Migration from Docman to EDocman

Matts Hogberg wrote: Hi!

I'm also interested in migrating from Docman to EDocman. Plan to migrate my Joomla 2.5 site with Docman 1.6, before I migrate to Joomla 3.4.
Do you have a script or plugin to use?

Hi Matts

As I don't have Docman version 1.6, It will be very difficult for me to work on the migration script. Could you please send me a copy of your Docman database so that I can check it with the migration script I am having and then send it to you once it is working? I can work on it and get it implemented this week for you

Is there any update on if a migration script will be available for J3.4.x, with Docman 2.x to eDocman 1.6.x ?

Because it isn't available at the moment, I will have to write my own mysql script to do the migration work for 1000+ files/categories/documents.

Kind regards,

Hi Nick

Right now, we only have migration script for Docman 1.x, we don't have the script for Docman 2.x, so it will take time to implement. I am afraid of we could not have it ready in less than two weeks (as we have to work on other things at the same time), So if you can work on it yourself, that would be great

Great!
Of Course can I send you the Docman db tables, how do I send them you?
I don't want to attach them as a file in the forum.

Here is the updated component (Matts used to migrate the data already). Here is the instructions to use it to migrate data from Docman 1.x to EDocman:

1. Import your Docman database to your current site database .

2. Install this component

3.Access to this migrator component -> Configuration, make sure you make the correct settings

4. Then you can start migrating categories, documents from Docman to EDocman

Please try and let me know if you need any more assist

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has made any progress with a migration script for DOCman 2 to Edocman? I too have a site with over 1000 categories to migrate...
Thanks

I am moving all my sites that use Docman to eDocman and would like an easy way of importing categories and documents (original publish dates and download hits data) if at all possible. I would suggest that eDocman will become an even more popular component and if this facility were available, it would help users 'jump-ship' more easily.

Hi Alex,
Currently, Edocman doesn't have function to migrate data from Docman component. But we will consider to implement it in near future.
Thanks

Do you think it will be done by August 2016? This is when my Docman subscription runs out ?

Hi,
You can submit ticket and i will send you the beta version of Docman to Edocman migration component.
Thanks
