ovation for my presentation so thank you good so now I have the proof yeah okay okay very good alright so again for those of you that don't know me my name is Justin heron I'm coming all the way from the northeast corner of the United States to present

here today when I'm not out fighting crime at night I work full-time at Manchester Community College it's a higher education College on in my hometown I work in the marketing department i get to manage the school's website do some photography stuff

all kinds of good things over there i'm also a developer for company called studios eep which is also in town over there in New Hampshire I'm the founding member and current manager of the local jug over there in New Hampshire as well I'm a big

fan of Metallica music I love to travel and really because of these great Jane be on events other joomla day events now I can say that I've traveled worldwide to speak at these great events so I thank you guys for joining me here today yeah all right so

migration migraines what exactly am I going to be talking about today well this is not going to be a how-to guide all right we've all done migrations I'm sure well actually let me ask you guys how many people in here have done a migration whether just

about everybody okay good very good okay so I'm not going to tell you guys how to do a migration right this is just a story and more particularly it's my story of a 18 month long migration that I had to go through for a website yes it took a long time

hence the title of a year and a half of the life of migration migraines right so some site background real quick this is a higher education website and if you can't put 22 together this is the website for the college that I work for okay so a little bit

background here we had joomla 1.5 running very proudly since about october two thousand ten i was hired on in the spring of that year and the first project was to get a actual CMS for the website come on in what we do yeah good morning so the website was relying

very heavily on CC kk2 we needed that power and back in 2010 if you guys remember k 2 offered things that the joomla core did not things such as subcategories right we had a lot of content to put into our website needed better structure in the in the organization

of the content subcategories was needed the other thing that was really needed was the extra fields and the true power of the cck right we needed that for our items in katy there now some of the other things the k2 offered that we did end up using things like

the tags the built-in comments the social sharing all that good stuff right the ratings for some of the news article items so it came in handy to have everything all together as one so when it came time to doing the actual migration we had roughly about 1200

k 2 items you know not that much but it's still a good number about 110 plus categories and subcategories all right lots of those we had about 50 plus tags being used all across the site two hundred and sixty plus menu items i was quite you know the good

number right yeah 110 plus modules going on in there so everything was great in joomla 1.5 land right until we all remember when we got that shocking news that 1.5 was coming to life right oh yeah okay yes that was some shocking news when we got the day right

but why was that happening well because finely 1.6 was here remember how long that took a long long time right okay but right so we did some early testing our least I did some really tough I'm sure all of you guys did some really testing you know we tested

the waters with some of the beta releases and the stable releases came around try things out some of us even got a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth with 1.6 I remember hearing some negative feedbacks on some backlash if you will and some people I'm

not included in this but some people even went as far as to saying 1.6 was like our windows vista right you guys remember that okay when I gave this presentation in the States I did this out of microsoft conference and yeah so they got a little bit of a lock

with that but it's okay so but we stuck with it because greatness was ahead right we were always constantly being reaffirmed stick with it keep pushing forward with it because eventually right 1.7 the next release was out we had a little bit more stable

release a little bit more secure for release right so now it's time to get serious it's time to get serious by developing a plan for this migration that is eventually going to happen right whether we like it or not it's going to happen so the first

thing I was able to do or the first thing that I chose to you was I went and looked at all the third-party extensions that I had installed on the 1.5 site to see which ones that we can now push forward with going forward because now the third party extension

developers maybe some of you guys in this room here had actually started to get on the bandwagon right they were starting to take notice of the 1.6 1.7 releases and updating their extensions for compatibility of future releases so I had to take a look at the
