Title: [Virtuemart 3.0] Import products from Virtuemart 1.1.2
Post by: robertosalemi on March 27, 2015, 15:19:06 PM
Hello everyone,
I need your support to solve a problem ...

I made an ecommerce with Virtuemart 3.0.62 (very recently), already configured and almost ready to go online.
These days the manager has partnered with a company that has an ecommerce made with Virtuemart 1.1.2 (no comment!).

I need to import from the latter (1.1.2) in my (3.0.6.2):
- Products (title, description, photos, weight, and perhaps some other field)
- Photos

Is there a plugin, a module, a tool or simply a SQL query to run this export and subsequent import?

Thank You.

I guess using csvi would be one way...

The best tool for this job is

http://extensions.virtuemart.net/import-export/virtuemart-migrator-detail

and it exactly migrates your old vm1 into your new joomla.

Quoteilbo, Virtuemart 1.x is installed on Joomla 1.5.x!

wont natter because as i understand it (never used it) http://extensions.virtuemart.net/import-export/virtuemart-migrator-detail installs on your new j3/vm3 and pulls the products from your old J1.5 DB

Yes, it is the best migrator for joomla itself,.. and VM of course.

It even migrates j1.0/vm1.0 installations, with some glitches. j1.5/vm1.1 combinations works usually very well with it. There are also additional plugins available for other components of joomla. It started as Virtuemart migrator, but really it turned out as the best migrator
