Is it possible to move my data from my old Mambo site to the new eZ site?
I've many short articoles, listed in 6 categories.
About 9000 items.
Obviously I can't move them by cutting/copying.
I hope it's possible to move some field of the database...
Thanks

You have to create your own import script.
Have a look to this function from te ez API :

Hi

Theoretically this is possible of course, but I don't know about an existing solution for this. You will have to write some code, use the eZ Publish API to import the articles. Good luck!

You should take a look at this extension:
http://ez.no/developer/contribs/import_export/data_import

It will let you import from csv or xml files, or you can write your own database layer to import directly from the mambo database.
