Migrate from Joomla 2.5 to 3.3 Import/Export

Dear Dmitry, Hi all,

I want to transfer all data from a Joomla 2.5 Installation to a Joomla 3.3 installation. The installations are on different domains. What is the best way of doing this? Can I just Export and then import all tables from on database to another with changing the database prefix? Or is there more to do?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks Alexander

Hi.

You can just upgrade your site to j3, and after that just install my extensions over exists (ie for j3). And all will be fine.

If you want export-import only data - you can do:
1 - install last version for j2.5 site, and last version for j3 site
2 - export data, import data
3 - manual fix categories (references on each entity)

Dear Dmitry,

Thank you for your quick and helpful answer.

I just had to export the "old" table data from Joomla 2.5 and then insert the file into the 3.x table. Just make sure to update the table_prefix!

As I did not had any categories this came not into play.

I had a strange behaviour when I wanted to use Modules Anywhere to show the map. Then all where messed up and no map to show any more. Strange, then I used the ZH GoogleMap Module to display. Can anybody confirm this? Or did I oversaw a setting?

thanks Alexander

Hi.
Yes. More over if your tables in one database, you can easy do it: insert ... select
statement

As for Anywhere:
- this extension do it's work by onload function. I use this function too (by default).
- if other extension use this function, it can override it and map is not displayed.
- to fix it - just change default map initialization type.

Go to component options and set Map Initialization Type to 'domready' instead 'onload'.
After that all should by OK

Dear Dmitry,

This made no change at all! I have the newest Module Annywhere Free and ZH GoogleMap Version 6.0.5.5 installed.

Any more idea?

thanks Alexander

I can't suggest then without link to page with map
