The ConversionĪfter you adjust the script to your settings, you can run index.php.

Here you can, as mentioned above, add a WHERE statement to limit the selecting articles. $query = 'SELECT * FROM `'.$SQL.'content` ORDER BY `created`' In index.php at line #46, you can find the responsible query to read the articles:

If you have many categories in Joomla you can limit the using query in index.php to select just certain articles of a specific category, and then you can run the script once for each category. The converter finds all the Joomla Article belonging to this category. For example user ID 1 (usually admin) and a category called “Import” with the ID 5. Now create a category and a user and put in their ID`s in the config.php of the converter. Ideally, without any content so there won’t be any conflict. So first create a blank WordPress installation. It is important that POST_AUTHOR and POST_CATEGORY ID`s in WordPress exist. The possibilities for adaptation are indicated by the comments. $DEFAULTS = 5 // I suggest to create a category named e.g. $DEFAULTS = 1 // User ID of target Author (1 usualy admin) $SQL = 'wp_' // Table Prefix of WordPress Tables $SQL = 'solariz_wp' // Database name of WordPress $SQL = 'jos_' // Table Prefix of Joomla Tables $SQL = 'solariz_de' // Database name of Joomla * Configuration for your Database and stuff
