- This extension requires registration to download.
In the old Joomla! 1.5 when you wanted to transfer database items to a different Joomla, just an export/import of the required database tables would do the job. With the new Joomla! 1.6, 1.7 and above, this is no longer possible.
This tool is doing just exactly that.

Due to need of upgrades for several sites based on Joomla, have to move data from - to. From 1.7 to 2.5 used some other apps, but I have sites yet on 1.5, so, direct transfering isn't possible (at least I do not know the way). Found this app and decided to buy it.
Have to say:
1. installation was easy and fats, no problems
2. interface is quite clean and simple as well
3. I am not a pro in data bases, just use them w/o any programming skills, so, there was some obstacles - I couldn't connect from-to and did not get transfers.
Just asked in e-mail - assistance is excellent, author replied quickly, with detailed advices.
Finally, I got to real transfer - it was quick and correct.
May be people before buyng this app should know, that if they plan to transfer data from free hostings, that can be not possible, a susually such hosts might not provide port opening for remote access to data base.
You have to have remote access to source data base - only then you will get data out.
In other words - tool from the range "admin must have".
Recommend, it is worth the price.

I am cloning my site in preparation for upgrading to 2.5. I wanted an easy way to extract the content and boy did I find it. With SP_Transfer I was able to clone content and users to a test site in less than 10 minutes after downloading the component. Install is a snap, launch the component, set the source database, select the items to move, and click OK. One of the nice feature is that there's a lot of granularity in what to transfer. An extra benefit is that it automatically detects ID or alias duplicates and you can configure whether to not transfer those items or create a new ID/alias for them.
