Migrate your old sites from Joomla version 1.5 to 1.7 (or 1.6) and keep your Google Rank safe.
Note: Anything below is mentioned for version 1.7 goes the same for 1.6. The component is able to migrate to both 1.6, or 1.7.
Now upgrade to Joomla v1.7 is easy and safe. The component read directly from your old 1.5 db and save to the new 1.7 db using core Joomla 1.7 functions. By utilizing the Joomla core functions the loaded items are build in the database, as if you create them manually, except we keep the ids. That means 100% compatibility, stability and utilization of the new Joomla features (expanded access control system and nested categories).
The component is able to load from your old 1.5 database to the new the following:
- Users
- Articles (along with their Sections and Categories)
- Contacts
- Web Links
- News Feeds
- Banners
- Images
- Menus
- Modules
- Some Templates (Only core templates files are migrated. Some templates comes with additional extensions e.g modules. Those are not migrated.)
This component does not migrate any non-core extensions.
