SP Upgrade - Joomla Extension

Transfer of website from one content management system to another is always identified with some difficulty. The reason for this was the inconsistency of approaches, databases, schemes, and concerned the problem is not only different CMS, but also different versions of the same system. To solve the transition between Joomla 2.5 and later versions of Joomla and the component was created SP Upgrade.

 

Extension Description

Its primary purpose is to migrate all elements of a site to a later version of CMS. Using the extension allows to achieve absolute accurate transfer of all elements of the website: this applies to databases with all the parameters, IDs of pages, articles, and images, as well as all menus, users, installed modules and extensions. In this case, the component SP Upgrade gives the user full control over the transfer process, whereby it is possible to define the necessary objects and leave out information not relevant.

To update the website is a Joomla extension needs to install a new version of the CMS in the root store server. First you need to download, then install and install on top of SP Upgrade. It consists of two parts - a component Com_spupgrade and libraries Spcyend. After running the installation in a component, you must wait until the extension will collect all the information and migrate it to the new version of the site.

This Joomla component allows you to breathe life into old and long-abandoned projects by migrating them to a new "engine" with the preservation of the structure and all materials. It is much easier to edit pre-made pages than to create them anew, isn't it?
