This module enables the import of the following content from a Joomla website into Drupal.

Users
Sections & Categories into Taxonomy Vocabularies and Terms
Content items to nodes

Only available in 7.x-2.x (currently under development):

JComments import

The module was developed against Joomla 1.0.x, however initial reports from the community indicate that the module also works with Joomla 1.5.x.

How to use

Configure the module via Administer >> Site Configuration >> Joomla to Drupal
and run the import from Administer >> Content Management >> Import from Joomla.

Requirements

You will need to be able to connect to the Joomla site database from your Drupal host. Both Joomla and Drupal database must share the same engine driver.(eg both mysql or postgresql).This is a Drupal limitation,unfortunately. The two sites do not need to be on the same host, however the copying of image files to the Drupal site will only work if the Joomla directory is accessible from the Drupal website. If this is not the case you may copy the Joomla image directory to the Drupal host.

Continuous migration

It is possible to run the imports automatically via cron. This will keep most changes in sync between the Joomla and Drupal site. Each time a content item is updated in Joomla, a new revision will be created for the relevant Drupal content item.

Disabling / uninstalling the module

Once you have completed your content import, it is not necessary to keep the Joomla to Drupal module enabled. However, you should be aware of the following:

Joomla and Drupal store user passwords differently. This module provides a mechanism to check the users Joomla password and convert it to the Drupal format on the first successful login for that user. If you disable the module, any users who have not logged in to the Drupal site will need to request a new password.
This module stores data mapping each user, taxonomy term and content item to it's Joomla equivalent. If you uninstall this module, all this data will be lost. If you then reinstall and configure the module a second time, it will re-import all the data it has already imported.

It is therefore recommended that you do not disable this module until you are sure that all your users have logged in and had their passwords converted, and that you do not uninstall the module until you are absolutely sure you will not need to run another import.
