# 3rd Party Component Notes

If you have a component written by a third party developer then by default this migrator will not transfer their data. However the developer of your component may have created some migration plugins that you can install that will include the component in the migration system. There is a section of the Joomla! Extension Directory specifically for third party extension, transformation and load plugins.

JED Migrator ETL Plugins (new window) >>

## Installing extra plugins

You can install extra plugins by doing the following:

1. Upload all tablename.php files to the administrator/component/com_migrator/plugins folder on your Joomla! install
2. Upload all componentname.sql files to the administrator/component/com_migrator/tables folder on your Joomla! install

At this point when you run the migration script the third party component's data should also be exported.
