Hi Guys
I am building a new joomla site so I can scrap my old one which has a few issues.
Both the old and new site are 2.5.4
What I need to do is get my top menu from the old site across into the new site.
This menu has about 320 items in it so I don't want to have to re make the whole thing from scratch so I was hoping to be able to export it from my old data base and import it into the new one.
Could someone please explain what I need to do.
Thanks
Lance

Unclear as to the code you would require to use but it could probably be done with PHPMyAdmin and MySQL directly.
Immediate issues I could foresee though are the ItemID's not matching across the two databases so it would probably also involve some manual manipulation of the MySQL code from the original before it is imported into the newer.

Hi Humvee
I was going to try PHPMyAdmin and MySQL but I do not know what tables to export.
Each menu item is an external link so I cannot think of any issues that may be caused by the ID at this stage.
If I can find out what tables I need to export that would be a great start
Thanks
Lance

Code:
prefix_menu and
prefix_menu_module
prefix_menu_type
prefix_modules (for any separate modules created to hold the menu)


are probably good places to start

you mention links to o/s sites what about
Code:
weblinks
?

Just take a look for tables in PHPMyAdmin that relate to the content you want to copy.

Thanks Guys
I have a shopping cart integrated into my Joomla and I used the external links option to link the top menu items to the cart.
The menu links don't actually leave my site to other go to other sites.
I will have a look at these options plus Webdongles suggestion with that extension.
Thanks heaps guys
Lance
