import V2.7.9 data into V5.5.6

User moon_1262 2025-03-13 16:02:05

Hey again.

So I chose the import path from a J3 LM install to a J5 version as per this tutorial : https://www.moonsoft.es/tutorial/entry/13-list-manager-jooomla-4/listmanager-migration-joomla3-joomla4

I imported the 10 tables into my new database but I am not able to find the 'import data from Joomla 3' button.

Is there anything else I need to do before this import in order to see the button ?

Thx.

Hi,
the conditions to show that button at the main configuration page of LM are:
- the current user has permission to create data (we'll assume this is ok, because you wouldn't see the buttons 'add, 'copy','add sample data'... otherwise, they are at the same toolbar)
- the system can find the main table PREFIX_listmanager_listing into your db schema, this must be the reason why the button is hidden. Can you please check that this table exists at your installation, also with the same prefix than your other Joomla 5 tables ?
