Hello,

I've just known K2 ! and it's really wonderful..
So I would like to know if it's possible to import my existing wordpress blog in my new joomla website with K2 ?
I searched for a long time but there is nothing to read....

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance

Thanks,

So I'm going to work on it too....just in case,
;-)

I am in the same situation as you - moving from WordPress to Joomla on one site as WordPress became too difficult to adapt to the kind of site I want.

I did not have too much posted yet, so I am doing the transfer one story at the time. But I think that eventually, it would be good to get a migration script where you just point K2 to the database of WordPress and it imports everything.

As for the final release, it would be nice to get a little bit of information on what is going on :-)

Hello,

Yes, so I didn't understand why that was not a priority...Wordpress is the first blogging plateform and I tried many solutions to migrate to joomla....(CorePHP for exemple).

In my opinion, the best way to import the Wordpress Blog is to use the .xml file generated by Wordpress itself in the ACP settings, export..

I really would like to migrate to K2 but without this feature it's impossible at this time...unfortunately.

Hello,

I've just found this script "WP2JOOMLA:

www.phpcoder.org/index.php/2009/03/wordpress-to-joomla-converter-update/

it's seems to be the best way to import a wordpress blog into Joomla (with Joomla Comment plugin)...
I tried to use it but there are a lot of issues on Wordpress 2.8 and it depends on your MySql Server (in ma case, MySql 5.0.77)...

If anybody could work on it and help us will be a really great idea....

please free download links :D

hi all,

i created a basic component to migrate wordpress posts, categories, tags and comments to K2. it is very basic component. feel free to test it. but i must remind you that this is a very basic component that i use for my site.

 

what this component can do:

1. migrate wp posts to K2

2. migrate wp comments to K2

3. migrate wp categories to K2

4. migrate wp tags to K2

5. convert wp read more tag to K2 tag

6. convert wp double line breaks to paragraph tag

7. split introtext and fulltext

8. maintain tags relationships with posts

 

what this component cannot do:

1. copy images

2. migrate users

 

other cons:

1. wp table name hardcoded in the component

2. post item params hardcoded in component

3. category params hardcoded in component

4. this is not installable component

5. if your wp post have more than 1 category, only the first one will be use in K2

6. you can only migrate it to empty K2 component, because this component will be using the original IDs from wp to maintain the relationships

 

how to use it:

1. unzip the component to your /administrator/components/com_wp2k2

2. export your wp tables, then import it in database that have K2 installed

3. change the wp table name in controller.php

4. from your joomla backend, run yourdomain.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_wp2k2

 

note:

i use this component for my site, and it seems working just fine. no support will be given since i'm quite busy with other jobs. if u think u can make it better and make money from it, feel free to do so. just drop an email to me and let me test it for free :P

Brilliant! Just tried it with Joomla 1.5.22. K2 items are there with tags and categories.
