Anyone know of a place that would give me information on how to Transfer users and web links to a diferant XOOPS web site on a diferant server

hi'

You could do it "easily" by using PhpMyAdmin. But before, make sure to save all your datas, on both site :
• database
• all files



1) About links

• on both sites, you need to have same module installated. Module version has to be the same on both site
• it would be preferable to have same XOOPS version. If not, make sure that your link module (eg mylinks) works fine
• export module tables (eg mylinks tables) with phpmyadmin. To do so, click on Export tab and select module tables (click + CTRL for multiselection)
• now edit exported file with notepad : search and replace table prefixe, "myoldprefixe_" by "mynewprefixe_"
• save edited file (with a new name to be sure you can redo) and import it in phpmyadmin. To do so, erase original one and click on Import tab...


2) About users

Same principe, but with one table only :
• export users table from your old site
• search / replace prefixe
• save file with new name
• import with PhpMyAdmin (before erase original one)

Warning : it is important that your both sites have an identical table users (same fields). You can compare it in PhpMyAdmin.


Above all, it is important to save all your datas before hanlding database !!

If it is a full move from one server to the other, follow the instructions of the FAQ.
For a partial import, see above.
