I migrated more then 10 Jommla! 1.5 to 3.x using SP Upgrade and it is just a great tools.



Usually, I'm making the migrations locally with xampp or mamp pro, and install locally the old DB as well. That is the way it work the best for me.



The templates are also prepared for Joomla! 3 (templateDetails.xml) and put in /tmp, so it is easy the control, correct and install them.



I just had lately a tiny problem with Joomla! 3.3.1 and the support was fast and good.
I used it to upgrade my Joomla 1.5.x to 3.2. I had given up on another migration & conversion progrm. So it was a real relief to find one that worked and wasn't over my head.



I am very grateful for the professional support and the very fast reples I received.

What a Mess



Posted on 27 June 2014
All 5 star reviews? Hate to be a spanner in the works, but this extension is a mess.



Joomla 1.5 to 3.3.1. Only articles got migrated. No menus. No extensions (Phoca guestbook among other things). No template. Everything had to be done by hand later. Or with custom-built scripts.



What a mess.
Owner's reply: We are really sorry to see this review. We always support users because migration sometimes can be complicated.

To do that you must first contact us at:http://cyend.com/extensions/contact-us and we will be able to assist you to resolve any issue.
This product was a breeze to use and the support was fantastic. I'm not a Joomla pro - just an amateur working for a non-profit. Our site was all the way back on Joomla 1.5 and we had delayed upgrade way too long for lack of expertise. I tried using jUpgrade, but the product didn't work on our site and the support reply was essentially "sometimes it doesn't work."

SPUpgrade worked well right out of the box. In minutes, I was far enough along to be very encouraged. And when I hit my first roadblock - a quirk in my website that even the gurus at Joomla Forum had never seen - the support at SP Cyend worked w/ me until all was well. Well worth every penny and more!

Life saver!

I couldn't really be any happier with this extension! I was able to transfer hundreds of articles and even K2 content with a few clicks. Saved me what I thought might be a ton of hand work copying and pasting. You don't need to be a developer to use this extension, it's very easy. I even had an email exchange with the extension creator and he replied quickly, helping me because I had purchased the wrong one! If you're reading this review and trying to make a decision I'm telling you that you've found something that works, just get it!

Excellent!

I used it to upgrade my Joomla 1.5.x to 2.5.x and all its ok.



This tool works perfectly.



Very nice Support and very fast reply.
This is an excellent extension, which eventually was the only solution for upgrading from 2.5.x to 3.x due to issues with the old site. The support team gave excellent support when I needed it. I would recommend this extension to everyone that's need to migrate a Joomla site.

Excellent Tool

So far I usually rebuilt 1.5 sites, as they bwere usually quite small, but the latest upgrade was for a very large site. First tried Jupgradepro, which more or less managed to transfer everything, but the categorie structure was lost, so I decided to give SPupgrade a try. Very smooth upgrade, in just a few minutes!
