Hello everybody,

Is it possible to move section, category and content items from one site to another including the relevant parameters ?

The situations is that I have a site of which most of the content is needed on a new site, but not all.
Normally I would try copying the whole site and then delete the unwanted content, but there are some problems on the old site and I would like to start fresh, with no old problems.

Is there anyone who has suggestions on how to do this as easy as possible ?

Thanks in advance and greeting from Holland,
Nico

Hi,

This should be possible. Although only copying part of the content does make it a bit more complex. The way I would try this is just export the sections, categories and content from the current database. Then edit the exported files, remove any unwanted content. Once this is done you could import your data into the new database.

Another way would be to create an export query which limits the specific content to be exported.

There is no other easy way of doing it I guess.

Well, I'll give it a try this way.

Maybe someone will create an automated solution in the future....

Thanks for the tips, I'll consider it solved for now.

Nico

:D

Hi,

If you use the rating feature on content, do not forget the jos_content_rating table.

Yep, they look okay to me. Not sure if you need the jos_modules_menu though.

Com Export Content http://forge.joomla.org/sf/projects/com_export_content can get all the content from one site and export it to another allowing you to insert by:

+ Sections and the categories contained in it and all content items in the categories.
+Categories and all content items in the categories.
+Content item(s).
+Static items(s).

You can also edit or create new items before inserting into the destination site.  :)

I know this is an old thread, but I am looking at the sames stuff here...

Basically I want to move the content, ie. articles, graphics and menus.

As far as I can tell the export_content does a really good job with articles, sections and categories.

However - as far as I can tell - it does not handle menus. Not sure about graphics either...

Any tips on how to get the menus across too?

Or is it easier to just re-create them?

Guess the graphics is just a questions of transferring the images directory from one server to the other....

Thanks!

After some more investigation it looks as if JoomlaPack Plus gets pretty close...

I do a database only export and exclude all tables apart from:

jos_categories
jos_content
jos_content_frontpage
jos_menu
jos_menu_types
jos_modules
jos_modules_menu
jos_sections
jos_templates_menu

And in the extensions section I excluded all modules apart from my Top Menu and the Admin Backend stuff...

This gives you an .sql file, which you can import as a Migration file when you install Joomla.

Beware that it appears as if the import does not work correctly if your table prefix in the new database is not the same as it was in the database you exported from...

Have fun...

Anders

andersvinther,

This was very helpful thanks. A little work with phpmyadmin and I was able to drop and import the correct tables.

Thanks
