I complete the next steps.

1-Install the component in my Mambo Website
2-Export-Compile Site Data by Sections (is the only Feature that is activated) error: Due to incompatibility all "Import" features have been disabled. So it is only possible to "Export Content" one way from Mambo to Joomla.
NOTE: This may be addressed in a later release.
3-Download the "import_content_data"
4-Install the component in my Joomla 1.54 website
5-Install the "import_content_data"
6-Go to Export Component in Joomla 1.54 and click "Transfer Imported Data by Sections"
7-Mark the checkboxes of all sections and click "Insert"
8-In the next step I can see all sections, categories and Content Items but when I click "Save" a lot of "Notice" Errors and a message that say: "Article must have some text" and when I click "ok" the system jump to the page before.

Note: if I made the same but with only one section marked is the same problem

Hi Mrangelo,

Did you make sure that you installed Export Content version 2.0.0 on the Joomla 1.5.4 site?

The error message that you are getting is not one that you should get from Export Content and appears to be coming from Joomla core once the data is handed over.

It appears to be the message you get when creating a new article and attempting to leave the content box empty.
Are there any article like that in the section(s)?

Please double check you have the correct versions installed.
You could also, using the edit feature in Export Content check that the article content has been imported correctly.
You could try moving by category or content items to see if you still get the error.
You should think about upgrading from Joomla 1.5.4 to 1.5.6 see here:
http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=315540

Please post back with your results.

I re-check and i have the version 2.0 in Joomla 1.54 with the legacy plug in on and the same problem: "Article must have some text"

remember I try to export from a Mambo website with the "com_export_content_mambo" and import in my new website in Joomla 1.54, probably the "com_export_content_mambo" not working good...

Hi mrangelo,

Did you check that the content had installed correctly via the edit feature under export content content items?
Did you try moving by category or content item(s) to see if you still get the error?

Please check that these are writable 777 on both sites:
administrator/components/com_export_content/img/...
administrator/components/com_export_content/zip/...
administrator/components/com_export_content/new_version/...

And then re-compile the data on the Mambo site.
Then uninstall and re-install the data on the Joomla site.

What version of PHP do you have on the Joomla 1.5+ site?
There are a few issues with Joomla and PHP 4.3 series.
Have you got iconv library enabled on both servers?

-Did you check that the content had installed correctly via the edit feature under export content content items?---------------------yes, I use the edit feature and I can see the content info
-Did you try moving by category or content item(s) to see if you still get the error?--------------------- yes I try moving by category and content items and the same error "Article must have some text" and behind a lot of lines with the errors admin.export_content.php in line ****
----------------------------------------------------time!!! I found the problem.... the error message is correct "Article must have some text" the component not permited to Import Empty contents. In my website I use jReviews Component and this component use empty contents for example: a content name: "Hotels" but inside the content is empty. I found this because when I try to import my contents "News" (this contents really have information) the import function but he import the content to a new category with different ID not to the original Category that I already make and chone in the import wizard steps.-----------------------------------------------------------

the perfect is to modify this import_component to import empty content also.

Thanks

Angel

Hi Angel,

The error is from the core store() function which won't accept empty content items.

QUOTE:

I may look into a work around in the next release of Export Content.

For now if you want to be able to transfer the jReviews Component empty items you will need to access each one via the Export Content edit feature and enter a space using the space bar this will trick the store function into thinking it has content and should allow you to move the items as expected.

The trick of enter a space in to the content data function correctly,

but I don't know what happen because all imported content in to my Joomla website not have the same ID's of the normal website in Mambo. I need to have the same ID's in all contents in order to import the database of reviews for the jReviews component.

Is normal that the Export Component work like this (not export and import the same ID's) or is a bug?

Thanks;

Angel

Hi Angel,

When Export Content moves data into a site the ID's can't remain the same as there may already be content there that would have been assigned the same ID's.

It simply adds content and assigns the next ID in the sequence (see: mysql -auto increment).

If you want to maintain all the ID's as they are now you would need to move the whole site at once into an empty database and due to the incompatibility between Mambo and the Joomla 1.5+ series there are a lot of changes made on the fly by Export Content like:

*Converting "mosimage" tags to proper <img> tags.
*Converting "pagebreaks"
*And a few other bots.
*Convert any "htmentities" to their "utf8" equivalent etc etc.
