Hi, I want to start from scratch with a new clean joomla 3.4.5 installation and EasyBlog (http://developer.webjobbing.com) and want to import all my EasyBlog articles from http://www.liumo.com (joomla version 2.5.20). How can I do that?
Hey Oddgeir,

We don't actually have an "exporter" tool yet but this is what you can actually do:

1. Install EasyBlog 5.x on your 2.5 site.
2. Export the database tables with the prefix of #_easyblog (with phpmyadmin)
3. Import these database tables into your Joomla 3.4.5 database (with phpmyadmin)
4. Install EasyBlog 5.x on your Joomla 3 site.

Hey there,

I am sorry for the delay of this and not sure what is your current media storage path yet, so I assume that you didn't change the Easyblog default storage path, so you can just copy over these file storage folder into your new Joomla root folder.
(e.g. the "/images/easyblog_avatar", "/images/easyblog_images", "/images/easyblog_shared", and the "/media/com_easyblog" and etc folders)

Hope this help.

Thanks Arlex, just another question. My database files from liumo.com is named ex: j25_easyblog but the files installed in the new installation is named: jos_easyblog. Do I have to first delete the jos_easyblog files in new installation, then import the j25_easyblog from liumo.com and rename to jos_easyblog? Meaning the files have to have the name jos_easyblog? Thanks.

Hey Oddgeir,

Hm, what do you mean by "files"? Do you mean the database export? Perhaps you could just edit the .sql file and do a search and replace of "j25_" with "jos_" instead and only then import the sql file?

Hey Oddgeir,

May i know do you backup your existing data yet?

Yes, you can pass your following site details into `Site Details` tab :
#1. Joomla 2.5 and Joomla 3.4 Superadmin access
#2. Both FTP access
#3. Both PHPMYADMIN access

Hey Oddgeir,

I've checked in your Joomla 3.x site user, it seems like you haven't migrate Joomla 2.5 user to Joomla 3.x yet.

If not, after you migrate all the post data from Joomla 2.5 to 3.x, all the post author id will be different.

To migrate Joomla user from Joomla 2.5 to 3.x you have to use 3rd party extension and make sure all the user id is same as Joomla 2.5 so only can perform this migration in your site.

By the way, may i know what error are you hitting when you import?

You can put your .sql dump file into your FTP directory file, so that I can open that .sql dump file and see what thing causing the issue.

Hey Oddgeir,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

I already help you migrated all the Joomla 2.5 Easyblog table over to your Joomla 3.x .

What you need to do is copy these few folder from Joomla 2.5/images/easyblog_xxx to your Joomla 3.x/images/

So your site image/avatar will not show broken image.
