Hi there, i just installed ojs 3.1, i need to transfer articles from the old site to new. I tried fullJournalTransfer and it seems not working. Tried native import export XML thing and cant upload to 3.1 coz XML thing is changed.

Any recommend would be nice for me.

Regards.

Hi @Riselia

Export/import feature from OJS 2.4 to 3.x is not available. There’s some differences between XML files generated in those versions.
What you could supposed to do is create a sandbox installation to upgrade your old site and use export feature in command line.

If you have expertise in command line, go to your server and run:
php tools/importExport.php NativeImportExportPlugin usage

This will show you all options to import and export, but first of all you need upgrade your database and files version to export.

You can read further about those tools here:

Import/Export Tools
===================

Import/export support is provided via plugins. These plugins can be accessed
over the web via the Journal Manager's "Import/Export Data" page, or via the
command line using the tools/importExport.php utility.

OJS 2.0.1 ships with two of these plugins: the "Articles & Issues XML Plugin",
which allows import and export of articles and issues, and the "Users XML
Plugin", which allows import and export of users.

Additional plugins may be installed simply by copying them into subdirectories
of the plugins/importexport directory; they will automatically be added to the
list of available plugins.

Each import/export plugin has a unique name, defined in its PHP source code, by
which it can be invoked using the command line tool. To get a list of all
plugins via the command line, execute the following:

	php tools/importExport.php list
