Recommended migration path from Joomla/VM 3 to Joomla/VM 4

Hello Seyi,

is there a documentation for the recommended upgrade path to Joomla 4?

I deactivated AwoCoupon in Joomla 3 and migrated to Joomla 4. On installing AwoCoupon 4.0.1.0 over the old version I got errors, so I removed the old folders.

I am still getting the error:
Unknown column 'image_config' in 'field list'

Having a migration documentation from the beginning might help to avoid any issues.

Regards

Stefan

Hello,

Your tables are not updated.  Did you do this:

- load the awocoupon dashboard page, which should automatically upgrade the tables

Hi Seyi,

thanks for the help. It works now.

Initially I did the first step only, including deleting all folders, but it did not install.

This time in the test environment

- I deleted the old tables,

- installed version 4.0.1.0

- deleted the tables again.
- updated the live site from an old AwoCoupon 2 to the provided version 3.x.
- exported the awo tables from live.

- imported to the new installation.

This time the migration of the tables worked.
Inbetween I tried to use the old AwoCoupon 2 tables as I found in the live store and got a spinning wheel forever.

So it's important to upgrade the J3 install to your latest 3.x version I guess and then use those tables.

If you pin a documentation like that somewhere, it could help to finish this faster.

Thanks again for your quick help

Stefan
