If you think that migrating your site to Joomla 3.x is hard and complicated… you’re right. So we’ve tried to make it easier, at least when it comes to moving your Joomla extensions’ data to the Joomla 3.x platform.

2. Site B (Powered by Joomla! 3.5)

Follow these steps to migrate Guru database from Site A to Site B:

2. Go to Components -> iJoomla Migrate
3. Click on EXPORT button (red button) to export Guru database tables.
4. Save guru.zip file on your disk. We will use it later.

Site B (Joomla 3)

1. Install iJoomla Migrator (com_ijoomlamigrateguru_joomla3.x.zip) on Site B.
2. Upload export_guru.php to this directory: administrator/components/com_ijoomlamigrateguru/uploaded_files
3. Go to Components -> iJoomla Migrate
4. Select the uploaded file (guru.zip) and click on START button.
5. Install Guru for J! 3.x and you will see it includes all your courses, students, etc.

Make sure all the data was migrated properly by visiting you iJoomla Guru

Migrate the media files

Download the following directories from the Joomla 1.5 to the same location on Joomla 2.5:

images/stories/guru

If you miss this step, all the media files will be missing.
