I have saw some people talking about problems with upgrades in Cs-Cart. We have a lot of posts here about this since 1.xx versions. For this, I (me, myself) prefer to make a CLEAN INSTALLATION from a new version.
(sorry if you are from the group of people who will think could be better to divide this topic in some - I think everything has relation with other)
Some time ago I started a thread almost about same thing:
2.0.12 -> 2.0.15 problems: import products / manufacturer addon - Installation & Upgrade - CS-Cart Community Forums
Using XAMPP for Windows - 1.7.4
PHP: 5.3.5
phpMyAdmin: 3.3.9
Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.17 OpenSSL/0.9.8o PHP/5.3.4 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1
Versão do cliente MySQL: mysqlnd 5.0.7-dev - 091210 - $Revision: 304625 $
My basic steps are:
- Install new version (local or in the server - [size=“4”]this time I choose local[/size]).
- Translate new language files (had problems with this, too)
- Import categories and products (with images) database (from the older version 2.0.15)
- Import clients and orders database (from the older version 2.0.15)
- Adjust some settings like shipping method and others things.
Problems (maybe BUGS)
About DATABASE
- I could not import the PRODUCTS data I exported in Admin side from the store 2.0.15. When I try to IMPORT (administration > import > produts = php?dispatch=exim.import§ion=products), nothing happens.
It says… UPDATING… and nothing happens after 20min.
There is no product inside the catalog.
DATABASE
I need to IMPORT CATEGORIES, PRODUCTS, PRODUCTS DESCRIPTION, USERS
I think about to use a software to compare database structure. Maybe Beyonde Compare, maybe winmerge, maybe (if one of 2 others did not work), Talend.

[size=“5”]IS THERE ANY DEFAULT UPGRADE FROM CS-CART TEAM or others members or do I need to do it by myself?
[/size]
Some time ago I read about a service/software from a member:
IMPORT CSV and Products Management - Third-Party Add-ons - CS-Cart Community Forums
There is another member here (participative one) that work with this, too.
BUT, I'D LIKE TO LEARN TO DO IT BY MYSELF.

PROBLEM 2. Not possible to translate some words.
EVERYTHING INSIDE “ADJUSTS” MENU (Appearence, Company, Dynamic HTML, E-mails, General, Google Base, Image verification,… and Upgrade center) I CAN NOT TRANSLATE.
I start DESIGN MODE (Translation mode) and can change (translate) the word, but when I save it or do something else like a refresh in the page, the word go to the old language format (english).
