you can use search and replace in the script.
When its done, copy the script text and add that to phpMyAdmin (SQL).
Click at Start and the job is done.

If you should follow the 1.5 to 2.5-update docs of Phoca, you have to do a simillar method.

OK, it would be fine if there was an easier way. For example with an update tool of Phoca.
But that isn't developed at the moment.
