Hello I would like to ask how is it possible to migrate VM2 to VM3. I want to update my Joomla site from 2 to 3 and VM to be compatible. I found only that http://docs.virtuemart.net/tutorials/installation-migration-upgrade/198-upgrade-virtuemart-2-to-virtuemart-3.html please help I have many data on VM2 and I don't want to lose it.
There are some ways to achieve that. My pattern is mostly like this.
First attempt, update all Joomla components, install VirtueMart 3 via normal installer, install Joomla 3. If that fails:
Second attempt, use Daycounts Migrator and use a fresh J3/VM3 installation on the same server to transfer files and database with the migrator. If that fails:
Third attempt, compare the databases from first attempt or second attempt and export single db tables and import with the changed column names into VM 3 db.
Use a standard template like Protostar in the beginning, change to a new template only after everything else works.
This question is not answered in one answer here, I suggest the VirtueMart forum.
