Importing database data into Joomla

Question

How to import data from a database to Joomla CMS?

I have a database with lots of data I want to use in my new website. An ideal solution for me would be a Python/Perl/PHP API that would know how to do Joomla' basic routines:

1. adding/removing a section/category/material/menu/module;
2. changing properties of existing entities

Answer 1

You could try the following extensions:

1. Bulk Import
2. CSV Import

If that doesn't work for you, maybe take a look at the Joomla API
