What would be the best approach to import (older) articles from another joomla 2.5 installation and different database into a joomla installation with the gavickpro template without loosing any extensions which are already running.

1. Install Quickstart template and import the articles somehow via mysql/ a component? (Would be nice because all extensions are working perfectly)

2. Install only the template and install/customize all needed extensions on this installation individual (Possible but a lot of work i guess)

Is there any other simpler approach?

Thanks for help

The easiest way is use phpmyadmin and get articles via mysql query (older ones) and then insert to new Joomla, this is tutorial how to make it between Joomla 1.5 and 1.7 can be useful >>
