The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

We desperately needed a serious web CMS such as Joomla to move our Wordpress site to. How on earth could we do so (with 1,000 images and over a hundred articles of rich content)?

CMigrator proved to be the solution. What impressed me so so much was not only the availability of such a product but also the PEOPLE behind the product. Having some technical issues (not being a technical whizz) I asked Compojoom if they could help and I said I was happy to pay for this. Daniel promptly suggested I call them in Germany via Skype which I did and about an hour later they had fixed the issue. I am not sure if it was of my doing or something within CMigrator that had caused the issue but either way they would not accept payment! How much does that tell you about the confidence you can have in this product and Compojoom - and Compojoom's OTHER products as well (by the way, I have CComment as well and this also imported over a thousand comments from WP without a hitch - remember, if you are going to import articles from WP or Drupal etc you will want to preserve your comments as well and this product does it for you).

I cannot recommend Compojoom highly enough and I have had experience with a very large number of Joomla extensions. Well done Compojoom and thank you.

I seldom write reviews but this one is worth highlighting. Filled with fear about migrating I clicked on the "Migrate" button. There was nothing to worry about even though we have a large website. All content (with intact links) was migrated without a hitch. I subsequently had some queries which I sen to the developer about doing subsequent migrate runs (the live site is still up and has constant changes so we wanted to be able to import that fresh content while we continued to do the conversion on localhost). He always responded very quickly and with the information needed. We had previously attempted to use jUpgrade but sadly it was a disaster for us. It is a little surprising that Joomla seem to be pushing it so hard when it seems clear that it is not quite ready for the task yet. Also, you do not retain your original ids in jUpgrade.

While SP Upgrade does not attempt to migrate extensions, I would prefer to do the extensions manually than use something with appears inherently unstable and does not maintain the integrity of your content ids.

So well done to the developer! A small price to pay Thank you.

I initially had problems installing this product - because of my own lack of expertise. Knowing my limitations I eventually asked the developer if they would do it for me for a fee. Well, they went ahead and did it anyway and then said it had taken less than an hour and did not propose to charge me. I can tell you, I was so impressed by both their timeliness, their generosity of spirit and their overall professionalism that I could not possibly let them do it for free so I made an appropriate donation.

I deal with people all over the world, most of whom treat you as a faceless entity which I guess is understandable. However, I can tell you that these guys (Shawn and Helix) have REAL HEART. They are incredibly decent and professional and from what I can see and from what I have read have developed a superb product that everyone should use if they want proper protection.

I cannot be more enthusiastic about OSE. To buy their products is to buy CONFIDENCE and VALUE well in excess of the dollar price.
