Guest Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 If you backed up your database in text form it can be done easily. Delete all the existing products and sql all the product tables. BACK UP YOUR CURRENT DATABASE to make life easy if you goof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥toyicebear Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 You could do it this way.... 1. Export all your old products from the previous mysql database and import them into your new mysql database.... 2. Copy all the product pictures from the old image folder and add them to the new image folder. 3. Now all your previous products inc. pictures should be active and available in you new shop.

Guest Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Add ORIG to the existing DB name to save it. Even better for a fresh install, back up your current database. Rename your old DB to the backups name and upload it. Add ORIG to the existing DB name to save it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥toyicebear Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 If you have done backups from inside the admin of your old install...then you have a db copy file in the admin/backups folder of your old site..... If this is the case then you can use this file to add your old products to your new shop..... Othervise i guess you will just have to start over and add them again......
