Francesco Cozzolino	Tuesday 09 November 2010 8:19:13 am Hi, I tried to export a node with its tree (class "Gallery") from a 4.2 EZ installation, without problems. When I try to import it in a 4.3 installation (the "Gallery" class is the very same), i get an "Error usng URI:..." error. The content is imported but can't be installed. I need to import about 5-6 galleries (every one with 50 or more photos), and it will be great if I can avoid to publish them again. Any suggestion? Thanks!

Hello Francesco,

The package system work only with 4.3 -> 4.3 or 4.2 -> 4.2 it does not work 4.2 -> 4.3

It recommend only to export packages with the -same- version of eZ Publish.

Cheers,

Heath

Most of the problems with imprting packages from one version of eZ to another one can be fixed by:

- renaming the package to .tar.gz

- altering the xml files inside with a text editor

- rezipping and renaming

Of course the only though thing is to determine where exactly the problem lies. A couple of versions ago there was a change in (iirc) the allowed chars in package names: uppercase were produced at version X but only lowercase accepted at version X+1 (package name is part of the xml file inside the package itself)
