Hello.
I have some foolish friend/customer (actually 2 of them) that went months ago from Osclass 3.9 to Osclasspoint 4.4, while i told him that probably there is no way back.
So now, he wants to go with Osclass 5.x.
Anyone knows if that is possible? I have done some tests and there are several db errors and warnings.
Thanks
His version alters the tables and also changes location ID's so you cannot easily go back or change to 5.0. I guess one has to go through all the tables to see which are altered and then import tables. May be Defected has more information.

Yes i do know about locations ids changes, still he hasn't changed/added anything from those. So they are from 3.9.
Also i do know there are some new tables for locations data.
It is impossible to check each and every table. Also if i do this, what should i revert to? Very complicated and risky.
@aficionado Do you know the reason why they are switching from osclasspoint to Mindstellar osclass?
I am now running osclass 3.8 and I want to upgrade. I am in a confusion, there are 3 osclass available now. I striked out osclass evo. Then osclass point and osclass by minstellar are there. Which one should i select?
They are switching because of the "commerciality" of Osclasspoint and because their support is a bit unsupportive and rude.
What to use? I can't suggest anything. Mindstellar lacks of themes and plugins, since with 5, nothing old works. Right now i struggle with a customer to make everything work with 5, and i fail totally. He has to remove several plugins and there is no substitute for them.

Just keep this in mind: If you go with a different release channel, going back will/is hard.
okay
@aficionado Can i go to osclasspoint if I upgrade to osclass 5 from mindstellar? Do you have any idea?

Well i have no idea. I do know that going from Osclaspoint 4.4 to Osclass from Mindstellar 5.x is not that easy, but not impossible.
But i always tell people that going back and forth to other channel releases is not a good idea, mainly because of DB structures. Most listen to me, some do not. And then i have to solve those issues 🙂
@aficionado okay. SO which osclass and what version are you using?
5.0.2
5.0.2 with a HUGE ammount of issues, because practically no old theme or plugin works 100% ok.
The reason may be Osclass 5 "moving-around-of-files" or/and PHP 7.4 or even PHP 8. I dunno, i'm just a webmaster.
And i'm shocked that they continue to develop version 5 without ANY theme or plugin available. Who is gonna use it that way, to a commercial/production site? No ONE. No ONE. You can't even BUY something for Osclass 5.
I do use Osclass 5 because i'm an old-timer with Osclass (8 years?) and i like to test things.
I updated some old customers as a favor to them, and i think i should have not. Because now i'm stuck .....

Okay. I think i will stay in 3.8 for sometime. Wait for things to get stable.
@navjottomer please check this
