Hi there.Just tried out your wonderfull plugin CFI.
I just need to export some articles from Joomla 3 and import them into Joomla 4. And it seems that it Works very nicely.
But I have 3 small issues.The export from J3 in csv goes greate but...
Issue 1) When I import the aricles into Joomla 4 selecting the category it does correcy import the Joomla articles but it does not places them in the selected category.Am I doing something wrong?
Issue 2) As we are here in spain, the spanish grammer uses a loto f accents. The title of the article is: “Adolescencia y Adopción” So after import is shows “Adolescencia y Adopci?n”Does this have to do with the conversión? Now it says: Code page for file conversión: CP1251. Maybe it should be set to something else?Issue
Issue 3) If I export from J3 more tan 100 aricles it could break the export? Or what do you think how many articles I can export in one time?Hoping you can help me with this
Many thanks in advance and Keep up the excellent work.
Cheers,Paco

Hello.

To begin with, it is worth mentioning that this plugin is not entirely suitable for migrating articles between different versions of Joomla, the purpose of the plugin is different, you do it at your own peril and risk.

Problem 1) Please note that the csv file indicates the category ID, not its name: if the category ID in Joomla 3 does not match the category ID in Joomla 4, the latter does not have a category with the specified ID, then the article will automatically fall into the Uncategorised category, category not created automatically, the category selection parameter affects only export - it does not affect import; otherwise the category with the specified ID will be assigned and this may not be correct behavior for you.

Problem 2) This plugin is a Russian development and was originally intended for the domestic market, where the code page is CP-1251, specify the code page of your language, or disable the conversion option (recommended if you only exchange between sites). If you need a conversion, but the required code page is not listed, let us know.

Problem 3) is actually not a problem, the number of articles is not limited, load problems can arise solely due to the limitations of your server.

Sincerely, thank you for using our product.

Dear Admin.
Many thanks for replying to my thread.
I have tried your wonderful product and I can conform it works for that I need.
Just moving aricles from J3 to J4.
Yes you are right. It can break my J4 site and it happend. But no worries as it runs on localhost.
Client has in J3 12 categories. Once articles are imported in J4 I just re-asign the articles to their correspondent categorie ;-)
So I can hereby confirm the following:
Problem 1) Is solved. Will do the import of the articles, than client will revise every article. Convert it into Yootheme format if he wishes and asigned it to the corresponding categorie
Problem 2) Found the correct code page and now the imported articles show correctly as here in spain they write with quite a lot of accents, é, á, í etc. So that part is resolved also ;-)
Problem 3)  In J3 I limit the export by category. So each category has only 30-40 articles. so that works fine as well,
So I want to thank you very much for making this wonderfull little CFI plugin.
And If you have time and are intrested to develop this furter I am more than willing to try out you later and new version as well.
And lastly I was wondering if you don´t mind me sharing your plugin with some friends here in Madrid.
Many thanks again you saved me so much time. 
Hoping to hear from you again.
Good weekend.
Regards,
Paco

    • After searching the house and finding nothing,
    • One day, a curious boy named Sam moved into the house with his family. As he explored the property, he noticed a rusty, old key lying under a bush. Sam picked it up, wondering what it might unlock. After searching the house and finding nothing, Sam decided to try the key on the garden gate. To his surprise, the key fit perfectly. With a turn of the key and a creak of the hinges, the gate slowly swung open. Inside the garden, Sam was greeted by a sight of wonder. The garden was overgrown but full of vibrant flowers, exotic plants, and a small, sparkling pond. In the middle of the garden stood a beautiful stone statue of a unicorn. As Sam explored further, he discovered a small plaque next to the statue. It read: "To whoever finds this garden, may you always find joy in the beauty of nature and the magic of discovery." Sam spent hours in the garden, exploring every corner and marveling at the hidden beauty. The garden seemed to have a magical quality that made Sam feel at peace and incredibly happy. From that day on, Sam made it a habit to visit the garden every day, taking care of it and sharing its beauty with his friends and family. The once-forgotten garden became a place of joy and wonder for everyone who visited. And so, Sam learned that sometimes, the greatest treasures are not just the secrets we uncover but the beauty and joy we find in them

    • One crisp autumn afternoon, while playing near the house, Emma noticed something shiny half-buried in the dirt. She dug it up and found an old, ornate key with intricate designs. Excited, she wondered what it might open. With the key clutched tightly in her hand, she approached the old house. The door creaked open with surprising ease, and Emma stepped inside. The interior was just as dusty as the outside, but it had an air of mystery. She wandered through the rooms, discovering old furniture and forgotten toys. Each room told a story of a family that had once lived there long ago. As she explored, Emma came upon a small, locked chest in the corner of one room. Her heart raced as she inserted the key into the lock. With a satisfying click, the chest opened to reveal a collection of old photographs, letters, and a beautiful, hand-carved wooden box. Inside the wooden box was a small locket. When Emma opened it, she saw a picture of a young girl who looked strikingly similar to herself. Beside the locket was a letter addressed to "The Finder of the Key." The letter explained that the house had belonged to a family who had to leave quickly many years ago, leaving behind their cherished belongings. The letter's writer was the young girl’s great-grandparent, and the locket was a family heirloom meant to be passed down. Emma's heart swelled with joy as she realized that she had discovered a piece of her own history. She decided to bring the locket and the other treasures to her parents. They were amazed and touched by the find, and they decided to restore the old house, making it a special place to remember their family’s history. From that day on, the house was no longer forgotten. It became a cherished part of the town, where Emma and her family would often visit, sharing stories of the past and making new memories. And so, the little girl with the curious heart had not only uncovered a hidden treasure but had also brought new life to a piece of history, all with a simple, forgotten key.
