If Your website runs on Joomla 1.5 and Virtuemart 1.1.9, it is not just the outdated software, but from the point of view of technical support. After all, these versions have not supported.
We present to Your attention a component for migration, which makes it almost impossible: he brings not only the content of Virtuemart, but the core of Joomla on the latest version of CMS. Heres how it works.
Install the latest version of Joomla and Virtuemart that the same server that the production site. Install VM Migrator component and configure database access and file path. Choose the content to transfer and click the "Migrate now". The system itself will copy and adapt all the data to work correctly on new versions. Some additional settings were not available in previous versions of Virtuemart, and You have to manually configure them.
Thats all! All data is transferred with the same ID numbers. This means that data integrity was maintained.
Although the component and assists in the migration, Your "old" website still continues to function and users can continue to register to shop, and You, understandably, dont want to close it until the new website is not fully ready. May still have some special components that You would like to move and keep.
No problem! Click launch migration again and the new data without losing will be transferred. When youre ready to launch the new site, temporarily disable the "old".
VM Migrator does not only migrates Virtuemart content, but also the whole Joomla site will also be copied. Whole – this means the category, materials, users, modules... all data will be migrated to the new kernel version.
