dnrestcom - The simplest way to learn!

First of all, if you are still using Joomla 1.0 and you are planning to move to Joomla 1.5 perhaps this article can save your life. I have done this before, since I didn't found any components that is suitable for me to transfer the articles and the users from J1.0 into J1.5. I did with some of the migration components which compatible with J.10 but all nothing. But you can give a try to the following component,

• Export Content

From my point of view that component is pretty good actually if you have a small of articles with you, but if you have thousands of articles I am not sure it will succeed. Without any further delay, I'll explain step-by-step guide to export your articles and users from J.10 into J.15.

Export Users:

STEP 1

Joomla 1.5 side:

• Do your BACKUP!, for files you can use akeeba backup or just simply go to your host server and select all then put it into zip file then download it to your local computer. For database you also can use akeeba backup or you can go to phpmyadmin --> select your database name --> on the top toolbar select "export" --> checked "Save as file" --> give a name as you want --> click "Go" button.

Joomla 1.0 side:

• For files you can go to your host server and select all then put it into zip file then download it to your local computer. For database you can go to phpmyadmin --> select your database name --> on the top toolbar select "export" --> checked "Save as file" --> give a name as you want --> click "Go" button.

STEP 2

Joomla 1.0 side:

• Go to phpmyadmin then on the top toolbar click export then on the table list select the following tables,

• Checked "Save as file", give a name to that then click "Go".
• Open your SQL file which you just downloaded, then open it using your web editor (Dreamweaver, Coda, etc).
• Change the following details to make compatible with Joomla 1.5,

-  (Primary Key) "aro_id" to "id" **note: without quote. (to make it more easier, do a search method (ctrl+F or command+F), put the keyword then your replace keyword. But don't click replace ALL yet.)

-  You should replace all EXCEPT "jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map".

• Again change the following details to make it compatible with Joomla 1.5,

-  (Primary Key) group_id to id **note: without quote. (to make it more easier, do a search method (ctrl+F or command+F), put the keyword then your replace keyword. But don't click replace ALL yet.)

- You should replace replace all EXCEPT "jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map"

Joomla 1.5 side:

• Go to phpmyadmin then delete the following tables,

Now you are done!. Check your users through your back-end page. If you have any problem feel free to comment.
