 Post subject: How do I upgrade from EQDKP 1.3.2f to EQDKP Plus?

Hi all, please forgive my ignorance (particularly if this is the incorrect place to post this information).

Can anyone point me in the direction of detailed installation instructions for EQDKP Plus?

I'm running the latest EQDKP 1.3.2f perfectly, but for the features/plugins/visual looks of EQDKP Plus, etc, I'd love to convert...

Long story short, I had a hell of a time trying to "upgrade" my existing DKP site to make EQDKP Plus work.

So I've installed a "new" and fresh EQDKP Plus v0.5.0.3 and I'd like to just migrate my old database information into this fresh install -- unfortunately it doesnt workout too nicely, presumably because of differences in table structures etc.

Are there some instructions on how to do this migration anywhere? (is it possible?) --- alternatively, is there a better way to "upgrade" my traditional EQDKP installation?

Thanks for your help.

/cast Resurrect on supremely old post

So, the question posted here was never answered. Is this possible? I'd like to upgrade from EQDKP to EQDKP plus, but I'd rather not lose all of my data in the process and have to start over. Any reply (even "not possible") would be nice, just so I know for sure. Thanks.

First of all: Backup all of your data (files and database) and move them to a safe location

The next steps are recommended by me, but never tested myself:
1. Delete all files within your dkp directory
2. Upload all new files from our complete archive
3. Edit the config.php to fit your system (sql information)

Browse your site, login and try to go into the acp. There you need to run all updates.

Is there a specific eqdkp plus version I should port over to? I assume the newest one would be alien compared to eqdkp 1.3.2

No, just pick the newest one. But please be aware of the fact, that we cannot ensure that this will work. And please try to contact your host about your php version. 4.x is end of life and unsupported! There will be security flaws.

Update on this: I made a separate install of EQDKPlus and I imported my data from my original EQDKP page. For the most part, things worked out reasonably well. There are some things that I've had to change, and others that I don't know how to fix. A list of what I have noticed so far is below

[1] Death Knight was class_id value of 14 with EQDKP, it is value 20 for Plus, so I had to go in and edit that.

[2] Goblin Race was race_id 12 in Plus, whereas it was 11 in EQDKP, also had to go in and adjust on the database end.

[3] This is the one I'm working on trying to figure out now. When I imported all the items over into the eqdkp_items table, I found out that there was now an field for item_gameid that required the 5 digit item number (can get them from wowhead.com). I went through and updated the 560 items in the table (man that sucked) but the problem still persists.

You cannot click on an item to go to viewitem.php page. It gives a 500 internal server error. There's a new table in the database called eqdkp_itemIDs or something like that and I noticed when I uploaded a raid post transfer (as a test) that table got some entries in it.

I'm thinking I need to tie that table into the eqdkp_items table, but I don't know exactly what needs to be done. Any help here? You can see my 2 versions (I kept the old one intact for the time being) below:

Original EQDKP: http://rapture.byethost16.com/eqdkp/listmembers.php?s=
EQDKPlus version: http://rapture.byethost16.com/eqdkp-plu ... ers.php?s=

~~
As an aside of sorts, I'm not sure if it's because the conversion issues or what, but the EQDKPlus version seems to be slower to load things than the original. Any help as to potential issues or if someone has done this before, let me know. Thanks

Any ideas on what is causing this issue I'm having with the viewitem page?

Check your webserver error log.

I can't get the logs apparently. I use a free hosting company and they won't give me the logs with a free account. I can't afford to have the paid hosting. Any other ideas?

UPDATE: Turning off itemstats in the admin area fixed this issue for me. I guess since my host doesn't have CURL enabled for me, the page was 500 erroring out whenever I clicked on an item.
