Hi, am new to the forum, and also of virtuemart.
i use joomla for many years and now I'm working on the redesign of a website and I need to move the data from the site in
{ joomla (2.5.20) vm (2.6.6)} -- to--> { joomla (3.4.1) vm (3.0.7)}
you can tell me a good extension to make this type of work?
thanks a lot
do u mean move the data to an existing J3/VM3 site or migrate the J2.5/VM2.6 to J3/VM3?
The 2nd is (relatively simple) upgrades with all the normal warnings and provisos..
Hi and thanks to reply me, the first one I prefer.
that is by far the more difficult
I know you can just replace the VM DB tables and then run the tables updater in the vm tools - but do step by step
but first you have to get the Joomla users into it -- there are extensions for that
Think it would be far easier to do the 2nd
hi,
i sow some extensions that do this, I prefer use this method maybe it's more easy then replace the DB table.
can you advice me about the extensions you wrote me?
thanks a lot
no idea - I don't use this method - too many things to go wrong
would you be so kind as to tell me some links tips to do this you wrote?
"I know you can just replace the VM DB tables and then run the tables updater in the vm tools - but do step by step

thanks a lot
I'm sorry - but if u need links to how to do this - I really don't think you should be messing in the database....
why don't u just clone the old one- upgrade-- make it look like the J3 one u have?
@ballamart
I would suggest the following steps:
1. backup your site (with akeeba backup) and maybe also export your database with phpMyAdmin and download both to your local PC, so you have both available in case something goes wrong. It is a good idea to install a copy of your live site on your local PC using an xampp version which uses the same php version you have on your live site server: https://www.apachefriends.org/de/index.html and test the upgrade on your local PC first.
2. update Joomla 2.5.20 to the version 2.5.28
3. update VirtueMart to version 3.0.8 (it is still compatible with Joomla 2.5.x, but Joomla 3..4.1 is not compatible with VM 2.6.x.)
4. upgrade Joomla 2.5.28 to Joomla 3.4.1 using the steps described here: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=793171
hi jjk
I did exactly as you told me
Now I have everything updated
now I have to install the template I purchased, this is the problem, it has too much extension!
I have to upload them step by step
I hope to finish soon
thank you both

Sounds scaring. Be cautious! There are a few "feature ladden" templates which create a lot of problems.
Hi,
I use https://www.daycounts.com/shop/virtuemart-3/virtuemart-2-migrator.htm to migrate Virtuemart and Joomla! It's quite easy.
If you only want to migrate database and images, I can do it for you (PM me). But you will need a Joomla 3 Virtuemart 3 compatible template.
@stawebnice
I'm using that plugin, after install fullpackage template I try to migrate, this is the screenshot:
(http://www.risorsedigrafica.it/migrate-error.png)
now I've got just this:
Custom fields
Plugin vmcustom/customfieldsforall could not be found
Custom field customfieldsforall was created but you need to configure it manually
...
(http://www.risorsedigrafica.it/migrate-error-02.png)
how can I fix it?
thanks a lot
If you bought the migrator through extensions.virtuemart.net then you can ask for support from the developer by ticket - http://extensions.virtuemart.net/support-updates
If you bought it through Daycounts' website then support is by ticket at https://www.daycounts.com/support/new-ticket
@jenkinhill
hi, thanks i'll do.
Hi Ballamart,
yes,please use Daycounts support. I have migrated en eshop with custom fields from 3rd party plugin too (you use Breakdesigns.net Customfieldsforall),for some third party plugin they have addons, but not for custom fields, as I checked now.
I have migrated custom fields by Myext.eu and they also are not working now on VM3 even with the new version of Customfield plugin by them, so their support is solving it.
hi,
I have started to do step by step right
joomla 2.5.22 --> 2.5.28
Vm 2.6.6 -- 2.6.17
If i upgrade Vm to the 2.9.9 the custom field doesn't works enymore, so I sent a request of detail to the developers of Customfieldsforall plugin
For the rest of what you advise me to do?
step directly to the version of joomla 3.4.1 and VM 3.0.7?
Thanks
I still have a problem.
I'm using a flatastic template that is compatible with joomla 3.4.1 and VM 3.0.7 (installing by fullpackage with sample data)
I upgrade the plugins I need to migrate the custom field
I'm using a daycount migrate
I've got this error after migrate:
1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '47) and (`virtuemart_vendor_id` = "1" OR `shared`="1") AND published = "1" ORDER' at line 2 SQL=SELECT `virtuemart_currency_id`,`currency_symbol`,`currency_code_3`,CONCAT_WS(" ",`currency_name`) as currency_txt FROM `l4698_virtuemart_currencies` WHERE `virtuemart_currency_id` IN (,47) and (`virtuemart_vendor_id` = "1" OR `shared`="1") AND published = "1" ORDER BY `ordering`,`currency_name`
this error does not appear if I change template like beez3
:'(
Quotethis error does not appear if I change template like beez3
that's your answer then - it is in the template somewhere
the error BTW is the comma
WHERE `virtuemart_currency_id` IN (,47) and
has the template got a module that isn't displayed in Beez?
hello @GJC Web Design
Quotehas the template got a module that isn't displayed in Beez?
english is not my language are very sorry for this, you can give me an example?
I think the problem is not only the template but also the migration, I also riscontroato this error:
1146 Table 'full01.l4698_virtuemart_custom_plg_customsforall_values' doesn't exist SQL=SELECT * FROM `l4698_virtuemart_custom_plg_customsforall_values` WHERE virtuemart_custom_id=40 ORDER BY ordering ASC
the migration component made something wrong!
Have you ever used this migration tool?
how can it be the tables/migration when the error isn#t on Beez??????
something on your template is making a broken sql call -- I showed you the error
it isn't on Beez
yes I think so,
I have taken the way of the update of the joomla and VM version and not the data migration, because I've seen too many problems.
although I will continue a parallel project to understand how to fix errors about migration.
this is another error I've got:
Table 'full01.l4698_virtuemart_custom_plg_customsforall_values' doesn't exist SQL=SELECT * FROM `l4698_virtuemart_custom_plg_customsforall_values` WHERE virtuemart_custom_id=8 ORDER BY ordering ASC
and perhaps I understood what is due
well - it is self explanatory.. do u read the errors?
Table 'full01.l4698_virtuemart_custom_plg_customsforall_values' doesn't exist
so what does that suggest to you?
I've nothing but problems with one button upgrades from John last 2.5 to 3 involving virtuemart. Looks fine at first but then things start acting up, and I have to go back an do a migration anyway.
I'd recommend VM Updater by daycounts.com.
