Update June 2013 - How to use this migration script:
- Make a backup copy of your old Joomla website (1.5.x)
- Download and install the latest Joomla CMS
- Go through the Joomla Web-based Installation GUI until the process deletes the Installation folder.
- Avoid installing Sample Data if possible (there will be some but this script has been reworked to potentially accommodate).
- Download my migration script
- Decide on which script to use:
- If you have a small site (less than 10'000 articles), then you will use the single script "migrate_j15_to_j25_new_v1_8.sql"
- For larger sites (~200'000 articles), then you will need to use the 3-part script "migrate_j15_to_j25_new_v1_6_pt1.sql", "migrate_j15_to_j25_new_v1_6_pt2.sql", "migrate_j15_to_j25_new_v1_6_pt3.sql". Part 2 is dedicated to content migration, the commands are split to do about 5000 articles on each iteration so as to avoid session timeouts and memory issues.
- Edit the script, renaming the database and table names used (DO NOT CONFUSE THE FOLLOWING DATABASE NAMES OR YOU WILL END UP WITH NEITHER SITE WORKING!!!)
- Open the SQL file in your favorite text-editor
- Rename any instance of "my_old_database.jos_" to the name of your old Joomla 1.5 database or a copy of (note the "jos_" prefix to all J15 tables, if you have changed this then reflect this in the SQL file).
- Rename any instance of "my_new_database" to the name of your new Joomla 3.0 database (don't change the table prefix for the new Joomla and instead do this as the next step).
- Rename any instance of "my_new_database.my_prefix_" to the name of your new Joomla 3.0 database (note that we're reflecting the prefix to use but also the database name - by this step, "my_new_database" should have been renamed).
- Save the SQL file, this is now unique to your website and this process. It does not contain usernames or passwords but has the real database names and all website content, so do not redistribute without taking security measures.
- Decide on which script to use:
- Run the SQL against your new database
- Open your favorite database management tool (phpMyAdmin, workBench, navicat, sqlyog?) and connect to the new database.
- This script will use both databases, reading from the old Joomla database and writing to the new one.
- To run this script, your user needs SELECT, INSERT and UPDATE privileges on the new database (only SELECT on the old database will do). Special care has been made to avoid the use of functions, stored procedures, temporary tables, etc. This allows broader compatibility and customers who do not have DBAs to run this themselves. Personally I grant the user who will be executing the script full privileges or at least the same as needed to install Joomla CMS.
- Cross your fingers and use your DB management tool to run the SQL file (or copy the contents of the SQL file into the input field)
- Re-build/Auto-correct some Joomla inconsistencies
- Login to your Joomla Admin Panel using a System Administrator account ("Super User"?)
- Go to Categories > click on the "REBUILD" icon (top right)
- Go to Menus > click on the "REBUILD" icon (top right)
- Check your Joomla Admin User
- Each new Joomla version is trying a different method making this very diffcult to maintain. Check that the "super administrators" for Joomla 1.5 are in your new Joomla site (as "Super Users").
- Check that the system administrator for the new Joomla site (created on installation) is still a "Super User" (e-mail address, receives sys emails) and note their ID (identifier number).
- See if elements created on install show as created by the admin user and not by one of your users who coincidentally has the same identifier.
- Check that your OddUser (will be last user listed in users table) can login and their respective articles are still attributed to them.
- Prepare for Go Live
- This migration script is not a silver bullet. It was created to take away the hours I know I would spend without it.
- This is not an upgrade; it is likely that your client may reconsider the template they are using or may want to add new 3rd-party components.
- If asked: "how long will it take", do not say 5 minutes. This script runs on average in 15 seconds. The remaining hours, days, weeks will be spent on bringing your website up to standard with all issues addressed and sporting the latest version of the Joomla CMS!
UPDATE 2012 - Valid for Joomla 2.5.x but only experimental for Joomla 3.0.x!
I still do not recommend using this for your site if you have no test environment, however... I have used this script continuously to migrate J1.5.x websites to J2.5.x without issue. I have managed to do whole migrations in under 2 hours (this script runs in about 20 seconds based on 1000 articles and 5000 users) and my clients are satisfied! I am so pleased I made this script; it has saved me so much time!
After many tweaks and corrections having upgraded multiple sites in the past few years with this script, the version below migrates the following:
- Articles
- Banners
- Categories & Sections
- Menus * NEW
- Messages
- Newsfeeds
- Users * UPDATED
- Weblinks
So this is fun. We've waited and waited and Joomla 1.6 is now stable... Exciting because this is not a simple 1.5.21 to 1.5.22 upgrade. But don't believe the drama across the web, the system introduces only a few new fundamental improvements (particularly Access Control and Groups) which actually only means some minor database alterations.
I've googled, yahood and binged, but still can't find a good way to upgrade my site from Joomla version 1.5 to 1.6 so as usual I find myself writing the first migration script. Why use a script? Well apps like jUpgrade didn't work for me. This is how to manually migrate using a MySQL database management tool like PhpMyAdmin. I'm not too bothered about upgrading my own personal site (Joomla 1.5), it's just the silly number of client websites I have to upgrade.
This I find a lot simpler, my day job involves working with SQL so this script was rather basic and quick to write. You have two databases, one with your Joomla 1.5 old content, and one following a fresh install of the latest Joomla (at time of last print: 2.5.6 - preferably no sample data pre-installed). Change the database names in this script (including the new random prefix for J2.5) and run it. 20 seconds later your Joomla 1.6-2.5.x website will have all your J1.5 articles and users...
DISCLAIMER:
This is to help ME migrate Joomla 1.5 sites to Joomla 1.6 automatically. I have also been using this happily for Joomla 2.5.x websites and more recently for an experimental Joomla 3.0.x website.
- I do not work for Joomla!
- This script is for my own use.
- Joomla! are in no way liable for this script.
- You can copy this script as long as you specify a link to its source.
- You can use this script as long as you don't hold me responsible for the results.
- If you don't understand what this script is doing, you shouldn't be running it. Please ask someone who does.
-- IMPORTANT NOTES (to be included in SQL script):
-- -- The script below is to migrate your existing Joomla! 1.5 database
-- -- to an instance of Joomla! version 1.6.x or greater.
-- -- You should have both sites up and running alongside each other.
-- -- The instructions below uses 2 databases: LIVE and UPGRADE
-- -- Do not run this if you only have 1 database available!
-- -- References to J15 indicate a Joomla version 1.5.x instance.
-- -- References to J30 indicate a Joomla version 1.6.x or greater.
-- REQUIRED:
-- -- A minimum of 2 databases. The original and the one to migrate to.
-- -- A login account (mysql user) with most privileges on BOTH databases.
-- -- To change the database names used in the below script to the ones you use!!!
-- SKIP MIGRATION:
-- -- Each section was written so that it could be migrated separate to the rest.
-- -- It is recommended to skip the menu migration and to do this manually.
-- -- This script was initially written to only migrate articles and users.
-- MINIMAL SETUP REQUIRED FOR USING THIS SCRIPT:
-- -- Live = The live and original version of the website (Joomla! 1.5.x)
-- -- Upgrade = Fresh install of Joomla! 1.6.x - 3.0.x (sample data optional).

-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- I. Help on using the queries below
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- There are a few notes about running the scripts.
-- A new table in Joomla 1.6+ is the `jos_assets` which wants to list
-- each article, banner, category, contact, newsfeed, weblink. This is
-- why each snippet consists of more than one MySQL query.
-- I have separated the queries so that they can be run individually
-- rather than running this entire script in one go but do try to run the
-- whole script as it maintains associations between users and content.
-- Reminder: backticks have been used on reserved words so that this SQL
-- script runs on systems that do not have the most recent mySQL version
-- installed. These are NOT the same as apostrophes used in SQL to define
-- non-numerical values.
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- -- 1. replace all database names in the scripts below
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Yeh well you've been warned BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!
-- I have several databases and websites setup with exact copies of the
-- data so I can risk this one not working. You need as a minimum, at
-- least 2 databases to use the queries in this script (Live and Upgrade).
-- INSTRUCTIONS:
-- #1 Replace "my_old_database.jos_" to the existing & current database
-- including the table prefix (Joomla 1.5.x).
-- #2 Replace "my_new_database" to the name of the new/upgrade database
-- excluding the new table prefix (Joomla 1.6.x, 1.7.x, 2.5.x, 3.0.x).
-- #3 Replace "my_new_database.my_prefix_" to the name of the new database
-- including the new table prefix (Joomla 1.6.x, 1.7.x, 2.5.x, 3.0.x).
-- Tip: I copy & paste this code into a text editor, then do
-- "Replace All" with these 3 values, then copy & paste the resulting
-- SQL into a query against my new database.
-- - Replace Step #1: 58 Occurrences
-- - Replace Step #2: 169 Occurrences
-- - Replace Step #3: 167 Occurrences
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- -- 2. checking before you commit changes
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- If you select the part of each expression from the SELECT and run these
-- to see what results are returned, it is reading only and not making any
-- changes. It will show you what data the query is planning to migrate.
-- EXAMPLE:
-- SET @exampleLocalVariable=1;
-- INSERT INTO
-- `my_new_database`.my_prefix_sampletable
-- (`id`, `name`, `title`, `value`)
-- SELECT
-- 1, 'Joel Lipman', 'Webmaster', @exampleLocalVariable
-- FROM
-- `my_old_database`.jos_sampletable
-- WHERE
-- `my_old_database`.jos_sampletable.user_id=1;
-- You could copy and paste this whole query and then remove everything
-- from the "INSERT INTO" to just before the "SELECT" (as below):
-- SET @exampleLocalVariable=1;
-- SELECT
-- 1, 'Joel Lipman', 'Webmaster', @exampleLocalVariable
-- FROM
-- `my_old_database`.jos_sampletable
-- WHERE
-- `my_old_database`.jos_sampletable.user_id=1;
-- This would return the data to migrate but without making any changes.
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- II. 1. Declare some variables
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- A bit obsolete as we'll address each variable per section.
-- NOTE: Because Joomla randomly selects an ID for the installing admin, I
-- have changed the script to determine what this ID is by finding out what
-- user_id is the first user created in the upgrade site. This is the ID
-- used when installing Joomla CMS. It is important that the script below
-- accounts for the fact that you may have a user with the same ID in your
-- previous Joomla CMS and we would want to maintain any relationships and
-- history of both entities.
-- As a workaround, the installing admin ID will stay as is and will be
-- a new user in your users table. The user who originally was assigned
-- that ID will be moved to the end of the list and any associated content
-- and events will be re-linked to that user.
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- II. 2. jos_banner to #__banners
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- For BANNERS, we're going to do the following:
-- 1) Create banner-category assets
-- 2) Import banner categories
-- 3) Migrate banners from J15 to J30
-- 4) Update foreign keys
-- 5) Remove notes used by script
-- 6) Associate category IDs
-- 7) Remove remaining migration notes [Optional Step]
-- Affects: #__assets, #__banners, #__categories
-- * You need to run steps 1-7 for a full transfer of banners (does not
-- include clients and tracks, run the remainder of this section for these).
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Step 1) Create banner-category assets:
-- - Import banner categories from J15 and insert as assets in J30
SET @new_jos_assets_last_inc=(
SELECT (SUBSTRING_INDEX(`name`, '.', -1)*1) AS lastcatid
FROM `my_new_database`.my_prefix_assets

WHERE `name`='com_banners');
SET @new_jos_banners_parent_id = (
SELECT IFNULL(@new_jos_banners_parent_id, 0));
INSERT INTO
`my_new_database`.my_prefix_assets (
`parent_id`, `lft`, `rgt`, `level`, `name`, `title`, `rules`)
SELECT
@new_jos_banners_parent_id AS parent_id,

FROM
`my_old_database`.jos_categories
WHERE
`my_old_database`.jos_categories.section='com_banner';
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Step 2) Import banner categories:
-- - Import banner categories from J15 and insert as categories in J30
SET @new_jos_categories_extension_alias=(
SELECT `alias`
FROM `my_new_database`.my_prefix_categories
WHERE `extension`='com_content'
ORDER BY `id` ASC
LIMIT 0,1);
SET @new_jos_categories_id_last_lft=(

SELECT
@new_jos_banners_parent_id AS parent_id,
@new_jos_categories_id_last_lft:=@new_jos_categories_id_last_lft+2 AS lft,

CONCAT('Import from J15. PreviousID=catid', c.`id`) AS note,
c.`description`, c.`published`,

FROM
`my_old_database`.jos_categories c
INNER JOIN `my_old_database`.jos_banner b ON b.catid=c.id
WHERE
c.section='com_banner';
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Step 3) Migrate banners from J15 to J30:
-- - Import banners from J15 and insert as banners in J30
-- - Maintain asset_id and category_id
-- - J30 Assigns ID of 42 to creator of vanilla (Joomla!) banners
-- -> Need to use ID of creator of first category as creator of banners.
SET @new_jos_admin_id=(
SELECT `created_user_id`
FROM `my_new_database`.my_prefix_categories
WHERE `id`='1');
INSERT INTO
`my_new_database`.my_prefix_banners (

`clickurl`, `state`, `catid`, `description`, `custombannercode`, `sticky`,
`ordering`, `params`, `track_clicks`, `track_impressions`, `publish_up`,
`publish_down`, `created`, `language`)
SELECT
`cid`, `type`, `name`, `alias`, `imptotal`, `impmade`, `clicks`,
`clickurl`, 1, `catid`, CONCAT(`description`, '(PreviousID=', `bid`, ')'),

'"}'
)
),
0, 0, `publish_up`, `publish_down`, `date`, '*'
FROM
`my_old_database`.jos_banner;
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Step 4) Update foreign keys in J30:
-- - Set categories asset_id to assets ID.
UPDATE
`my_new_database`.my_prefix_categories a,
`my_new_database`.my_prefix_assets b
SET a.`asset_id`=b.`id` WHERE b.`name` LIKE 'com_banners.category.%'
AND b.`title` LIKE '% :|joes|%'
AND SUBSTR(

(LOCATE('|: ', b.`title`) - ( LOCATE(' :|joes|', b.`title`)+8))
) = SUBSTR( a.`note`, LOCATE(' PreviousID=catid', a.`note`) + 17 );
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Step 5) Remove script markers from assets:
-- - Remove everything after and including the string ":|joes|"
UPDATE
`my_new_database`.my_prefix_assets b,
`my_new_database`.my_prefix_categories a
SET b.`title`=TRIM(SUBSTR(b.`title`, 1, LOCATE(' :|joes|', b.`title`))),
b.`name`=CONCAT('com_banners.category.', a.`id`)
WHERE b.`title` LIKE '% :|joes|%' AND b.`id`=a.`asset_id`;
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Step 6) Associate category IDs:
-- - Determine IDs by script notes "PreviousID="
UPDATE
`my_new_database`.my_prefix_categories a,
`my_new_database`.my_prefix_banners b
SET b.`catid`=a.`id`
WHERE b.`catid`=SUBSTR( a.`note`, LOCATE('. PreviousID=catid', a.`note`)+18)

SET a.`catid`=@new_jos_banners_parent_id
WHERE a.`catid` NOT IN (SELECT `id` FROM `my_old_database`.jos_categories);
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Step 7) Remove remaining migration notes [Optional Step]:
-- - Remove notes of "Import from J15. PreviousID=..."
-- * Comment this out with a preceding double-hyphen if you want to
-- leave the notes in the system. These say what the ID references
-- were in the J15 system. I leave them in until satisfied the
-- process worked. You can use the Joomla admin panel to remove them
-- later instead of running the below UPDATE.
UPDATE `my_new_database`.my_prefix_categories
SET `note`=''
WHERE `note` LIKE 'Import from J15. Previous%';
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- II. 3. jos_bannerclient to #__banner_clients
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- For BANNER CLIENTS, we're going to do the following:
-- 1) Import banner clients from J15 and insert into J30
-- 2) Re-associate banner clients (in case J30 already includes new clients)
-- Affects: #__banners, #__banner_clients
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Step 1) Import banner clients from J15 and insert into J30:
-- - Assign a default state of published (state did not exist in J15)
INSERT INTO `my_new_database`.my_prefix_banner_clients (
`name`, `contact`, `email`, `extrainfo`, `state`, `checked_out`,
`checked_out_time`, `purchase_type`, `track_clicks`, `track_impressions`)
SELECT `name`, `contact`, `email`, `extrainfo`, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
FROM `my_old_database`.jos_bannerclient;
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Step 2) Re-associate banner clients (in case J30 already includes new clients)
-- - Re-associate if description contains migration notes
UPDATE `my_new_database`.my_prefix_banners a
INNER JOIN `my_old_database`.jos_bannerclient c ON a.cid=c.cid
INNER JOIN `my_new_database`.my_prefix_banner_clients b ON b.email=c.email

WHERE a.description LIKE '%(PreviousID=%';
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- II. 4. jos_bannertrack to #__banner_tracks
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- For BANNER TRACKS, we're going to do the following:
-- 1) Import banner tracks from J15 and insert into J30.
-- & Re-associate banner track IDs to "new" IDs in J30.
-- 2) Remove migration notes in J30 [Optional Step]
-- Affects: #__banner_tracks, #__banners
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Step 1) Import banner tracks from J15 and insert into J30 & associate IDs.
INSERT INTO `my_new_database`.my_prefix_banner_tracks
(`track_date`, `track_type`, `banner_id`)
SELECT a.`track_date`, a.`track_type`, b.`id`

LOCATE(')', b.`description`) - (LOCATE('(PreviousID=', b.`description`)+12)
)=a.banner_id;
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Step 2) Remove migration notes in J30 [Optional Step]
-- - Remove string "(PreviousID=" where it exists in descriptions
UPDATE `my_new_database`.my_prefix_banners
SET description=SUBSTR(description, 1, LOCATE('(PreviousID=', description)-1)
WHERE description LIKE '%(PreviousID=%';
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- II. 5. #__categories
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- NOTE: Categories in Joomla 1.5 have no parent category and sections do not
-- exist in Joomla 1.6.0 or greater
-- For CATEGORIES, we're going to do the following:
-- 1) Import sections as new categories
-- 2) Import categories as sub-categories
-- 3) Update foreign keys for J30: #__categories.asset_id
-- 4) Remove Scripting Notes from J30: #__assets.name
-- 5) Import categories from J15 and insert as assets in J30
-- 6) Insert categories of J15 as categories in J30
-- 7) Update foreign keys in J30: #__categories.asset_id
-- 8) Remove scripting notes in J30: #__assets.name
-- 9) Correct category parent IDs based on sections
-- 10) Correct asset parent IDs based on assets
-- note-to-self: don't import categories that are for others
-- (eg. com_banners - as these are migrated with banners)
-- J15 sections only exist for content?
-- Affects: #__assets, #__categories

Further amendments via the GUI
Login to your Joomla! admin panel:- CATEGORIES
- Go into Content > Category Manager > Rebuild
- Organize the category structure.
- USERS
- Re-assign "Super Administrators" to "Super Users"
- MENUS
- Should work but if not click on "Rebuild"
Issues I ran into
joomla Fatal error: Call to a member function getPath categories.php on line 435I haven't found a way to automate this yet but you can fix all of these in one go by logging into your Joomla! 1.6.0 admin panel > content > category manager > rebuild (icon in top right).

- 2013-03-13: Performance tweaks. Moved to downloads section of website.
- 2012-11-19: Corrected user migration (new admin is determined by first user in new users table).
- 2012-11-15: Additional corrections for Menu migration.
- 2012-11-12: Corrected menu migration if menu items already exist in new site.
- 2012-11-08: Corrected some menu migration. J15 admins now admins in J30.
- 2012-11-02: Added menu migration to the script.
- 2012-11-02: Upgraded to account for pre-installed content.
- 2012-11-02: Upgraded to work with both Joomla v2.5.x or 3.0.x.

- 2012-03-25: Changed instructions regarding changing table prefixes.
- 2012-03-21: Added "Update 2012" to explain compatibility with Joomla version 2.5.6.
- 2011-01-30: First draft of this script
- Add intro script to automatically check I don't get the database names mixed up.
- Get the menu and category rebuild scripts to run automatically.
- Menu item issue: Confirm if J15 Sections not linking automatically (eg. "Joomla CMS")
- Menu item issue: Weblinks component not linked to same category as in J15.
- Menu item issue: re-examine why "Contact Us" link moves one less order than in J15.
- Look to migrate categories, blog layouts, article settings to J30 equivalents.
- Menu item issue: fix migrate user registration, user profile menu items.
