We are working on a development site and was using HikaShop.  There were several factors that did not meet our needs, so in looking at other options we found J2Commerce.  One bonus for your cart was the Migration extension which specifically listed HikaShop as a source for migration to J2Commerce. There was no plugin for HikaShop.

J2Commerce was installed and sample data viewed. After this preview, we decided to migrate the products in HikaShop into J2Commerce.

• Sample data removed
• J2Commerce Migrator installed
• Started Migrator and dashboard indicated that J2Store was not installed.

How do I migrate from HikaShop?

I have changed you to Super User.  Sorry for the delay.

Thank you.

While we don't grok the magnitude ot this ask, we also know the world isn't coming to an end if it's not done tomorrow.  Call it quits and chill, and return to it in the morning, please!

Thank you so much!  We will be looking it over for the next few days and will give you feedback.

Hi Adam,

Good morning, I was going to respond last night but wanted to try and suss things out on my end first but then it got late, and here we are.

So I'm confused by what you mean by . . .  'except two of the migration cards report as not completed even though the migration history shows they were both successfully migrated. (it's more a visual issue than a functional one).' .

Reason is I poked around and couldn't find what you're speaking of.

The other thing; you mentioned . . .  'Obviously you need to redo it on the live site and once you have updated everything the way you need to, you can resync the orders, customers, users using the migration tool again to make sure all the data has been successfully migrated.'

Does this mean once we take the site live we need to run the migration tool again? I was hoping to remove the HIkaShop altogether before migrating. Or have I misunderstood?

Switching subjects; if you add a product to the cart and go to check out, you'll see there's a check box they uncheck regarding insurance. Basically, customers may elect for us to ship without insurance (otherwise, the package gets insured). We want them to manually decide they don't want insurance and MOVE the monkey off our backs to theirs. This is important for us. Can we do this with your cart?

Hi Adam,

It's a curious thing leading us away from HikaShop to J2Commerce. It's entirely due to once we install HikaShop, TinyMCE stops working. HikaShop says install JCE and while it works, John detests JCE with a passion because he constantly has to jump out of the edit screen to scroll slightly to see controls (like for italicizing text). This, on the 1920x1080 screen he uses (he doesn't have to do this with TinyMCE and he literally whinges constantly about it breaking his flow whilst working).

Anyway, I have an installation of Joomla on another domain (one without HikaShop), and TinyMCE works perfectly so his question for me is; if we move to J2Commerce and delete HikaShop, will I have TinyMCE again? Or do we have to do a virgin install? Since I didn't know the answer to his first question, I backed up dev2 we're using to test J2Commerce and removed HikaShop, and unfrotunately, TinyMCE still doesn't work

So because deleting HikaShop on the dev site with J2Commerce didn't help, then it looks like creating a fresh install of Joomla plus J2Commerce is the path forward. But then this opens another can of worms . . . maybe.

This is because the sales, products, and customer data we have within HikaShop are via three .CSV files from our active site (a 3rd party hosted site called Americommerce). So my question for you this; can we bring this CSV data into J2Comerce without the intermediate step of first bringing it into HikaShop, which seems to irrevocably break TinyMCE?

Anyway, I don't want to just attach these CSV files to an open ticket (where presumably anybody could see things we don't want made public). How can we proceed? Can you help, or guide us, please? Or, because it's beyond our ken, could you look and see what's actually breaking TinyMCE, please?
