Custom links from Joomla

    Hi,

    I have stupidly copy/pasted about 500 hyperlinks on my wordpress website from my Joomla website. The thing is, in the future the Joomla server wouldn’t exist anymore and I was thinking the hyperlinks are usual pdf links, so I could easily copy their links and also copy their directory to my wordpress server and everything is fine. But I was wrong! There are no direct links. Joomla was using a plugin called “doc_man” but I was able to find the files stored in the MySQL database.

    This is how one of the links look like: /downloads/download-document/58-icom-ic-f3162/ic-f4162-datenblatt

    Following interesting columns I could find in the MySQL table ‘jos_docman’:
    catid: 58
    dmname: ICOM IC-F3162/IC-F4162 DATENBLATT
    dmfilename: icom_ic-f3162_ic-f4162.pdf

    All pdf files are stored in the ftp directory ‘dmdownloads’.

    I will need to export the table ‘jos_docman’ now from phpMyAdmin and import it on my wordpress server. But the question is, how would I make WordPress understand it should get the data from the database for these links?

    Can anyone help?
