tried multiple time and it stop. Increase the memory limit and max execution to highest level does not work
No error.
Further opon checking similar issue on forum and tried re import article again it also not work.
Noticed k2 items alias in Joomla is also not correct
Kindly help for a fix.

    crossi10 Hi

    Firstly, pls backup your site and try to install this version:

    plg-jak2tocomcontentmigration.zip
    39kB

    and try to migrate data again.

    In case that your site has large number of K2 items, pls run the migration several times.

    Regards

        Hi
        The problem is coming with the article alias.
        as we have same article alias in k2 for different cateogries.
        In Joomla it also allowed when u save article in different categoies but in migration the article alias has been changed and not following the original k2 alias.
        example alias : test for 4 items
        it making alias as test1
        test2
        test3 and so on even when the article parent category is not same.

        thank you

            crossi10 Hi

            I comprehend the difficulty in this situation but Joomla articles don't allow using same alias for different articles

                Hi
                it does allow i the category is different and its the case here.
                so the plugin should allow to alias to be inserted as the category is different.

                    crossi10 Hi

                    I've shared with our developer for further checking on this, do you have Joomla 3 site so we can check there?

                        Hi
                        Any updates on this? you can try it on normal k2 install as well if needed.
                        Migration will give same issue.

                        Thank you

                              Hi, crossi10

                              I am sorry for late. It takes me time to complete some custom code and update the performance of this plugin for your case.
                              So I have some notes:

                              1. The migration action will show joomla warning: Another article from this category has the same alias (remember it may be a trashed item) when you have k2 items with the same alias and assigned category.
                              2. The alias can be the same follows a joomla condiotion: same alias in different categories.

                              As I checked in your database, in a table: #__k2_items with ~ 151 records, it showed me some k2 items had the same alias in the same category:

                              So I wrote some code to make it work through as your requirements. Currently, the k2 items migration flow likes:

                              • if k2 items has same alias but different assigned category, the alias won't be changed
                              • otherwise, the alias will be changed to avoid joomla catch error

                              and will be migrated into joomla content.

                              I have attached the plugin.zip below, it may take you to run 2-3 times in order to migrate all the k2 items without the errors now. The plugin is still under improvement so you kindly be patience.

                                        Hi, crossi10
                                        I am currently checking and working on it to make sure it work right. Beside that, when you start again, the process will skip the migrated items.
                                        Regards,

                                            vangogh
                                            any idea when you will able to fix all bugs and share the package?

                                              When you start to migrate the K2 content again, it will skip the migrated items, could you tell me which are duplicated items and 404 error?
