Migrating plugin from Prestashop 1.5.x, 1.6.x to 1.7.1 or higher

Updated on

There are two different paths of an upgrade procedure depending on currently installed module version when you are migrating from Prestashop 1.5.x, 1.6.x to 1.7.1 or higher.

If you have ORBITVU SUN plugin version 1.0.8 or lower

  1. Disable Orbitvu SUN plugin on modules list.
  2. Upgrade Prestashop to the version 1.7.1 or higher.

    If you make a fresh installation of Prestashop 1.7.x and want to import old database to the new Prestashop, please make sure that:

    a) in (ps_)module table you have an entry with old plugin, for example:
    name: orbitvusun, active: 0, version: 1.0.8

    b) you imported old ORBITVU SUN plugin tables together with their data: (ps_)orbitvu_configuration, (ps_)orbitvu_log, (ps_)orbitvu_products_presentations, (ps_)orbitvu_products_presentations_history, (ps_)orbitvu_products_presentations_items, (ps_)orbitvu_products_thumbnails.

    c) you copied old plugin folder (modules/orbitvusun) to the new Prestashop's module path.

  3. Install the new ORBITVU SUN plugin for Prestashop version >= 1.7.1 and go to its configuration page.
  4. Enter the proper license key from your ORBITVU SUN account and save the settings.
  5. Above module configuration page you should see "Migration tool". If all necessary requirements are ok, then click "start migration".
  6. Once migration is finished, please go to the product's edit page and check if all presentations are available and properly linked.
  7. If everything is fine, you may uninstall and delete old module.

If you have ORBITVU SUN plugin version 2.0.0 or higher

  1. Disable Orbitvu SUN plugin on modules list.
  2. Export data (only data) from tables: (ps_)orbitvu_product_presentation, (ps_)orbitvu_product_presentation_item, (ps_)orbitvu_product_presentation_history to a sql file.
  3. Upgrade Prestashop to the version 1.7.1 or higher.
  4. If you have fresh database and installation of Prestashop 1.7.1, install the new ORBITVU SUN plugin and go to the step 5.
    If not, please uninstall and delete the old plugin and make sure that there are no tables and settings related to the old plugin:

    a) remove tables, if exist: (ps_)orbitvu_product_presentation, (ps_)orbitvu_product_presentation_item, (ps_)orbitvu_product_presentation_history

    b) in (ps_)module table remove an entry with old plugin, for example:
    name: orbitvusunn, active: 0, version: 2.0.2

    c) install the new ORBITVU SUN plugin.

  5. Go to the new ORBITVU SUN plugin configuration page and enter the proper license key from your ORBITVU SUN account and save the settings.
  6. Import data from sql file created in step 2, to the new Prestashop 1.7.1 or higher database.
