Any scripts for migration?

Hi there, I was wondering if there were any scripts to migrate people from say Oscommerce, Zencart etc to Opencart?

I think it will be great for Opencart to have these tools as many people have established e-shops with OSC and ZC but want to move to a newer and better shopping cart like opencart. However because of the work involved in individually transferring orders, products, categories, customers etc they never eventually migrate.

I really think if Opencart has these tools for migration from OSC, ZC and other very popular shopping cart softwares many people would move to opencart. Eventually making opencart really really big success.

Personally I have tried OSC, ZC and Prestashop. All are sooooooooooooo freaking complicated to customize. Opencart was really the easiest. Hence my choice to absolutely LOVE opencart. Thanks Daniel!

Just my 2 cents worth...

Vimal.

Just did publish an oscommerce migration tool (sorry until now only customers and orders).
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... ion_id=276
It works but there is one problem. OpenCart uses another password algorithm, so until now it is impossible for the customers to login into OpenCart with there oscommerce password. the contribution, which should allow that, does not work for that case. Maybe someone can help.
Oscommerce (ZenCart and some other shopping carts too) use the following function for password:
function tep_validate_password($plain, $encrypted) {
if (tep_not_null($plain) && tep_not_null($encrypted)) {
// split apart the hash / salt
$stack = explode(':', $encrypted);

if (sizeof($stack) != 2) return false;

if (md5($stack[1] . $plain) == $stack[0]) {
return true;
}
}

return false;
}

Is there a way to implement something like that to make OpenCart validate those passwords too?

Good work. I hope it helps people to convert from OSC to opencart. If we hve scripts for ZC and some other big ones too, Daniel can probably also use it in the fist page to market OC as people can update from really an outdated and bloated product to a more systematic and simple product.

Hey guys,

when I run the orders script it stops because it reaches maximum storage capacity, does anyone know a way to increase the amount php can handle?

If not I'll probably cut the orders records into three or four seperate SQL files, parse them through this, and then join them at the end again

Kind Regards,
Scott
