Live test site

[duncanfeeley]

If I set up a Joomla 1.6 site to test on a live domain would using 2.2 to try it out be ok?

I use RT templates a lot and I know theyre planning to come up with some offerings for 1.6 before too long, Im keen to try 1.6 now its improved past beta, once RT come up with something.

Please look at www.agrodirectorio.com with Joomla 1.6 and MT 2.2

Suggestions are welcome.

When adding a listing with image, it won't let me save, but it works fine without adding image. Is there anything wrong?

Im still keen to try 2.2 on 1.6 when I get the time.

Is there any way to import a database from a 2.1.x site?

I imagine you have not had the time to update the importer yet.

I dont suppose its as simple as importing the database tables into the J1.6 db before installing 2.2 is it?

The upgrade script is ready on 2.2 Beta 2. What you need to do is:

1) Install MT 2.2 Beta 2 on Joomla 1.6.0
2) Drop all jos_mt_* tables
3) Import your existing MT 2.1.9 tables in to this new site
4) Login to your Joomla 1.6.0 administrator back-end and run this URL:

<yoursite>/administrator/index.php?option=com_mtree&task=upgrade

Give it a try

Nice, good stuff.

Sometime in the next couple of days I hope to hava chance to try this, knowing theres an upgrade path is reassuring.
