Hello Guys,

I’m trying to migrate a large site using Ja Travel from Joomla 1.5 to 2.5.
I found and read a lot on migration, but did not find anything pointing out JA_templates typically.

My migration component is SP Ugrade.

So far, I made 2 attempts of migration which worked for everything (com, mods, plg) except for JA Travel.
Setting JA_TRAVEL as Default Template leads to a blank HomePage.

Attempt #1: with SP Ugrade everything is done at Destination site level.
– Destination site Installed from JA_Travel for J2.5 – Quickstart => without samples
– Installed all other components, plugins and modules for J2.5
– Then migrate everything one by one except ja_travel which was installed from quickstart
Result => Blank homepage

Attempt #2: still SP Ugrade
– Uninstalled JA Travel from the Destination site
– Set source ja_travel folder (J1.5 previous site) to be converted and transfered to Destination site
– Installed the converted ja_travel
– set it as Default in J2.5
– in the template’s config in J2.5 I had to confirm to get it converted according to new structure
Everything worked but visiting my homepage I’ve got a blank page again.

So my question is:
What is the best strategy to get Ja_travel migrated from J1.5 to J2.5?

Should I RE-install from quickstart the destination site but WITH SAMPLES?
Is there a dedicated post about migrating JA templates – T3 framework?

In advance thanks,
-Charles

Yes, I’ve checked out this these guides.
Everything has been migrated without any problem.
But with JA_travel as default it won’t work.

Hi Charles,

As you said in the first post, your home page is blank, right? You can enable Error reporting in Backend > Sites > Global configuration, then error messages will appear and you will know where error comes from

I’ve removed the Destination site in order to re-create it from “JA_Travel J25 quickstart” + SAMPLE DATAS + my Apps. Then migrate the old J15 to this J25.
I hope it will be the right way to go.
I’ll post here my results.
Thank you,
-Charles

OK, I found the main reason of the problem.
After migrating menu types and menu items, mainmenu is saved with new alias, breaking the menu system.
There are also a few problems with some JA_mods and JA_plgs.
Going to make a clean install again, migration and fixes.
Then will post here more info.
