TOPIC: Export/Import

I am migrating my site ( www.beecavebee.com ) from a 1.5 Joomla install to a new 2.5 instance. I do not intend to migrate all of my articles or comments, just the most recent 100 or so. Is there any way to export and import a subset of my comments to do that systematically. Thank you SE.

Well, you can just login with phpmyadmin and write the following query:

#__ = your table prefix

This query should get you the latest 100 comments and then you can use the export feature in phpmyadmin to export just those 100 comments.

Also make sure that on 1.5 you are running the latest 4.2.1 version. Then when you move to 2.5 install 4.2.1 and after that you can upgrade to 5.0rc2.

Where do I get my table # and will it work without upgrade on old site (which I'm about to switch over and dump)

Go to your joomla's config and have a look at the server tab -> database.

Why not just copy all the tables from 1.5 move them to 2.5 and install ccomment 4.2.1 there? It should pick up all the comments, make the necessary updates and then you could use the backend to delete the comments that you don't need.
