Hi All,

Has anyone got a good solution for Migrating Items from 1.5 to 1.7?
Maybe also the categories as well?

I have almost 2000 items and want to try and salvage them in a move if possible, cannot really manually do it.

Looked on the ext directory and have not had no luck as of yet, any opinion or advice would be appreciated

Paul

Just an update,

I found this old post about it, I tried Jupgrade and cannot get it to fully work just starts to work and does nothing. Seems from what i am reading it does not work for all.

Anyone got any advice or opinions?

There must be so many of us using k2 on 1.5, who want to make the move if not now but in the next 6 months.
Surely there must be some direction on this?

Hi Paul,

Did you follow the guide exactly ? Have you looked at the guide here

I'm still using Joomla 1.5 on some of my large sites, those smaller sites was upgraded using the advanced "ctrl + c" and "ctrl + v" method :D

lol yes followed to the dot, the install 1.7 just sticks on that point, the loader bar does nothing but looks like it is installing. Checked online and this is a common error amongst some.

Tried creating a jupgrade folder on the server first, adding a zipped joomla install in the root, still the same sticking point

Would love to do the ol classic paste method, but had 2000 items doh!

So the options for J1.7.3 import of J1.5.25 K2 tables:

• Kannan's 'advanced technique'
• freakedout's Content Uploader @ €70 (not)

Does J2XML support K2 item import?

Am I missing a trick?

Thanks

Sometimes mootools needs to be disabled before running jupgrade.
After the upgrade sometimes you need to use phpmyadmin to set the access level on all the k2 items and categories to get them to show

The new version of jUpgrade v1.2.4 is out. Read here . Supports Akeeba Backup now :D

According to them, you must enable 'System - Mootools Upgrade' plugin that is included in Joomla 1.5.19 and greater. You can check out the FAQ

Hi, Steve, Kannan's 'advanced technique'
Not seen this one, have you got a link? will search now

freakedout's Content Uploader @ €70 (not)
Not for 1.7 as says on the site, yes too expensive really

Does J2XML support K2 item import?
This seems to work well for articles 1.5 - 1.7 i tested it, not K2 as of the moment

William, I will try with it turned off, but in the instructions it says turn it on.

After all the previous talk about whether k2 was going forward a while on a personal thought,
If I was Joomlaworks, I would have created a couple of unique modules or plugins that the k2 community would like to see including a tool for this migration with the new 1.7 k2 release. They would then be the first to do it as i am sure there are others trying. For these extensions I would be happy to pay a small fee for as they are coming from the developers and im sure many more would, thus putting some coinage back into JW;s pocket for the excellent free k2 and in turn push k2 even further as development money would come in and more people would start on 1.7 with it.
Just my pennies worth and a thought...but who am i ;-)

Thanks Kannan, i got it exactly backwards....its been several weeks since i did it. It just sat there, then when motools sys upgrade was enabled all went well. There were still some issues about the permissions when i last tried it
