Re: X-Cart 4.5.0 (ex 4.4.6) is available for beta testing
I have a question about upgrading from XC 4.2.3 to 4.5.
Our current store has many custom mods, none of which we need any longer. Because of these mods, our database has been modified when they were implemented. Therefore, I fear that an upgrade would be a long and maybe expensive process. To simplify matters, can I just export the key fields from our current database (products, categories, orders, customer info) into a CSV file, then import it directly into a new 4.5 store? Would that work? D

Re: X-Cart 4.5.0 (ex 4.4.6) is available for beta testing
These mods probably just added new fields to existing tables and/or new tables. Neither will prevent an upgrade. You will be better off doing the database upgrade instead of trying to export/import. Not everything can be exported and/or imported. After the database upgrade you go through each table and delete the extra fields added for mods and tables as well. Just make sure you have backups before doing that. You can compare table fields with original XC tables from the distribution pack

I did mine using the built in x-cart database backup feature.
The only tables backed up were xcart tables, It did not back up the files from the installed mods that I had. Remember to backup before you do anything.

Re: X-Cart 4.5.0 (ex 4.4.6) is available for beta testing
One other thing I have to do, which I forgot to mention, is to get rid of all our detailed product images, which XC does not do in bulk. So, my scheme was to export everything into a CSV file, minus the said images. QT told me that would work. I just want to know if the rest of it will too.
Also, I don't think we need to export everything, just the main stuff (products, customers, orders). D

Re: X-Cart v4.5.0 released
The final version is available in Heldesk. I am just curious how QT released it so fast. A couple weeks ago it was offered as a Release Candidate. It is the fastest testing I ever seen.
I would like to know what is going on with 4.4 branch. v4.4.5 is the last one? What bugs and features are planned to be fixed or offered in 4.5 branch? Please note that updating every version is like a pain in the ass for those who made custom work.
