Multiple errors while migrating from Joomla 3.6.12 to 4.4 using AwoCoupon 4.0.0.8

Hi there,

I am currently migrating a Joomla 3.6.12 to 4.4. After getting AwoCoupon 4.0.0.8, I tried installing it, overwriting the old extension.

The first time, I encountered a

Directly trying the installation once more raises

which I consider is a side-effect of the first installation not being able to get completed.

Can you give me some hints about this?

Regards,

Niko

Hello,

Did you make a backup of the awocoupon tables before updating?  I assume you are updating a joomla 4 site right?  And what was the previous version you were updating from?

I think the best approach would probably be to

- install a fresh copy of awocoupon on the joomla 4 site

- delete all the awocoupon tables created

- add the old awocoupon tables

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

Hi,

the previously used version was 2.5.9.2 pro having date 2017-10-13. Will try the approach you suggested as soon as I can spare the time.

Yes, there is a backup available and I am trying to update AwoCoupon after migrating to Joomla 4.4 due to API incompatibilities (e.g. due to

0 Call to undefined method Joomla\CMS\Application\SiteApplication::isAdmin()
/is/htdocs/dir/test/plugins/vmcoupon/awocoupon/awocoupon.php:19)

UPDATE seems that there are already files missing. I will restart from scratch and let you know about the results.

Hmm, not sure the upgrade will work directly to 4.x.  I think you should first update to the latest 3.x version on a joomla 3 site before upgrading to 4.x

Hi there,

I am finally working on the J4 migration again, upgrading from AwoCoupon 3.6.1.0 to 4.0.1.1.

After migrating Joomla and while trying to install the new version, I receive "Unknown column 'session_id' in 'where clause'.

Any quick hint on that?

Thanks in advance!
