Support for SermonSpeaker 5.x is in bugfix mode only, the same as it is for Joomla 3.10.
I will not add any new features to this releases.
Please upgrade to SermonSpeaker 6.x and Joomla 4.x, which is better anyway.
Data export and import for testing new version sermonspeaker beta 6
i have a Joomla 3 installation with an extensive Sermonspeaker database in operation. Now I would like to test the new Joomla 4 with Sermon Speaker Version 6. Joomla Beta 8 with the Sermonspeaker Version 6.0.0 Beta is already running. Can I transfer the data records from the old version of Sermon Speaker to the new one? So export and import? if so, how?
You would have to export/import directly the database tables (the ones starting with #__sermon, where #__ is the Joomla database prefix) using phpMyAdmin or similar.
The categories the most likely don't match and would have to be assigned fresh.
A better approach is to use a backup of the site and upgrade that one to Joomla 4. Then you've got all tables correctly as well.
