I've just written a howto: Migrate to Xoops Cube Legacy from xoops.org > 2.0.14 and ImpressCMS. It is quite long. When I review what I wrote, I wondered: Why did I do such things? Is it worth doing all those? Then I thought there must be a better way.

I found that there is no significant difference between DB structure of XCL and others. Then it must be very easy to migrate from one to another. Yes that's.

This is the diff between DB structures:



Confirming this I successfully went to XCL without losing any data :)

Things that are migrated successfully:

- Altsys 0.58 (block/permission/template/language constants utility)
- Protector 3.17 (security module)
- multiMenu 1.15 (malaika-system multimenu module)
- sitemap 1.03 (GIJOE's sitemap)
- tellafriend (GIJOE's tell-a-friend module)
- waiting 0.95 (waiting content manager)
- istats 2.1 (Site access stats module)
- mylists (custom module)
- marquee 2.41 (instant-zero marquee module)
- rw_banner 1.5 (banner module)
- chcal (custom module)
- attach (files attacher)
- happy_linux 1.40 (ohwada's framework)
- happy_search 0.53 (search module with google search)
- d3pipes 0.60 (RSS feed module)
- logcounterx 2.71 (Site access stats module)
- Uploads data, avatar, smileys, private messages, users, groups
- news 1.54 (instant-zero news module)
- smartfaq 1.08 (FAQ)
- pico 1.6 (5 instances)
- d3forum 0.82 (forums)
- xoopstube 1.03 (video module)
- xpress 2.05 (wordpress for xoops. Later I replace it with wordpress by Mikhail)
- d3downloads 0.82c (download module)
- d3xcgal 0.23 (D3 version of xcGal module)
- xwords 0.46 (based on wordbook module)
- mylinks 1.10
- Above modules data

Are there anyone interested in the detail steps?

Conclusion: the wiki How to upgrade from XOOPS 2.0.x JP can be applied for xoops.org and ImpressCMS. Thanks minahito for the doc. It worked perfectly for me.

Further words will be added later.....

Here we go: How to upgrade to XCL from XOOPS 2.0.x / ImpressCMS

It turned out that SmartFAQ (ver.1.0.8) does not work well on XCL

The problem is registered users or guests cannot read (view) SmartFAQ regardless how permissions are set. Only Webmasters can. I guess there must be something wrong with its category/faq permissions system that is not compatible with XCL.

Fixing SmartFAQ to have it works on XCL is just beyond my skill

I am looking for an alternative to SmartFAQ.

Any suggestion?

Avtx, I'm not a PHP developer, but... I'm coding a tool to recode and fix many possible incompatibilities issues with the new modules. Please, look:
http://xoopscube.org/modules/xhnewbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=576&post_id=3426#forumpost3426

The enCube can recode smartfaq module in xclFAQ module..
