Ucoz to Joomla data converter (WIP).

This converter will help users to move their site from Ucoz to Joomla.

Goals:

• Converter for categories
• Converter for users
• Converter for blogs
• Converter for loads
• Converter for news
• Converter for publications
• Web configurator

Requirements All requirements for Joomla. PHP memory limit should set at least to 100Mb. And higher value required if you have big dump.

How to install

Copy into root Joomla folder.

How to run converter

Before run any converters, you need to go to http://your_site/ucoz_converter/index.php and set up all settings.

php path_to_joomla/ucoz_converter/categories.php - this will create new categories in Joomla database.

If you want to create categories again, delete categories_import.json in /imports folder. You can do the same for other types(e.g. news, blogs, users).

Import users

Before starting import users create all needed additional fields for user in Joomla. After that, enter the values in Extra fields on the Users and groups tab.

NB! If #__fields_values table have tons of records when update all fields require some time(~1 sec per user for 6 fields). The more fields, the more time for updating. If you do not want(or not required) update these fields set Insert extra fields option to No.

Run php path_to_joomla/ucoz_converter/users.php to import info about users and if import successful when run php path_to_joomla/ucoz_converter/ugen.php to update info about users(such as banned or not and user group).

Beware!!

Some content(users, categories or news) cannot be moved as 1:1. At least for users Ucoz does not validate email, Joomla does.
