Docman To Phoca Downlaod migrator converts Docman files and categories tables into Phocadownload tables. Since Docman uses Joomla's categories tables, you will also need them to do the migration.

What does D2P migrate?

• title, description, filename
• publication's date
• published (yes/no)
• categories
• ordering
• hits

What does not D2P migrate (yet)?

• users permissions
• access control

Further instructions for developers

Following tables shows which columns may be copied from Docman's to Phoca Download's tables. jml is Joomla's 2.5 defaut table prefix (you have to change it with your prefix!).

jml_docman	jml_phocadownlaod
cat_id (1)	cat_id (1)
dmname	title
dmdescription	description
dmdate_published	published_up
dmfilename	filename
published	published; approved
dmcounter	hits
access (2)	access (2)

Note:
(1) docman's cat_id refers to the table jml_categories; Phoca Download's cat_id refers to jml_phocadownload_categories.
(2) Docman default access (everyone) is represented as 0, Phoca Download default access as 1

As you may notice, Joomla's tables have different structure (it depends on Joomla's version).
