Day 3 : Assessing the Previous Migration Tool

Today’s focus was on evaluating the existing migration tool from the Joomla Converter project .
It supports older versions of Joomla.

What I Explored:

  • The tool follows a modular approach.

  • Supports Both Database migration as well as Media migration.

  • It only works if both the websites are on same server, i.e migrates the databases and migrates media via File System.

  • It breaks on Newer version.

  • Provides a good idea for mapping and taxonomies.

What it Lacks

  • Authorization - Fails to ensure data security, i.e SU must authorize the migration.

  • What to fit for Hard Coded and default values. (We need to calculate the value for each category

    same with tags, menus etc)

  • Data Cleanup
