Hi,
I am a newbee using Drupal, and i'm trying to get some informations about How to migrate several Jahia website into Drupal.
I can't find any good information about that. I just got some explanations such as migrate Joomla -> Drupal or Wordpress -> Drupal...
The only solution I just kept from now is using Drupal Migrate Module

Could you please help me to find out some:
- Best practices
- Scripts (on linux)
- Roadmap

Any advices and/or help are welcome !

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards,

Did you already check documentation at http://drupal.org/node/415260 and/or user cases available under Resources title at http://drupal.org/project/migrate ? Can't imagine best places to start from.

Best,

Hey, I already checked all

Hey,

I already checked all those link,
I think the hardest part is to find out how to match each Jahia Terminology to Drupal Terminology...

For example:

Joomla vs Drupa terminology

Joomla "Template" is called "Theme" in Drupal.
Component = Module.
Module = Block.
Mambot/Plugin = Input filter.
Menu-Horizontal = Primary Links
Menu-Vertical = Navigation
Dynamic Content Item = Story
Static Content = Page

So i don't know where to start, there is NO information for jahia CMS, no script i can setup to begin.

Rgds,

Aha, I see. You have

Aha, I see. You have 2-dimensional issue. Migrate module deals with database layer of migration process, so in order to use it you would want to explore database of your Jahia setup. Migration module examples / documentation is a place to start from in this case. Another question is to match terminology / structure / internal logic for both systems. Guess Drupal documentation section and correspondent section at Jahia website should be explored to find matches and differences.

Thank you for your advice, I'll setup the Migrate module today and see how it works, I watched Mike video's yesterday about the migration module.
My other question is in the same way, what if i've got the most data from my Jahia website in xml file, such as user.xml file, serverPermissions.xml, sitePermissions.xml... and do so on...

It would be easier in that way but i can't stop wondering myself if i can use directly those XML file from my Jahia website and upload directly via a module on Drupal. :P
Or the other solution that I have is find a way to convert the XML File into CSV file and upload it with Feeds Module.

What do you think ?

Note: Jahia dynamically aggregates all the content objects including static
content and dynamic portlets and renders them through JSP template. XML export feature allows
to output a page or a content object in XML which can be reused else where.

Thank you in advance,
