OK, I am in!! Now that I have a fresh working elgg system, the real work begins.

The whole purpose of this excersize was to move my elgg system from a shared hosting platform to a dedicated. Now that I have the server working, I need to migrate. I did all of the suggested setps, but it's almost like the db is not synched. Here is what I did:

• Create new elgg site.
• Restore db from other site with same name
• db admin name is same
• updated the elgg config
• copied data

Now when I log in, still only the new site. Shouldn't my db have the old user info, etc?

I think I will start a new thread as this case has morphed. Thank you Kevin and Ben for your guidance!

Fair enough.  I'll look into why Gravatar is not working on my site to see whether the plugin or my own stupidity is to blame.

Matt, except for the plugins actually released with the 1.5 RC 1 package, very few have yet been tested with the new code.

There have been a few changes under the hood (all for the better, of course) and it will probably take a little while for existing plugins to be fully migrated.

For my own plugins, I've found that most of the changes are in CSS and the river/activity log. Not a huge amount so far.

This was the result of a bug introduced into profile/start.php which prevented the event chain performing how it was expected.

This has now been fixed.

Hello, th fil is here : engine/lib/languages.php

Note that this problem has been fixed in 1.5 RC2 (available from the downloads page).

Much better to install that rather than making this single patch as RC2 fixes a number of issues.

Ok, works fine with rc2

@ Ben i see on svn file media.php am Compare but not Difference

@jon pipitone I think it can be done with a plugin, overriding the dashboard, adding your HTML code. I have done that before with the profilepage, making modifications on /views/default/canvas/layouts/widgets.php/

have you tried the 'Doodle' plugin?

One of these is what your looking for. I don't know if they need any updating for 1.7 though.

It's being worked on. I expect to see something on this in the next few months. Elgg 1.5 is the priority right now.

So, we will have to wait to upgrade our 0.9 installation. Anyway, we have a development server with latest Elgg to see how it goes. Thank you so much for the info.

There are 2 plugins recently released to make that migration from Elgg 0.9 to Elgg 1.5, still in early stage. You can take a look at them:

Migration tool 1.0 beta

Migration 0.9 -> 1.5 plugin for all data (0.8.0)

Please, share your experiences with that and tell us how they are working. I hope we will have a good migration procedure in a little time. :-)

Some time ago i found a plugin here what may solve your problem, but i can't remember the name of this plugin

Just found: http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/ivan/read/16121/blogs-for-groups

Thank you so much for the info. I will try it and see how it goes. :-)
