Converting legacy data to 6.2
Conversion is not an update
JoomLeague 6.2 is not compatible with JoomLeague 6.1.x. Its database schema is a completely new, sport-profile-driven design. Do not:
- Install 6.2 as a direct update over an existing 6.1.x installation.
- Copy files, extensions or templates from 6.1.x into 6.2.
- Import a 6.1.x database or SQL export directly into a 6.2 installation.
Doing either will not produce a working site.
Use the external conversion service
Supported legacy SQL dumps are processed through the dedicated conversion service:
The service performs an external extract-transform-load process and produces a new package for the universal 6.2 schema. It never updates the source website. Import the generated package only into a separate, clean 6.2 test installation and review the included conversion report before relying on the result.
Availability for a particular legacy release is determined by the converter's current source-detection and validation report. A successful data conversion does not make old extensions, templates, overrides or database tables compatible with 6.2.
6.2 is a development preview
Test any migration thoroughly before relying on it for anything that matters.
