Hi there!
Any help with this situation is most welcome. I have done extensive searches all over the net, including this forum, but haven't yet found a solution.
Goal:
To have Fabrik working after Joomla upgrade from 2.5.24 to Joomla 3.3
Background:
I have a working Fabrik 3.2 install on J2.5.24. There are lists, forms, groups and several elements, all fully working in the front-end and visible in the back-end.
What I did #1: (All the steps below are done on a local MAMP install, with a local backup from a running internet website)
Questions:
Is it reasonable to assume that the upgrade caused the lists ID-numbers to change so that Fabrik doesn't see them? If so, how do I re-connect the lists/tables? Are there any other possible solutions to this problem?
Best Regards,
Marcus W

What I did #1: (All the steps below are done on a local MAMP install, with a local backup from a running internet website)
- Prior to upgrading to Joomla 3.3, I uninstalled all 3rd party plugins, components and modules, including Fabrik 3.2 (Otherwise I got the white screen .initialise error leaving Fabrik 3.2 in place).
- I cleared cache, purged cache and disabled the cache plugin.
- I successfully upgraded Joomla to v3.3 through the built-in Joomla update function.
- Installed Fabrik 3.2, success.
- In the Fabrik admin area, clicked "Lists", empty, no lists. Same for all the other sections (forms, groups and so on).
- The connection to the site database is working. Using "Test connection" confirms this.
- Updated from Github, using instructions from the wiki.
- Refreshed cache in Extension Manager > Manage > select all Fabrik > Refresh cache. New Fabrik version number is 3.1.1.
- The lists, forms etc sections are still empty.
- The front-end says error 500, incorrect list id (obvious since there are no lists).
- Started all over again, restored the original J2.5.24 site from an Akeeba kickstart backup. Did all the steps above prior to upgrading.
- This time I upgraded to Joomla 3.2.4 an reinstalled Fabrik 3.2.
- Still no change, no lists, forms etc. Connection to site database OK.
- Tried the Github update, still no go.
Questions:
