Where are my custom slides??? Problem after Update! was created by rocksack
I tried to update JJ Social Slider Pro (2.3.1 to 3.0.1).
It doesn't work with the Joomla-Updater. So i downloaded the new version here and installed it. But now i miss all my custom slides!!
In the new version there is no tab "custom slides"!
What can i do?
I have to updat many sites and don't want to start from the beginning!

Hi rocksack,

The 3.0.0 update is a completely rewrite of the module, so unfortunately there was no easy way to write an update script to migrate all custom sliders.
Updating to v3.0.0 means custom slides will have to be recreated.

You will now see a "Sliders" tab, which uses subform fields, allowing you to create an unlimited number of sliders.

It's late here now, but if you're available tomorrow, I'd be more than happy to work with you to try and make the update process easy and potentially come up with a migrate strategy, if possible.

Kind regards,
Lodder

Hi Lodder,

here it's late too. ;-)
Thank you. It would be great to work on a update-strategy. I have many sites with many custom sliders. To recreate them all will be lot of work, that my customers don't pay...
So i need some kind of migration. To lose the data / custom slides is not good - i think there are more users, that are "surprised" when all sliders are gone after the update. ;-)

See you tomorow. Thanx!

Hi rocksack,

Do you have Skype or Discord so we can communicate more easily?
