Title: Export Categories and Products to another VirtueMart version.
Post by: MyDesigner on May 04, 2016, 23:11:18 PM
Hello, I have a site with Joomla 1.5 and Virtuemart.
I have to do a restyling but it's possible to export all categories and products to new site with Joomla 3.5 and VirtueMart 3.0.14 ?
What extension or procedure should I use ?
Thanks.

NO!!! You install it on J3.5.1/VM3.0.16 on the same server and grab data from your J1.5 - read the description!

if the products are simple (no complex attributes) just use the inbuilt VM3 ->from VM1.1 importer

I have used it on the majority of my migrations

hmmm.. just repeating your request over and over only serves to annoy people

as I have said

Quoteif the products are simple (no complex attributes) just use the inbuilt VM3 ->from VM1.1 importer

I really do not understand.  :-[

1) Export all data from VirtueMart 1.1.6 ... How ?

2) Import in VirtueMart 3 these data with an importer for VirtueMart 1.1 ... Internal importer ?

They are two differents sites, two differents hosting.

Help !

Thanks.

have u googled this?

move the vm1.1. images to the correct folders under VM3  .. normally images/stories/com_virtuemart


export all VM tables u want (products and cats) from the VM1.1  to a sql file and change the table prefixs to the J3 site
import all these tables to your J3 DB

Go to VM 3 admin-> tool->tools & migrate -> migration
choose general
click start migrate
choose products only

click start migrate

Your not being at all proactive here... there is plenty of info on here and elsewhere if you SEARCH!

Logically if u want VM users then first u have to get them into Joomla.. either by an extension or my cloning and migrating the J1.5 site

And I guess you will also want to copy the orders.......

Why not just copy both sites and install on localhost so you can play with data migration there?

and upgrade the vm1.1 to J3/VM3 .. which isn't anything like your initial question

Daycounts wrote this exactly for users like you. You can migrate even from j1.0/vm1.0. It is imho the best tool to update your VirtueMart/Joomla. It is the Protool for Nonpros. Really.
