TOPIC: Images migrations

Hello,
I would like to buy CMigrator, but I need to know if this extension can migrate article with all content images.

Thank you for your quick answer.

David

Hi David,

With CMigrator you can migrate your content with your images without any problems. Just after migration use our parse function so CMigrator can download all of your images to Joomla! images folder. From 0.5 version you will be able to migrate comments as well.

Best Regards,
Petar

@Peter - wasn't there a problem if the images didn't have a full path (domain + path to the image)???

Yes, I forgot to mention that. Thank you for reminding me Daniel. We are currently working to solve this.
So it is important to know that our image migration is currently working only with absolute paths for images!
So what does this means?
For an example, if you have in your article something like this:, we wont be able to migrate this. You will need to fix those source paths to look something like this:, either your source link can be just:
However, you can do migration and after parsing you can change those source links. It is actually users choice right now. If you have any questions or you need any help with it, feel free to ask!

You can read more about "paths" here:

Hello,
thank you for your advices. I would have related question:

Is it possible to migrate article content with thumb image?

ex.:

<div class="thumb ">
<a href=" www.dvojklik.cz/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/hacker.jpg " rel="prettyPhoto" title="xxx">

<img src=" www.dvojklik.cz/wp-content/themes/London...2&zc=1&q=100 " alt="xxx" class="imgf" style="opacity: 1; ">
</a>
</div>

Thank you

Hey David,

Well this won't work actually. CMigrator would try to open file at location of your source destination but since this location is not having right headers CMigrator would skip it. You can send me your database if you can so I would test it and tell you the results.
This part of code would make you a problem with thumbs:
Let me know if this answers your question.

Cheers,
Petar

Hi,

Just wondering if the problem with relative images has been fixed? I just discovered this component and think that some of my clients would find it helpful, but I doubt that they all have absolute paths to their images. Aside from this, Cmigrator sounds great!

Hi Chris,

Unfortunatly we still didn't fix this.
We are planing to fix it in upcoming version.

Hi,

Thought I'd check in and see if this issue was ever fixed - can images now be imported if they have relative URLs?

Thanks,
Chris

Hey Chris,
Yes, we have this option now since a lot of time
cheers,
Daniel

Great, thanks!
