Joomla module features:

  • import Joomla Users, included "Realname". You MUST install Profiles module. Joomla module will create a new profile field called "profile_realname" and fill with Joomla Realname field
  • import Joomla Sections & categories
  • import Joomla Contents & Static-contents including images/pictures
  • duplicate items options: ignore or replace any duplicates item, useful to do re-import

Caution!

  1. Even I have try this module before publishing but please do backup your site first!
  2. Please try to install this module on local site before you install on production website!
  3. Drupal 5.x: use only Joomla 1.0.15 and Drupal 5.7 . You don't need to install Joomla, just copy the Joomla database
  4. Drupal 6.x: porting handle by malclocke
  5. User password will not imported! So, imported Users must click "Request new password"
  6. By default Joomla "/images" folder will be copy to "/files/images"

TIPS:
------

  1. How to import if Joomla installed on different Server?
    1. You must create a new database in Drupal server then copy Joomla tables to this new database
    2. Manually copy all files from Joomla "/images" folder to Drupal "/files/images"
    3. Run this module import functions
  2. How to import thousand contents?
    This module has been tested to import 5.000 users, 300 articles and 15 sections of Joomla website. You may need to increase PHP timeout in PHP.ini (default value is 30 second). Since this module has options to ignore any imported items, then it is save to run this module many times. After a PHP timeout occurs then re-run this module again and again until all items imported
