Note: These instructions will show you how to migrate Joomla core data and JReviews data to Joomla 1.7. For data migration of other Joomla extensions that you have on your Joomla 1.5 site, refer to their documentation for instructions.
Migrate using jUpgrade extension
- First make sure your Joomla 1.5 site uses the latest version of JReviews.
- Install jUpgrade extension (com_jupgrade-1.2.0.zip) on your Joomla 1.5 site using Joomla installer.
- Go to Components -> jUpgrade to start the migration process (the extension will ask you to enable MooTools Upgrade plugin if it's disabled)
- Click on "Start upgrade" button. jUpgrade will then download the latest Joomla 1.7 release, install it and migrate all Joomla core data. The new site will be located inside the /jupgrade subfolder of your main site and it will use the same database, but with different table prefix (j17_ instead of jos_).
- Next step is to transfer JReviews database tables for the new site (that needs to be done before installing JReviews on Joomla 1.7). Since the new site is installed in the same database, you could just rename all jos_jreviews_ tables to j17_jreviews_, but it is probably safer to create copies of the tables.
