Hi,

I'm new in using joomla and Virtuemart and i have one big problem. i have search on internet but nothing really good came out.
i want to connect virtuemart to another database which already have my  products and i want  that those products to be synchronise with virtuemart database .
i have see VMConnector but it is no longer support and other solution with CSV import that not good.
Is someone know how to do it?

Thanks

There is no simple solution to this problem - as your current database is 99% certain to be a different schema to what is required by VM then you need some unique coding to sync the two.
Normally done by running a script via CronJobs etc and/or an update between the two is triggered by certain changes in either
