Export Content Component

Export Content will move section(s), categories, content items and or static item(s) from Mambo to all versions of joomla or between Joomla sites and will allow you to move data from Joomla 1.0+ series to 1.5+ series or back without any programming knowledge.

It works by installing com_export_content on any sites you wish to move data between. It will then compile selected section(s), categories, content items and or static items into a component that may be installed via the site installer on any other site where com_export_content is set-up.

You will then have the option of transferring the imported data into the destination site database by the following methods:

+ Single or multiple section(s) and all the categories and content contained in them.

+Single or multiple categories and all the content contained in them.

+Single or multiple content items.

+Single or multiple archived items.

+Single or multiple static items.

You are also able to edit any imported content before transferring it into the destination site. This may be necessary if a section has the same name as one on the destination site or if you simply want to make any changes.

Now also able to move content from Mambo 4.5+ or 4.6+ over to any version of Joomla.

Seems to be able to extract the articles on my old site, but I'm not able to install it on 1.7.3. Hopefully someone will update it.
Owner's reply

The data will not install on Joomla 1.6+ or 1.7+ series because export content was only created for Joomla 1.0+ and 1.5+ series, as indicated both here on the extensions site and on the download page of the component??

Just saved me an easy days worth of work - and I did all the transfer in less than 30 seconds. Thank you so much for such a great little add-on.

Maybe 'menus' next? ;)

I like this extension. It saves me a lot of time. I have 2000 articles/content and were able to export import in a short time. If you have 200 articles per category - is it best to import 50 items/articles so you won't get error. I work my Joomla website on XAMPP server.

Too bad this isn't working on Joomla 1.5 without using legacy because otherwise it looks like a great component to have

I'm in the middle of exporting my articles due to the need for a restore of the site. I'd gladly pay for the product if it was Native 1.5 instead of having to active the legacy plug-in which is just annoying and proably also slows down your site.

The menues need some rework to make the product perfect.

This was the two main reasons why I only gave it the grading good and not excellent.

Wow! A BIG THANK YOU for this extension. It has saved hours, if not days of tedious work since I needed to move content from several sites to 1 main site. This component did the trick and quick time!

I did have to edit administrator\components\ com_export_content\ admin.export_content.html.php

I changed:
$now = new JDate();

to:
//$now = new JDate();

and it worked perfectly!!!

Once again, Thank you very much. It was very simple and easy to use! Cheers

I used this a few years ago & it worked great for me. Very simple to use. I used it again today and it worked as advertised. It does seem to have an issue with Article Aliases sometimes. The first time I used it, all my articles had the same alias, I just lived with it at the time and fixed them by hand if I happened to edit an article. Today, it did the same thing again, but after I deleted all the articles from the trash in my old site, I tried it again and it worked fine. All in all, it's a great tool.

Great component. Only problem I did have though was and error with JDate in joomla version 1.5.15.

Fatal error: Class 'JDate' not found in /home/nas04l/m/mph-uk.com/user/htdocs/ website/administrator/components/ com_export_content/ admin.export_content.html.php on line one thousand and something...

Hopefully this is fixed in a future release.. but easily fixed for now by commenting out all $now = new JDate(); in the above file.

We're in the process of merging multiple sites, rebuilding a few and in general re-organizing our business.

This component worked exactly as expected. Great work.

Wow what a cool component.

Took me a bit of playing about at first... tip to others having problems... read the 9 step instructions and don't try to figure it out yourself!


excellent component, saved me hours

It saved my life. This is the extension I wanted. It really works good without hassle. But still I found some bug. Later I found the solution at author's site. You need to comment out one line (#693). Why the author not fixing that file? It will be perfect with that fix. Also I like to see that it works as J!1.5 Native.
Just remeber, you need to install this component on both the source and the target site - and choose appropriate version - one for J!1.0.x and another for J!.1.5x. Many thanks to its author(s).

it literally saved my site a few times over

i give it 10/10 if not much higher

all you need to do is follow the directions and everything works well.

- on a side note that if you have a REALLY REALLY BIG SITE, then you should break each section of your content into small pieces instead of a 1 massive export. it will make your live a ton easier when you want to import the file back into joomla. it happened to me and was not fun to get everything working but the dev helped me get through it but it was not his mistake but mine.

support is one of the best i have gotten anywhere be that in joolma or elsewhere. the maker/dev helped me for several days/weeks to solve my issue and literally went above the "call of duty." as long as you are respectful to the maker/dev then he will most likely do everything in his power to help you solve issues.

Not much to say other than: it does what it claims to do, it is quite simple to use, it's free, has all the necessary options one might think of (maybe more).
Note: I used it on two sites (one in Greek the other in English -joomla 1.5.15) and it worked perfectly on both.
In one word: THANKS

It does what it promises to do. Easy to use, and really helped me to move contents to a new site.

Though I had no problem using this great component, I think it is better to uninstall the component right after the content is transferred. I suspect there could be some conflicts causing the menu parameters not working properly when this component is on.

I cannot see where other users would have had a problem with the component. It couldn't have been easier than click, click, click.

One note, I didn't see mentioned anywhere that you had to enable the legacy plug in in Joomla 1.5.x

Thanks for your efforts Stephen

I have installed and played with numerous extensions. This is the best one I have used yet. The online documentation was flawless, installation was flawless, migration of data flawless.
Wow! Thank you so much. This allowed me to take a fully functional demo template from JoomArt and load my data into the site. This will save me hours of configuring the template on my existing site. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
