Possible to import prefix and suffix from another installation?
January 16, 2009, 02:10:57 pm
I am transitioning from a local install to a server install of civicrm 2.1.4 with Joomla 1.5.9

I have approximately 50 custom prefixes and also some custom suffixes that I would like to import directly somehow (annoying to do it manually). Without these prefixes a lot of the data from the current database (custom made) will have import errors, so its important. Also I have custom data groups and fields, and would like to import them as well.

Is there some easy way to do this?

your best bet would be to copy the option values related to individual_prefix/suffix over to the server install. the sql to get the values:

Code: [Select]
select v.* from civicrm_option_value v, civicrm_option_group g where g.id = v.option_group_id and g.name = 'individual_prefix';
