Do you have some advices for migrating an entire shop from joomla 1.5.26 site to 3.2 site? I tried export to csv and it didn't work. I haven't upgraded the hikashop to the last version on 1.5.26 site yet, but I will do it today. I think that it is more than csv, as I need setings, etc, too...

Hmmm, let me understand:

I upgrade (already did) at hikashop 2.2 on joomla 1.5.26 (by the way, nice done with the client e-mail, love it!)
I make a new installation of joomla3.2 let say, and I install hikashop 2.2.

At this moment all is blank in hikashop on joomla 3.2

Exported old database and migrated it with "migrateme" extension for joomla3.2

Now, I can migrate it directly in the site database, or transfer it with "sptransfer"extension. In both ways, I have no product in the ne site.

Now, you are saying that before importing I should delete hk_tables from joomla 3.2 database? Please let me know if I understood correctly. I haven't done it this way. Yet.

Thank you.

Definitely it worth working with you guys! I thought you are talking nonsense, but I tried and it worked IN THE MOST SIMPLE AND EASY WAY!.

First, I tried SP Upgrade, SPTransfer, MigrateMe. None of them worked, ( a note should be made: the MigrateMe team tried to help me very much though but...).

So here are the steps:

New joomla3.2 installation, with the same database prefix (example jos_).
Same hikashop installation both sides.
Then export hikashop tables from old database.
Deleting the hikashop tables from the new database.
Importing the hikashop tables from the old database in the new one.

And that is all. I hope, anyway, time to check now.

I heard enough bullshit like: you cant do it without ”xxx” extension. Maybe for other extensions it is the case. But there it is for hika shop, done in 2-3 minutes.

Thank you.
