Hi,

we are considering to merge our separate blog site with our company site and integrate our blog directly. Is there a smart way to migrate all blog enties, comments, tags and so on?

Thanks in advance for your support.
Mark
Hello Mark,

To actually migrate these items, you'll want to export the items through "phpmyadmin" and re-import them on your current site because we don't really have a exporter tool for EasyBlog currently

Thanks Mark,

do you have a documentation or a link, on which data I have to export? I am not an expert when it comes to phpmyadmin.

Regards
Mark

Hello Mark,

Ideally, it's best that you create an export dump through phpmyadmin and export all the EasyBlog tables over. Here's the general guideline that you could use and it is also what we used previously when we migrated from current site to another site.

1. Open up PHPMyAdmin tool that is provided by your hosting provider and open up your current site's database.
2. Make a sql dump for all the tables that has the prefix of #__easyblog_*
3. Download the .sql file and save it on your desktop.
4. If your new site's database prefix also uses the same prefix , then you can skip this part. However, if you are using a different database prefix, you'll need to edit the .sql file that you've just downloaded, and do a search and replace of jos_ with your new database prefix.
5. Open your PHPMyAdmin and this time, open up your new site's database.
6. You should see an import link at the top. Click on that, and click on browse. Select the .sql file and click the run import button.
7. Install the latest EasyBlog on your new site

if you need further assistance, please provide us with your phpmyadmin access, Joomla backend, and FTP access so we can help you migrate at here.

Hello Cynthia Picart,

Sorry for late reply to this,

Yes, you can follow my instruction at above if you doing the migration from your old site to new site.
*Note : Remember migrate all the Joomla user over your new site and make sure that all the ID is same as your old site user ID.

OK,

But I do not manage to create new users with a specific user ID on Joomla (3.3). The user ID is set automatically by Joomla.

How can you set the new website user ID to be the same that the ones on my old website ?

Moreover as I 've already installed Easyblog on my new website, would I have any trouble to import the posts from my old site?

Regards,

Hello Cynthia Picart,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.
You shouldn't install the Easyblog in your new site first.

First : Migrate all the Joomla user over your new site
Second : Migrate all the Easyblog table over your new site database
Third : This step only install the Easyblog in your new site.

Normally the user will using 3rd party component for migrate all the old Joomla user to new Joomla site. So that all the article will not lose the author ID for each blog post. You can take a look example this few 3rd party extension : http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/migration-a-conversion/popular
