Updating joomla ran into an error...

Hey,

My friend / client and I are trying to fix a local business site that keeps getting compromised probably because it's been running an old version of Joomla. So we've setup a test site on a different domain to install the latest version of joomla, install the theme he made, and then copy paste the content back in so we're not bringing any of the old files or database in case there's anything of concern left behind...
We ran into an error and are trying to figure out how to fix it... I guess the theme needs some kind of update for the latest version of Joomla, but I haven't used Joomla much so I haven't been much help to him... so figured I'd ask here.
The temporary site is at this domain I just registered for something else:
www.buywebsitestoprofit.com
and the error code is this:
Fatal error: Call to a member function getMessageQueue() on a non-object in /home/buyweb/public_html/templates/vibestreettemplate/functions.php on line 11


Any Joomla experts around that can help shed some light on our next step?
Thanks!

    So we found this tutorial:
    Upgrading a Joomla 1.5 template to Joomla 2.5 - Joomla! Documentation

    tried to follow it to the T ended up with this:
    Failed loading XML file
    /home/buyweb/public_html/tmp/install_507fdbbd3dc42/atomic1/templateDetails.xml
    XML: Namespace prefix jdoc on include is not defined
    XML: Unescaped '<' not allowed in attributes values
    XML: attributes construct error
    XML: Couldn't find end of Start Tag div line 57
    XML: Namespace prefix jdoc on include is not defined
    XML: Namespace prefix jdoc on include is not defined
    XML: Namespace prefix jdoc on include is not defined
    XML: Entity 'copy' not defined
    XML: Opening and ending tag mismatch: positions line 32 and div
    XML: Opening and ending tag mismatch: extension line 3 and positions
    XML: Extra content at the end of the document
    JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find Joomla XML setup file

    I think we need to go through the index.php and keep the <positions> tags that were there and just add the names of the module positions.... o.O

      Replace: $mainframe->getMessageQueue();
      With: JFactory::getApplication()->getMessageQueue();
      will fix that error, but you are likely to get more using a 1.5 template in 2.5.

    Depending on your template, it may need to be totally rebuilt. I have had to do upgrades where I had to rebuild the entire template because of all of these errors. When you fix one, another one pops up. Its frustrating. Best thing to do is rebuilt the template.
