Title: VM3 and Fetching Existing SQL Database
Post by: shasha on January 15, 2015, 23:55:05 PM
I have an existing SQL database(with all the products, customers, orders etc.)that's currently feeding and old PHP site.
Here is what I want to do:
I'm developing a new and fresh site Joomla 3.3 and VM 3 theme and I need this newly installed VM 3 to Fetch all the existing data from that SQL that's sitting on a local SQL server.
I know this is possible but kinda foggy as to how to go about it......can anyone assist?

does the data in the existing DB have any relationship to what VM needs?

otherwise you will need to write some sort of import script to get the data from there to the VM tables...
