Migrating data from Event Calendar to Event Calendar Pro

Hi Joe,

We purchased and installed Event Calendar Pro and we're wondering if there is an automated way to migrate data from the Event Calendar to Event Calendar Pro.  We were not able to find any documentation on this subject.

Windows 2008 R2/SQL Server 2008 R2/MojoPortal 2.3.8.1

Thanks for your help,

Leslie Jones

Re: Migrating data from Event Calendar to Event Calendar Pro

Hi Leslie,

This has been requested before and I have a to do item in our project tracker for it but unfortunately I have not been able to get to that request yet. I will make it a priority for the next update to Event Calendar Pro, sorry that I don't have an immediate solution for you.

Best,

Joe

Thanks Joe.  We're going to work on a stored procedure to do the migration.  I'll let you know how it goes.

Re: Migrating data from Event Calendar to Event Calendar Pro

Hi Leslie,

I've just created a quick and dirty import tool. It is just an .aspx page with inline code, you can download it from here. Extract it and put the EventImporter.aspx in the root of your site and navigate to it logged in as admin. It should work but you may want to try importing a single event first to make sure the time is correct and if needed you could adjust the code. If it works correctly for the first event just delete it from Event Calendar Pro then use the import all button. Keep in mind that the free Event Calendar did not use UTC, but Event Calendar Pro stores data in the database as UTC and adjusts them to the correct time zone for display.

Hope that helps,

Joe
