Transferring users from a VM1 website to a VM3 website

[jimleeder123]

Is there an extension for Upgrading from Joomla 1.5 to 2.5? And VM1 to VM3? Or is it really better to just make a new clean site? Only problem with that is it will take time and money for the client.

Yes, there is an extension as mentioned above:  http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=129154.msg444355#msg444355    Just add the cost of the component to your company's quote. It will be less than the cost of the time taken to build a new site.

We have bought a component for the migration. Hopefully it'll work!

Daycounts VM Migrator isn't working as it is not even installing. I've opened a ticket with them. In the meantime is there any other way? Preferably free?

Managed to install it. Took the site to work on WAMP locally, then put it back online and sorted the database.
