Import VM to Hikashop manually.

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.1
-- Virtuemart version -- : 2.6.6

Hi,

hikashop's implemented import from VM to hikashop didn't work properly for me, so I've decided to do it manually. I've created two tables hikashop_vm_prod and hikashop_vm_cat and than I've published virtuemart redirect plugin.

Than I've changed the alias of the VM menu item to new one (main-old) and used the old VM alias (main) for new hikashop menu item.
So - old VM catalog url (parent category) was catalog/main and I've renamed it to catalog/main-old and than changed hikashop url to catalog/main.

Redirection works but URL after redirection looks like example.com/component/hikashop/product/... So - example.com/catalog/main/some_category/some_product (it's an old VM url) is now redirecting to example.com/component/hikashop/some_product.

What have I done wrong or what I had to add to make it work?
Maybe some menu module or content module is missing?
Was is the right decision to rename old VM alias or had I leave it as it was and chose new alias for hikashop?

In my case I want to redirect:
catalog/main/some-category/some_product to catalog/main/product/some_product
catalog/main/some-category to catalog/main/category/some_category

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

thank you.

Got it. So I'll do some redirections in .htaccess to change url from "example.com/component/hikashop/product/some_product" to "example.com/catalog/main/product/some_product", because otherwise my modules are not shown on left side.
