Hi,
I have to migrate from K2 to Joomla articles on a website. But I have a question about attachments. On this website, K2 items have quite a lot of attachments. I've seen several migration extensions, but none of them seems to support attachments migration. Is there any possibility to migrate attachments to a Joomla custom field (repeatable URL field for example)?
Best regards.

Hi,
I have the same problem and I'm currently trying a solution with Advanced Custom Fields from Tassos Marinos.
In the Pro version you can set up an upload field in which any number of files can be uploaded for download.
At the moment I'm trying several ways to migrate the downloads as efficiently as possible. This customer has over

Hi @GabyW,
Yes, Advanced Custom Fields Pro by Tassos Marinos (great plugin) is exactly what I intend to use. But problem is how to migrate these documents (which are not located in media manager but in medias/k2/attachments) to these fields. I'm looking for a solution too, but if you have any leads, it would be welcome.
Best regards.

I started to have a look few months ago, but in the end the project was postponed.
I'm not sure it's supporting attachments but it's widely support K2 for sure.
Also support extra

Hi Catherine,
my solution is now, all done at Joomla 3 before upgrade:
- Make a export-list of K2-items with attachments, 1 attachment in a row. I need the columns itemID and name of the attachment-file
- Install JA K2 Data Migration plugin and migrate all K2-items, categories and fields to Joomla article
- Install Advanced Custom Fields
- Create a Custom Field File-upload, you need the field-ID for the import-script
- Move the download-files from /media/k2/attachments to /media/acfupload
- Than I replaced in my K2-item-export-list the old item-ID to the new item-ID. (Excel, SVERWEIS) Attention: By importing the items they became a new
- With a little php-script I created a sql-file an than I imported the file with phpMyAdmin to __fields_values, backup before.
This way I imported more than 500 files in 170 items, and it worked.

If there is an easier way, please let me know.

Best regards,
Gabi
