Thanks that would have worked, I ended up having a folder permission issue with csv import, and that solved it for me, but your solution would have worked for me also. <br />

Hi There, <br />
I have successfully imported some products from a virtuemart shopping cart (version 1.1.4, joomla 1.5) to a new install of joomla 2.5 virtuemart 2.0.2.<br />
<br />
I did this using csv improved. <br />
<br />
My only issue is I cannot seem to get the image paths imported across or the product descriptions.<br />
<br />
So i was thinking I could get my hands dirty and do a direct import into the database.<br />
<br />
Can anyone help me do this?

Joomla is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) for publishing web content. It is built on a model–view–controller web application framework that can be used independently of the CMS. Written in PHP, Joomla uses object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques and software design patterns, stores data in a MySQL, MS SQL  or PostgreSQL database, and includes features such as page caching, RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, search, and support for language internationalization.

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

MySQL is an open source, relational database management system that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. Acquired by Oracle in 2009, it is frequently used in combination with PHP installations, powering most of the WordPress installations.
