I need for one my client move the site made in Joomla 1.5 in Exponential.
Is there any way to import content from current site to new in Exponential?
My future client gives me access to current site FTP and database.

I knew the basics of Exponential. I made some instalation and some sites based on Exponential (some are online, some not).

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

There is not a specific import tool or extension... but perhaps a option would be to create in joomla a feed or feeds for the content and import them to Exponential with "RSS import"... But it really depends of the content of the joomla site...

There is the data_import and xmlimport extensions, the first one is recommended though, far more powerful and flexible. I think you find them on projects.ez.no.

Hello Alejandro,

Sorry seems the tar/gz download has been removed.

Since the files are still available from svn,

I suggest getting a copy from svn,

http://svn.projects.ez.no/bcimportcsv/trunk/extension/bcimportcsv/

Cheers,

Heath

Hi guys!

I was trying to use this extension but I'm not sure of how I have to use it.

I have put it in the extension directory and I have activated but I don't know how to follow using it. I have seen there are 3 php scripts that I can run out of Exponential. should I do that?

Thanks.

Hello Alejandro,

The extension is little more than a modified version of the default import script in Exponential.

The script provided article import from a csv export of Joomla article content (including images).

It was used only a few times for one customer. You may need to modify it to suite your own needs.

Best wishes,

Cheers,

Heath

Hello Heath,

I forgot to answer and I left this subject. Now I have to start again with this problem.

In the extesion package there is a script called bcsqlexportjoomlacontenttable.php. This script allows me to import the data from Joomla to a CSV file with the fields of the database. Once I have this CSV of my Joomla database , what I have to do?

I haven seen there is another script bccsvjoomlacontenttablehtmlimport.php which import the data from the CSV to Exponential. The code seems to be executed by Exponential. I don't know what I have to do in the administrator of Exponential to use the extension. You have told me that this is a version of the default import script of Exponential but I couldn't find information about how to use de default import script

can yo help me?

thanks :)

Alejandro
