Hello.

Anyone working on a converter from v5 to Osclasspoint release? Is there any other way, paid or free?

Thank you

Hello and welcome.

I'm sorry but there is no one working on any such project. There is no way that i know currently, to switch from 5 to 8.

If you do, there are several DB issues with Locations (countries) and cities, that is geo issues.

Thanks for the reply. So what we do now about that? What are the alternatives i have?

Start from scratch with Oslcasspoint 8? I have around 2000 members and 9000 ads ....

I completely understand, others have posted the same question as yours. I'm afraid there is no other safe way but to start fresh, or stay with what you have now.

Not the best solution but in case you want to try:

1. BACKUP first.

2. Remove all listings (from the backend) and also remove any locations.

3. Manually upgrade to Osclasspoint 8.

That way you can keep the users. Not a good solution but better than starting from scratch.

* You will have to add a country/locations (or more) again and IF you have done any modifications to locations, they will be lost forever.

@maximus All i can say is that updating/upgrading from Mindestellar releases to something else, created a LOT of issues immediately or after a few days.

NOT RECOMMENDED.

If you decide to switch, you MUST start from a new/clean installation.

Guys sorry but i do not follow.

The dev at Mindstellar (Osclass 3.9 and Osclass 5.x) decided to kill the project. It has been abandoned for almost 10 months now.

Version 5.x is NOT compatible with anything, it is buggy, no themes available. What ELSE do you need?

This is a DEAD AND BURRIED project.

Just switch to whatever you want, it is better than nothing.
