Joomla 2.5 does not have a sections table [#2262043]

Joomla 2.5 doesn't have a sections table, which prevents me from importing the joomla categories into drupal (as categories).

I'll be writting a patch to fix this.

This is closer to a domain-specific problem.

This patch removes the sections table and all reference to it.

Joomla categories for the com_content extension are imported into a drupal vocabulary as terms, retaining the structure they had prior (parental relationship).
If you create a new taxonomy term field in the static items node type, you'll be able to configure the module to automatically categorize the pages.
