Migrating J10 J15

Migration of Joomla! 1.0.x sites Matt Meyrick St Joseph’s College http://www.stjos.co.uk/ Local Independent School

Introduction • Why • Precautions • Migration Tools • Methods – Must do – Nice to do • Gotchas • Conclusion

Why • Did Joomla! change? – To future proof Joomla • Changes to Database • Why should I? – You don’t have to but.... • Support ending • Future improvements • Security

Precautions • Backup • This means everything! – Files – Data

Migration Tools • Migrator from 1.0 to 1.5 – The “official” option – Exports from 1.0 • mtwMigrator – An alternative solution – Imports to 1.5

Preparation • Ideal: – New Installation • Separate install • Separate database – Less Ideal: • Separate install (sub directory?) • Same database (prefix issues)

Method Migrator from 1.0 to 1.5 • Install component in 1.0 • Install any 3rd party addons • Run the export • Install Joomla! 1.5 – As part of the installation you are given the option to use the data exported above • Done! (well maybe)

Load Migration Script

Method mtwMigrator • Install a clean version of Joomla! 1.5 • Install mtwMigrator • Configure migrator (old database) • Run migrator • Done! (well maybe)

Gotchas • {mosimage} • Modules/Menus • Components – Install, migrate data • Memory/Execution Time (php) • Files (images etc)

Templates • Most templates will work in legacy mode • New template? • Template conversion – Compare templates • Modules – <?php mosLoadModules ( ‘right', -1 ); ?> becomes – <jdoc:include type="modules" name="right" style=“raw" / > • Content – <?php mosMainBody(); ?> becomes – <jdoc:include type="component" />

Conclusion • It isn’t too difficult • Community Help – Joomla! Forum • Questions?
