Joomla to Drupal ---------------- This module enables the import of the following content from a Joomla 1.0.x website into Drupal. - Users - Sections & Categories into Taxonomy Vocabularies and Terms - Content items to nodes Configure the module via Administer >> Site Configuration >> Joomla to Drupal, and run the import from Administer >> Content Management >> Import from Joomla. Requirements ------------ You will need to be able to connect to the Joomla site database from your Drupal host. The two sites do not neeed to be on the same host, however the copying of image files to the Drupal site will only work if the Joomla directory is accessible from the Drupal website. If this is not the case you may copy the Joomla image directory to the Drupal host. Disabling / un-installing the module ------------------------------------ Once you have completed your content import, it is not necessary to keep the Joomla to Drupal module enabled. However, you should be aware of the following: - Joomla and Drupal store user passwords differently. This module provides a mechanism to check the users Joomla password and convert it to the Drupal format on the first successfull login for that user. If you disable the module, any users who have not logged in to the Drupal site will need to request a new password. - This module stores data mapping each user, taxonomy term and content item to it's Joomla equivalent. If you un-install this module, all this data will be lost. If you then reinstall and configure the module a second time, it will reimport all the data it has already imported, It is therefore recommended that you do not disable this module until you are sure that all your users have logged in and had their passwords converted, and that you do not un-install the module until you are absolutely sure you will not need to run another import.
