Was this information Helpful?

I made my first and only ecommerce website with ubercart earlier when ubercart was just introduced.

Now, I want to convert my ubercart 1 website to either ubercart 2 (drupal 6) or ubercart 3 (drupal 7).

I need suggestion whether I should convert to ubercart 2 or 3? The problem with current ubercart 1 (drupal 5) is that I have coded some main (core) files like: css, template etc. I'm not a coder or technical savy guy so what should be best version for me?

I want to add all products from strach but however I want to retain all users info and their purchase order info. How should I go about it? Should I convert from ubercart 1 to ubercart 2 then to ubercart 3???

Isn't there a way of getting user info and purchasing info and then save it in ubercart 2 / 3 and then add new products from scratch? Is this possible? I don't want to go on converting from ubercart 1 to 2 then to 3?

And, can someone recommend good ubercart themes (free and paid)? I see topnotch themes but really didn't liked it.

Thanks!

Re: Re: Need suggestions for converting ubercart 1 website to ei

Make a backup of your site, then try upgrading from Ubercart 1 to 2, then Ubercart 2 to 3. There are no upgrade routines from Ubercart 1 straight to 3. All your data should be preserved; if you want to recreate your products after that you can just delete them and start again.

If you encounter any problems during this process then please post in the issue queue at http://drupal.org/project/issues/ubercart as the upgrade code has not been widely tested, so the more reports we receive, the better we can make this process for everyone.
