The main gol is migrate data from Joomla! to Plone using Transmogrifier

Pinning info

The buildout has its versions pinned, the most important pinnings are noted here.

The transmogrify.sqlalchemy blueprint, as of this writing does not support SQLAlchemy 0.7. :

SQLAlchemy = 0.6.7

We are running Plone 4.0, so we need to pin this to work properly. :

plone.app.discussion = 1.0

Install instructions

Joomla! Install

First you should create a Joomla! site. The demo was created using Joomla! 1.5.23, but should work fine with any Joomla! 1.5.x install. The queries are all written in MySQL, so you'll need to set up Joomla! using MySQL. See the Joomla! docs for more details.

In joomla2plone.migration.config.base, you can change the dsn to match your settings. The default is to connect with the root user with no password set. The default database name is joomla-transmog. :

[joomla]
blueprint = transmogrify.sqlalchemy
dsn = mysql://root@localhost/joomla-transmog

Running the Buildout

First, get the source. :

$ git clone git://github.com/macagua/joomla2plone-transmogrifier.git

Now run the buildout (making sure the joomla site is up and running). :

$ cd joomla2plone-transmogrifier
$ python2.7 bootstrap.py
$ bin/buildout

Buildout will utilize the collective.recipe.plonesite recipe to start up Zope and apply the profiles from joomla2plone.policy. When it is finished the content from joomla should appear in your site.

Alternatively you can run this Buildout via CLI with parameters, with executing this command: :

$ ./bin/buildout -Nvo plonesite:site-replace=true install plonesite

You can create other Plone site with the Data Joomla migrated,with executing this command: :

$ ./bin/buildout -Nvo plonesite:site-replace=true plonesite:site-id=Plone1 install plonesite

Running the Joomla

Once the Joomla install and configure has finished, you can access the site by starting up Joomla. :

# /etc/init.d/apache2 start
# /etc/init.d/mysql start

Then go to the site in your browser: http://localhost/joomla/administrator/

Running the site

Once the buildout has finished, you can access the site by starting up Plone. :

$ bin/zeoserver start
$ bin/instance fg

Then go to the site in your browser: http://localhost:8080/Plone

The folders aren't currently published, so you'll have to login to see the content. :

username: admin
password: admin
