@Havouza said in PayPal Confirmation Payment window shows nothing: But I thought they still get redirected. The difference is that the Paypal page opens in an iframe that looks like it is from the shop. Or am I wrong? Aha, well that could work too. Main problem right now is that nothing shows up in the window...

Hey guys! Just migrated my PS 1.6 store to TB, looks good so far! I'm setting up the new PayPal module, but I'm not able to get anything to show up in the "Confirmation payment" window at checkout. What could the problem be? Also, is there a way to make it work like the old module where the customer gets redirected to PayPals site for login and payment?

Seems it was a permissions problem. Doing the migration after resetting the permissions made it go smoothly!

@mdekker Hey Mike! Good to see you again as well :) I have no idea what they run their hosting on, actually. It's cloudways.com that Lesley has been advocating: https://thirtybees.com/blog/thirty-bees-on-cloudways/ I'll rollback to a backup before the failed migration attempt, reset permissions, try again and then update here! :)

Don't know why the log file was renamed to .bin. Just change the file ending from .bin to .log or something and it should be readable.

Hey guys! Copied my Prestashop 1.6 install to Cloudways. After finishing, I installed the migration module and let it run. Unfortunately it failed during the database upgrade and I've ended up with a half-broken install. That's OK though, I can easily roll back with Cloudways and try again - but do you guys have any idea what can be done to avoid the failure and perform a successful migration? Here's a screenshot of what happened, I've also attached the full migration log here: 01496955982485migration.log image url)

Awesome. Once I get my store migrated I'll look into moving to Cloudways as well

@wakabayashi said in How is going?: @koskimaa said in How is going?: (plus all the useless analytics modules) has got to go. What do you mean with this? Google Analytics? @MockoB said in How is going?: I think he means that he will use just GA and all other by default statistic modules are completely useless! Actually I just need "available quantities" and "shop search" statistics. Maybe we need "how to" where it is explained how to disable every possible statistic modules without break the shop :) Yes, I meant exactly what MockoB said.

@wakabayashi said in How is going?: Nice work :thumbsup: Are the first 10 ids in category default or why do you skip? I hope ThirtyBees will deliver a clean installation soon. I hate this default/demo stuff... +1 on the clean installation. Default/demo stuff (plus all the useless analytics modules) has got to go.

Community theme says it's design by Prestashop. Correct, perhaps? Reference to Prestashop in tooltip on Performance page Missing tooltip on SEO & URLs page Main splash image(s) for default theme links to Prestashop.com (no image)

@wakabayashi yeah I saw that and looked into it a little bit. cloudways looks promising! Paying 30 usd per month for hosting that just barely runs my shop OK. Is there any info on best practices for getting TB up and running with a CDN, and which service is recommended?

@wakabayashi True, true. It's when databases gets in the picture where I don't always exactly know what to do. I use Siteground which provides cpanel. They're OK but I would much rather switch to a TB optimized hosting partner when the migration is complete.

I'm kinda with alwayspaws here, I wouldn't really know what I'd be doing if I tried step 2-4 on my own. Having some kind of documentation or tutorial on this would be nice - I'd make one if I knew how, of course.

@wakabayashi said in Eager to migrate from Prestashop 1.6: Michael Dekker is working on "auto" migration. You should wait till this module is out. When it's out keep in mind, that you should always make backups before you do a migration. I always make a clone of my live shop and then proceed it (upgrate/migartion) first there and see what happens. Thanks for the response! Ok, got it - I've worked with Michael before, he's a great guy. Gonna sit tight for the migration module, then! Regarding doing a clone of the live shop - what's your favorite way of doing so? I don't want to end up with multiple database copies that I don't know which one is live/most recent and screw everything up. / versioning noob. For the record, I do backup my shop every day through Codeguard. Don't think their service allows cloning/testing though.

So I've been running my shop on Presashop 1.6 for a while now, and I "hate" it because all of the bugs. Why do I still use it then? Well, I invested months and months of time learning it and a lot of cash in modules, plus it's the only system I know of that does true multi-currency and is still open source. Now, ever since I first heard of Thirthybees I've been super excited about it. So the big question is: Now that thirtybees 1.0.0 is out - how do we Prestashop 1.6 users migrate as smoothly as possible without having to re-build the entire store from the ground up? What problems could we expect in the migration process? What's the recommended way of doing a test migration before going live with the PS 1.6 -> TB migrated install? btw, love the new forum.
