Import lists

How can I import lists? I want to pick up my list from ver. 5

Hi,

There is a migration process when you first install AcyMailing 6.
Did you use it?

If you want to run it once again then go to your configuration -> security and then click on v5 migration 😉

Holy crap, I just did this and it deleted everything! I did it again and it brought them back. Why can't these share a database so V5 subscribers are in my V6 lists? I don't want to do this every time.

Hi,

That's because v6 is being rebuild from the ground up. I didn't check it, but v6 is probably using a different table structure. Besides that, v5 and v6 can co-exist, so you can test v6 before you do your final migration. Also, if your migration fails, you still have all your data in the v5 tables, so you won't loose any data.

Normally you do not migrate over and over agin from v5 to v6. You do it once, you do your testing and then you choose to make a final migration to v6 or you stay on v5 until all the v5 features have been added to v6.

That would all make sense if V6 was not still in beta. Yes, I do not feel this version is production-ready. I have had nothing but headaches using it. Maybe for simple D&D news, maybe it's OK.

So, for now, my client probably will use V5 to make simple news, and I'll use V6 so I can manage the bugs. I guess I'll know to import lists and users each time I send.

What about the unsubmissive? Will importing update these as well? God, I hope so.

V6 is a stable product. If you encounter any bug, please report it in this forum or via Acyba's contact form on their main website.

Not in my experience, it's not. I am happy to see this move to a new editor. How many years until it's more like MailChimp?

Why did they remove the module tag? I used modules for a way for my client to update the footer with certain things. Now I have to remember to do that. That little editor that pops up is awful. Or the code produced. The most important feature I would recommend at this time is each block has some CSS settings, like text size, etc. No clue why the link setting in not in there? The links are different sizes then the text because if you change the text it does not change the lin text site.
