Hello,

In the documentation under "Import" it shows a feature to import from Folders.

I do not see that option anywhere.

Is this a plugin?

This option is only available in the Business edition of HikaShop.

I will also ask my question here:

1) I am doing a new site using 1.7.3 for a customer and have purchased Hika Business

2) The Old site was built using Joomla 1.5.23 and also (not sure of the version) of Viruemart.

3) In the IMPORT it has the Import fom VM, but VM is and will not be installed on the new site.

4) I also see: Import products from folder

My question is? May I just download (not sure what I need) from the old site and then : Folder path

Or? Is it possible to use a complete URL to the old site?

Thanks in advance, Jim

If you want to import the products from VM, the best is either to import the VM tables from your old website to the new one and then do the VM import, or install HikaShop on the old website and import from VM and then export/import the hikashop tables form your old website to your new website.
For the images, you will have to copy them via FTP from your old website to your new website.
