Error on homepage

A couple days ago I got this error  Fatal error: Call to undefined method BxDolMemberInfo::isAvatarSearchAllowed() in /home/qantroco/public_html/inc/classes/BxDolProfileFields.php on line 1183.  I am using Dolphin 7.1 beta and I haven't upgrade pending Dolphin final release of all upgrades. Do I have to upgrade to 7.1.2 and will I get another error like this http://www.boonex.com/forums/topic/error-when-trying-to-upgrade.htm.

 lol, there never will be a "final" release.. we are almost to 7.1.3 and still bugged.

It's never recommended to use a beta version on a production site.  For this exact reason, actually...

If the site is small/new, I'd recommend reinstalling with a stable version.

I installed the 7.1.2 and what I need to know know is it possible to transfer the database from 7.1 to this new one?

Hi,

I have installed a new 7.1.2 version instead of the old 7.1 beta, however I want to transfer the members from the other database. I understand that this could be done by transferring the profile and avatar tables. The problem I am facing is; How this is accomplished since the PHPMyAdmin panel has various options to select from; bx_profile_custom_images, bx_profile_custom_main, bx_profile_custom_themes and bx_profile_custom_units.

 You will have to do each entry separate.

But don't forget, all media, photos, avatars, sounds, and video are stored in the

e.g.   /boonex/(module folder)/files/data you will have to back all this data too if you just do the tables, your screwed.

So, How can I restore the members files, I had over 15,000.

 did you backup each data directory and the Profiles database along with each entry needed?

your restore is not going to be easy no matter.

We have always suggested cloning your production site, doing an upgrade, if it works the apply to actual live site.

Profiles themselves shouldn't be (too) hard.  Limited account import (bare essentials) would be exporting the Profiles table (keep in mind of non-default fields) and importing into the new database.  The real hassle comes from any content associated with a profile (e.g., avatars).  You would need to export the related tables, and make sure the actual content is uploaded to the correct directories for the new site.

newton27 is correct.  Never use a beta for a production site, and always test upgrades on a cloned site (or at least make backups).

How true!!. Now I am paying the consequences. Can I use the data from an database export and splice the profiles posting and  Avatars into the new database?

 You could, try on a clone site first.

what your wanting to do will not provide the best results.
