Every time that you post a problem, PLEASE add the Joomla and the extension's versions and revisions (for example: Joomla 3.3.6, Contact Enhanced 3.3.5), PHP version and Server's Operating System. If you only manage only one site it is easier if you edit your profile and just add that information to your signature. Don't forget to add a detailed description of the problem. If possible, write down all steps to simulate the problem.

Before submitting a new post, PLEASE make sure you are running the latest version, test in different browsers (IE, FF, Chrome,..) and clear Joomla and browser's cache after every change you make.

Also, most questions are already answered in our FAQ and in iFAQ and Contact Enhanced documentation pages.

Upgrade from Joomla 2.58 to 3.x

5 years 5 months ago #24645 by mwb12345
Hi,

I have an older site running Joomla 2.5.8 and want to move to Joomla 3.x. I have to make the first move to Joomla 3.5.1 first. Currently, I have CE version 2.5.9 at this moment. What is the proper procedure for your extension at this point? Will it make the transition or should I update or remove? If I remove, How do keep the current settings, templates, fields, and contacts?

Dear mwb12345,

You should NOT remove/uninstall, otherwise, all data and configuration will be lost.

I'll send Contact Enhanced for Joomla 3.5 to you, so you can upgrade to Contact Enhanced 3.5 first.

The upgrade procedure is just like the installation. Contact Enhanced will perform all upgrade procedure automatically when you install the newer version on top of the older one.

Don't forget to create a full backup before upgrading.

Best wishes,

Hi,

Okay, I attempted installation. I did get this error:

Cannot install com_contactenhanced 3.x in a Joomla release prior to 3.0
Component Install: Custom install routine failure
Package Install: There was an error installing an extension: com_contactenhanced__3.5.1.1___20160406_0855.zip

But I do see all modules showing version 3.5, the pacakge and component both show 2.5.29

Greetings,

You should first upgrade to Joomla 3.5 and then upgrade to Contact Enhanced. I should have mentioned that.

Best regards,

Greetings,

Have you already upgrade to Joomla 3.5?

The correct procedure is to first upgrade Joomla, then upgrade Contact Enhanced.

Best regards,

Yes, I did. I will have to revert back to older backup.

If you have already upgraded Joomla, that's the correct procedure, There's no need to revert back to older backup.

The error code you mention should only be displayed on Joomla 2.5 and older, that's why I'm having a hard time to understand what's happening exactly.

If the problem persists, please create a full backup and provide administrator access, so I can take a closer look. You can send the login credentials using the Support -> Contact Form.

Best regards
