Joomla 1.5

Hey gang, I am also looking into this module for Joomla 1.5

I've tried this on Joomla 1.5 and it seems to import the users OK. Ive not tested it for content though.

I've successfully imported categories, users and content from joomla 1.5 using this module today. File transfers simply did not work - that may reflect an inconsistency on the part of users in uploading images via Joomla. Section/category transfers were successful but will need a little cleanup with taxonomy manager.

I am sure bugs will crop up and I will follow-up on this thread once I have a better picture of Joomla 1.5 compatability.

I will try this module with J! 1.5 soon...would save me a lot of work. I'll report back!

Thanks for all your reports on Joomla 1.5.x. I haven't had an opportunity to test j1.5 imports yet, but I believe the database structure isn't significantly different between 1.0.x and 1.5.x, so there may well not be any problems.

If I get enough positive reports with j1.5.x I will list it as supported. If you have any problems with j1.5.x, please add a feature request to the issue queue.

Hey folks,

So one final issue with the migration I did from Joomla 1.5 - we lost users fullnames. The module properly created a profile field for realnames, but didn't import any data into it. Here's a paste of the query I used to resolve this. Note that this query assumes the joomla and drupal databases are on the same server...

UPDATE drupal_db.profile_values dp SET dp.value = (SELECT ju.name FROM joomla_db.users ju JOIN drupal_db.joomla_users dj ON dj.juid = ju.id WHERE dj.uid = dp.uid) WHERE fid=1

And I have gotten quite creative finding ways to automate fixing broken links in node content, etc... I am wondering if anyone else working with this module is interested in working on a toolkit for contribution?

Thanks Syfn,

This looks like a bug. The module is looking for {joomla_prefix}users.realname, which should be {joomla_prefix}users.name in both Joomla 1.0.x and 1.5.x.

Attached is a patch against 6.x-1.0-alpha3. This patch has been applied in CVS, and will be present in the next release.

Import from J!1.5 worked as expected with alpha3. Great job!
