i updated a magento store from 1.6 to 1.9. I got some problems with the one page checkout. At first i cant order anything. I resolved this with adding the formkey. The 2nd problem is that this:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('checkout_progress_wrapper');?>

does not show anything. I am using my own theme and checkt out the old xml with the new one but there seem to be no changes. The div isn't even parsed empty it's juzst not shown. Hope someone can help me.

  • how you upgrade your magento ? – urfusion Oct 06 '15 at 06:22
  • i downloaded the 1.9 version from the site and copied the files over my old ones. Therefore i took a backup. AFter this i updated the extensions over magento connect. –  Oct 06 '15 at 06:23
  • try with default magento theme. – urfusion Oct 06 '15 at 06:29
  • I am simply new with magento... where can i change the theme ? –  Oct 06 '15 at 06:33
  • navigate to `system ->configuration ` in admin then click on `design` menu from left menu. and change `Current Package Name` to `base` – urfusion Oct 06 '15 at 06:37
  • Thx, the steps are shown now but i cant use the base theme it has to work with my own theme. The site looks like total crap now. –  Oct 06 '15 at 06:40
  • is your current theme is a paid theme? – urfusion Oct 06 '15 at 06:43
  • I don't know if it's a paied theme. Guess it's not –  Oct 06 '15 at 06:46
  • ok, then do one thing. take backup of your `checkout` and replace that by default theme `checkout` folder. here you can find default checkout folder `app\design\frontend\base\default\template` – urfusion Oct 06 '15 at 06:48
  • this is going to crash my onepage checkout. The style is horrible and after step 3 it doesnt work anymore. –  Oct 06 '15 at 06:54
  • you have to restyle your theme according to magento 1.9. there is no other option beside that. – urfusion Oct 06 '15 at 06:56
  • you might be face issue in admin too. – urfusion Oct 06 '15 at 06:57
  • The style is correct in my own theme. It would be really nice if this theme would work. I guess using the base theme and restyle it isn't my job. –  Oct 06 '15 at 07:00
  • current theme is according to magento 1.6 and you updated that to 1.9 so you have to make that theme according to 1.9 if you want it to work fine. – urfusion Oct 06 '15 at 07:02
  • Okay so i will give it a try. Thx for your help. :) –  Oct 06 '15 at 07:16
  • In a different way.. it was a xml problem nothhing about the design. Now the 4 progress divs are shown but the paymnet method div is totally empty. The 3 other divs are shown correctly. –  Oct 08 '15 at 11:29

Here are some step for upgrading magento

  1. Take a backup of current database and current 1.6 code. place maintenance.flag file inside 1.6 code folder to put website offline.
  2. Download latest magento from the http://www.magentocommerce.com/download
  3. Remove all folders and files from your 1.6 code except maintenance.flag (but you should have backup somewhere) and place all folders and files from the 1.9.x
  4. Now from your 1.6 merge your following custom folders into the 1.9.x
    • Community app/code/community
    • Local app/code/local
    • Media
    • your theme or package (app/design/frontend/default/<your theme> or app/design/frontend/<your package>)
    • custom folders from Skin (both for adminhtml and frontend).
    • copy your custom xml files from app/etc/modules/ to current app/etc/modules/
    • any custom admin theme folder from adminhtml/default/yourtheme.
    • copy your custom folders from adminhtml/default/default/ (1.6) to adminhtml/default/default/ (1.9.x).
    • custom js files if any from app/js/.
  5. Now go to app/etc/local.xml.Edit database details their.put your database username and password and database name.
  6. Remove maintenance.flag file and check the site in the browser. it is done.
