4. Migrating Joomla! 1.0 to 1.5 4 Overview The Journey of 1.0 to 1.5 Generate a SQL dump out of 1.0 Do a base 1.5 install At the migration step either upload via FTP or HTTP Run the migration wizard and finish installation.

5. Migrating Joomla! 1.0 to 1.5 5 Installing the Migrator Getting the installation package http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/pasamioprojects/frs Download available on the web

6. Migrating Joomla! 1.0 to 1.5 6 Installing the Migrator Install into Joomla! 1.0

7. Migrating Joomla! 1.0 to 1.5 7 Doing your migration! The Migrator welcome screen explains all of the steps, normally all you need to do is click “Create Migration SQL File”

8. Migrating Joomla! 1.0 to 1.5 8 Doing your migration A few screens will flash past as the migrator works and it will be completed: Note the SQL download file name before you click “Download”, in this case it was: 'moffats_joomla_1013_20070727_102337.sql'

9. Migrating Joomla! 1.0 to 1.5 9 Download the SQL Dump The download page lists all available dump files, click “Download” to retrieve the dump file from your website.

10. Migrating Joomla! 1.0 to 1.5 10 Joomla! 1.5 Install Now that we have the dump of our old site, we start creating a new 1.5 install.

11. Migrating Joomla! 1.0 to 1.5 11 Upload Options If you are migrating a small site (generated SQL file smaller than 2MB) you can use the HTTP upload facility on the migration form If you are migrating a site larger than this, you will need to upload your SQL into the “/installation/sql/migration/” folder on the server and call it “migrate.sql” Both methods require reuploading the document again if the migration process fails or is interrupted.

12. Migrating Joomla! 1.0 to 1.5 12 Migration You can start migration. Please note the RC1 build has an error that will say that migration failed, you can safely ignore this (and it will be fixed in the final release!) When prompted click next and enter your site name, and click next to finish installation.

13. Migrating Joomla! 1.0 to 1.5 13 Migration Enter site name, migration complete!

14. Migrating Joomla! 1.0 to 1.5 14 Migration Complete Your Joomla! site should continue as normal, delete the 'installation' folder and view your new site. Keep in mind: –A new main menu module is created automatically and published –All other modules are migrated as unpublished –You will have to install the 3PD modules from your old site, either the 1.0 versions using the legacy plugin or 1.5 versions that have been updated. –Some menu URL's might not work

15. Migrating Joomla! 1.0 to 1.5 15 For 3PD Developers The migrator allows for plugins installable in the 1.0 site for third party extensions There is no way to perform actions as a part of the 1.5 installation process, only SQL can be used.

16. Migrating Joomla! 1.0 to 1.5 16 Developing ETL Plugins Two types of plugins: ETL and SQL. An ETL plugin allows you to transform and export your actual data from Joomla! A SQL plugin prepends SQL files to your data dump before the ETL plugins start Very easy to write, very quick to develop: –ETL Plugin just needs to be named to the table name and extend the ETLPlugin class. –SQL plugin is a plain SQL file

17. Migrating Joomla! 1.0 to 1.5 17 A Simple ETL Plugin Example <?php class TableName_ETL extends ETLPlugin { function getName() { return “Descriptive name”; } function getAssociatedTable() { return “tablename”; } }

18. Migrating Joomla! 1.0 to 1.5 18 ETL Plugins An ETL Plugin can be more complicated to allow for: – renaming fields, –altering field values – and writing custom transformation steps (e.g. moving settings in configuration files into a database)
