vbAdvanced vBGallery to Photopost Import Script

[Chuck S]

Import Instructions for vBGallery import.

1. Upload the two files to your photopost directory and CHMOD vbag.cnf.php to 777

2. Run the importer through your web browser and fill in all required info and paths for both programs

3. The importer will cycle through in steps each process.

4. After Import cleanup work needed.

a. In Admin => Edit Categories view the cats list and hit save. Scan down each parent in sortcats and hit save. This reinitializes the children count to show children of parent cats. Very Important

b. Under Scan Database recheck and build post number and check for children.

c. Make sure to set any usergroup and categories permissions you see fit.

d. Set your medium size threshold in Upload Options and under Scan Database rebuild your medium images.

Chuck, I tried the import, but I am getting the follwoing error mesage:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /myhomedirectory/public_html/photopost/vbag.php on line 340
Importing 1 Categories.... please wait

Are you using vbadvanced vbgallery?

Have you ensured your entering the right prefix. This importer is not for Phoptopost vbgallery to photopost we will release one of those shortly.

[gatorsfootball]

Yes, I am using PhotoPost VBGallery. Thanks for the heads up... I will wait until then. I wanted to see which gallery would be more suited for my site, so I installed PhotoPost to get a contrast between the two.

Thanks for the quick response.

I am getting the same errors as above and verified all is correct. Any idea why I am getting this error and what can I do to correct it? Thanks in advance.

[Chuck S]

which error are you referring to?

[lilsalmon]

I figured it out.. but now my problem is I imported everything from pp vbgalley int photopost 6 and they are no where to be found.... i tried to do the cleanup but none of the catagories are there. Help!

[Chuck S]

The script has been removed until we can see what the issue is.

[lilsalmon]

Chuck if you need access to my gallery let me know... I would really like to get this up and running.

[Chuck S]

I have access to one site already. The issue is the categories query is not inserting the info and I dont know why. Everything is correct so we are debugging it. I dont think it has anothing to do with the importer.

[lilsalmon]

Let me know what I need to do to get it running so I can switch over... thanks for your work on it.

I purchased the recent upgrade from Gallery to PPPro and I've been carefully watching these threads ever since, but something just hit me upside the head.

What is the file structure of PPPro? My current vBGallery photos reside in a subdirectory named /home/myusername/public_html/gallery/files .

The underlying tree structure is based on a user's user number so for example, all photos and thumbnails of user #7445 are in this folder: /home/myusername/public_html/gallery/files/7/4/4/5

Therefore all of that users photos are referenced as:
http : //www.mydomainname/gallery/files/7/4/4/5/hisphoto.jpg
(spaces inserted to keep this from linking and show it as a complete URL here)

The files directory has an .htaccess file set up to prevent outside theft of bandwidth from all subfolders.

Here's the kicker! Does the PhotoPostGallery to PhotoPostPro importer retain this file structure? If not, I would probably have thousands of dead hotlinks from my forums to the user's photos that appear in our threads.

That would be a non-starter and maybe would render me locked into vBGallery.

I need to upgrade. Software is useless if there is no import script. Where is the file?

[Chuck S]

It is linked in the initial post of this thread.

[TomC18]

Help......I can not find the link for the script in the original post.

[Chuck S]

When I get in the office tomorow I will find it and link it up I had removed it months ago to test and must have forgot to relink it.

[ozmazdaclub]
