Convert Loaded Commerce to OsCommerce

It is possible to use your database, once it is converted, but none of its files are useable. See this thread for the general idea of what is needed.

You can search the forums for converting a database. I know there have been other threads about It but I don't have the links recorded.

If you can't find a ready-made converter, or service, or specific instructions; you'll have to print out the schema (table definitions) for Loaded and for the current osC version and compare them. You'll likely have to do some mapping of different tables and fields and either manually convert the DB with phpMyAdmin or change the .sql backup of the Loaded DB manually (editor) or via a custom script to the osC schema. Any fields in Loaded that are unused in osC can be either discarded or just kept as extra baggage in case you find a use for them in the future. Needless to say, you'll have to carefully study both systems and understand what everything in the database is used for. And I shouldn't have to remind you to work only on copies of databases or their backups (.sql files).

Thanks, I'll try a manual database conversion via phpmyadmin. 

 

Dan, Loaded Commerce http://www.loadedcommerce.com/ is a system based on OSC but looks fairly dead, no templates or plug-ins I can find, forums do not work and no response from support when I informed them the forum register system was not working.

 

I just took over running a loaded commerce site, it looks like it was oscommerce originally but was converted to loaded commerce.

@@Dan Cole @@bikermanirl Loaded Commerce is what once was called CRE Loaded and is a fork of oscommerce. For the most part, the important tables, customers, orders and products, at about the same. They can't be directly used in the BS version but they can be converted, though I doubt there is a free and easy way to do that unless one is familiar with doing such conversions..
