I am returning to investigating TB after putting it on hold for some time.
The thing that caused me to give up was that while a clean install performed well, the migration caused me loads of issues. Even though I did manage to get the shop almost running, I had problems with urls that I could not reproduce with a clean installation (my PrettyUrl module with overrides was nuked already).
So, my question is similar to what other have been experimenting with:
Would it be possible to have a migration module that only focuses on an export-import of Products, Orders, Categories etc in order to carry over all relevant information from an existing shop into a fresh TB installation (not a migration).
I am aware I would have modules that has stored data in the DB that I may loose bu in my case, the main non default tables are from the review module and I guess I could figure out how to port them manually if I get all the standard Prestashop stuff migrated.
I have no clue on the feasibility of this but reading other posts from @mdekker etc it seems as exporting-importing csv files is something you frequently do.
So, is this something that could work? Supporting a TB migration not through update but from a 100% fresh install and ONLY migrating standard Prestashop tables using export-import? I just have a gut feeling that would give me 95% of my shop functionality up and running with a TB installation that is guaranteed to not contain any junk in the db, old overrides, deprecated module not fully uninstalled etc.
My shop is not complex afaik but it still has a 4 year legacy that I assume can cause all sorts of issues. A fresh installation just sounds so nice :-)
