Hi, I'm planning to upgrade from VM 2.6 to VM 3.0.18. can I Install Advanced Shipping rules 5.4 on VM 3.0.18 and than import shipping rules from Advanced Shipping rules 4.1?

Kind regards
Daniele

Dear Daniele,
There is no import mechanism available to automatically import all rules/rulesets from another installation, i.e. a migration is currently not implemented, if that is what you are planning to do.
On the other hand, if you simply update VM through Joomla (rather than installing from scratch and copying data over), then all rules should be preserved and you can simply also upgrade the shipping plugin (if required at all).

Best regards,
Reinhold

Thanks for your kind answer Reinhold, I need also to upgrade Joomla from 2.5.28 to 3.6.5, does this will affect in any way the Advanced Shipping rules currently on version. 4.1?

Kind regards
Daniele

Dear Daniele,
If you upgrade Joomla and VirtueMart in place, then the configuration should be preserved. As always, make sure you have backups to quickly restore your page in case something goes wrong during the upgrade process.
In particular, I had some Jomla 2.x sites that I wanted to upgrade to 3.x, which needed even some manual database repair, because some of the Joomla core plugins were removed (banners, etc.), but the upgrade process expected them to be present.

However, our plugin should work exactly the same in J2 and J3 (support for all Joomla versions is included in the same plugin version), and the configuration should be preserved.

Best regards,
Reinhold

Thanks for your kind answer Reinhold, I will take care of your advice!

Kind regards
Daniele

Problem solved.
