Just following up on this thread.

I want to export over 1500 posts from a 1.5 to 3.0 site.

I am guessing there is no export feature at this point?

Is it just a question of exporting the DB tables and importing into Joomla 3.0 DB?

What changes would have to be made?

Hello Hans Desjarlais,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.
Ideally, it's best that you create an export dump through phpmyadmin and export 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 Joomla 1.x 2.x to Joomla 3.x.

*Backup your data first before perform migration

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.
Note : 7. Install the latest EasyBlog on your new site Joomla 3.3

**migrate additional - if your blog post have including the image file, you have to do this step as well.
That was to copy over the image and media files associated with EasyBlog (e.g. the "/images/easyblog_avatar", "/images/easyblog_images", "/images/easyblog_shared", and the "/media/com_easyblog" folders and all of their contents).

Hope this guideline help.

Hi Arlex,

Thanks for your clear instructions. They make perfect sense to me.
However, when I try to import the .sql file into the NEW website database I get an error message:

MySQL said:

I'm not sure what this means. Do you know how I can fix this?

All I'm looking to do is export the blog entries from my old website to my new one.

Thanks!

Hello Ryan,

It's most likely that you have installed EasyBlog on your new site before running the SQL query above. You can actually ignore this table since this table is already populated during the installation of EasyBlog.
