===========================



Let you migrate data from Joomla! to Plone using Transmogrifier.



This is the buildout is ispiraded from the Plone Symposium East 2011

`Clayton Parker`_ talk, `Migrating From Drupal to Plone with Transmogrifier`_.

You can see the `video here`_.



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
