Introduction

Automatic Articles, Authoring & Content, Data Import & Export, Mass Content, Content Construction

Have you built a Joomla site and now want to bring your old HTML pages into it, without spending hours copying each one over? HTML 2 Articles imports your HTML pages as Joomla articles in seconds per page.


New in version 5: HTML 2 Articles now runs natively on Joomla 5 and Joomla 6, with no Backward Compatibility plugin. Version 5.1.0 adds a dashboard, a new import log, a support screen, a drag-and-drop uploader and 17 languages. See the full changelog: https://www.php-web-design.com/Information/html-2-articles-changelog.html

Each HTML page becomes a new Joomla article, saved to your Article Manager in the category you choose. Your titles, meta tags, keywords, images and links are carried across as far as possible, and the content is converted to UTF-8. Imported pages take on your Joomla template and stylesheets. Queue hundreds of files at a time and let it run.

HTML 2 Articles is backed by a full guarantee and support. If you hit any problem during an import, email us and we'll help.

Features:

* Drag-and-drop upload, with hundreds of HTML files queued at a time
* Title, alias, keywords and description taken from each page's meta tags or content
* Choose the category, author, access level and publish status for imported articles
* Built-in engine to tidy, repair and W3C-validate your HTML, or strip all tags
* Images and documents imported from your old site automatically, and links updated
* All character sets supported, converted to UTF-8
* Dashboard and import log: see what imported, what failed and why, and export it as CSV
* Updates through the Joomla Update System
* 17 languages
Functionality
I'm not a developer, and HTML 2 Articles does so many things and I learned how to do them.
Ease of use
While it's important to read the documentation, I still found this easy to use, once I got the hang of it.
Support
It's been several months since I used this extension, and I think it took a day or two to receive a response, which was complete acceptable.
Documentation
Definitely read the documentation and if you're not a developer, do a test run (or two or three) before you start loading everything in.
Value for money
This saved me so many hours of work, it deserves 6 out of 5 stars. (I'm not prone to exaggeration, either.)
I used this to: transferring articles from a proprietary website software back into Joomla 5. And if I had to do it all over again, I'd buy this extension again.
Functionality
Great, simple to use and straight forward!
Ease of use
Yes, definitely
Support
The best ever support i can find. Very fast in solving the issue and very patient.
Documentation
No need, it is quite simple to use
Value for money
Worthy for such advance support !
I used this to: Copy 1000 articles on my old personal website
Functionality
Importing html pages directly into joomla articles.
Ease of use
Can't be easier, and is it ever fast!
Support
Support is fabulous, quick responses - I had an issue with it not working correctly the dev logged into the site & had a solution.
Documentation
On his web site, good enough.
Value for money
I think it's well worth the value, no easier way to convert existing html pages into Joomla.
I used this to: Importing over 1000 html pages that all had tables on them. This made short work of the import and conversion to joomla articles, so I could link the tables as related pages to the product pages.

EXCELLENT!

Ease of use
This tool has a well written documentation.
Support
Tthe support is awesome fast.
Documentation
This tool has a well written documentation.
Value for money
The price is fair!
I used this to: The Html2Articles is a must have for everyone.
It does exactly what it says it does, and the support is awesome fast, but you don't even need it since this tool has a well written documentation.
Thank you php-web-design.com for designing this tool.
Keep up the good work!
I needed a way of very quickly importing tabular HTML data into Joomla articles, with control over the resulting publishing status and category, and HTML 2 Articles proved to be the perfect solution. I did have a few teething problems with my config, but the level of support from Barnaby was probably the best I have ever had from a Joomla developer. He is clearly very proud of his work and quite rightly so. Top marks!
I have to give 5 stars for the software and support. At first, I tested it with the most consistent HTML pages with no images or links and oddly, it only saved about 20% of them.



I wondered I bought the wrong package, but I alerted the author who said he'd never seen anything quite like it. He surmised that software was moving too fast for my MySQL dB. He said he'd have a solution in 24 hrs. In 36 hrs it was all solved. He put a throttle on the import.



I'd give 6 stars if it can convert the imported links to joomla!

Ordered Wrong Extension



Posted on 27 November 2013
I didn't fully read the description and the software was not what I needed, nothing wrong mind you, I just didn't order the right stuff. I spoke with Barnaby and he refunded my money no questions asked. This guy is truly honorable, please buy from him with confidence.
This is an excellent extension for converting sites created in HTML into Joomla. If you have small or large sites which you want to convert to Joomla then this does practically everything. It may be necessary to clean up a few minor points after conversion, or perhaps you may need to tweak the parameters to suit the pages. I found that trialling a few pages before doing any extensive conversion is a good way of getting these parameters to an optimum configuration. And it is FAST!



I found a bug in the software a few days ago, and Barnaby sent me an updated version within a couple of days which resolved the problem. So support is great, and Barnaby is very helpful.



All in all, I am very pleased with this extension and have hundreds of pages to convert. With this it will be really easy.

This is the first time I've felt compelled to write a review of a Joomla extension. I researched high and low for a tool to help convert static sites to Joomla articles and this is the only fit I found. The only worry I had was that a review hadn't been posted recently so I was unsure whether it worked with Joomla 3.1. It does! Further when I mentioned to the developer I needed specific tags removed he added it to the script for me. Saved me days of work. at least. Excellent product. Excellent support. Very worthwhile investment.
I have a very large Joomla site that holds help articles. We have to convert 1000's of articles from our old Robohelp files and because we have so many articles, this is a huge undertaking. I found this component and it has been great. It does convert many files at a time... and it is fast. Although we have some cleanup, it eliminates much of the work. I was concerned it would crash the database if there was too much work based on this component but that has not happened. Fast, efficient, and it is worth the money!
