Photopost vbGallery to Photopost Pro Import Script - Page 2

Yes as Kevin noted we addressed any issues that where open and we fixed those. I even added the ability if there is an original file stored we will import that and not the normal file.

I installed the importer and it worked like a charm. Thanks for your hard work.

I can't get this script to work.

I have entered everything verbatim correctly.

I get stuff like; Importing 1 Categories.... please wait
Importing 1 Photos .... Please wait

...........

However I have 20+ Categories and 2 gigs of images yet when it's all done nothing has transferred.

I know my paths are correct, I know my DB information is all correct, I double checked and re-entered everything by hand again.

I am trying to go from; vBadvanced Gallery v1.0.1 (vB 3.5) to Photopost 5.62

The only thing I can think of is I am not using localhost; I am using this format;

IP:PORT

I have a non-standard MySQL port.

Another issue maybe is vbag.cnf.php is blank after the end of the import when viewing it with PICO. Is that normal? I chmod 777 the file and I can see it's set to 777.

-rwxrwxrwx 1 backup users 0 Nov 25 20:15 vbag.cnf.php

Another problem is Server Path to Photopost Data Directory is set to 50 characters but my path is much longer than that. I had to edit the file to allow for longer paths.

Chuck S · November 26th, 2007, 08:41 AM

You can edit the actual vbag.php script and change maxlength="50" to something higher like 100 not a big deal there.

If you get importing 1 cat error more than likely your vbgallery table prefix is entered incorrectly. It should be entered as ppgal_ I beleive. Your database info is incorrect based on the error your posting.

jfspam2 · November 26th, 2007, 09:11 AM

I looked in the database and all the gallery tables start with adv_ which I put as my vBgallery prefix.

I know all my DB login details are correct. No doubt there.

I have adv_ as vB prefix and pp_ as Photopost prefix.

Chuck S · November 26th, 2007, 10:15 AM

correct your using the wrong import script. You need to use the one for vbadvanced vbgallery it would appear.

jfspam2 · November 26th, 2007, 12:39 PM

where would i obtain the import script to go from vbadvanced vbgallery to photopost?

This file is gone. He put removed for testing but I need to upgrade today. How do I upgrade with no import script?

Chuck S · December 14th, 2007, 04:07 PM

You should be able to use this script for vbadvanced vbgallery or Photopost vbgallery to Photopost just make sure to enter the correct vbgallery table prefix on the config.

EXAMPLE

The vbgallery categories table what is in front of that table that would be your table prefix. So you enter that in the config with the rest of the correct database info and should work fine.

jfspam2 · December 14th, 2007, 04:15 PM

It doesn't work.

As I stated

Quote:

I know all my DB login details are correct. No doubt there.

I have adv_ as vB prefix and pp_ as Photopost prefix.

So I know my DB variables are correct, I know my paths are correct and I'm using adv_ as my vB prefix and pp_ as my Photopost prefix.

Unless my prefixes are wrong which I don't think they are according to doing a DESC on the tables then it doesn't work. It will run through the script until the end but it doesn't actually import anything. It says importing 1 category even though there are 20+.

I use a non-standard port for MySQL. If that is not it and my prefixes are correct then I'm lost because I'm doing verbatim what it says and I know for a FACT that my DB variables and paths are correct.

Chuck S · December 14th, 2007, 04:26 PM

well it doesnt work does give us any information. It could be your non standard port I cant say. How did you get Photopost to work? What errors do you get?

jfspam2 · December 14th, 2007, 05:12 PM

I don't get any errors.

The script acts like it's fine but instead of doing anything it says stuff like;

Importing 1 Categories.... please wait
Importing 1 Photos .... Please wait

For Photopost I just put;

$host="IP:PORT";

That worked fine there.

Chuck S · December 14th, 2007, 05:14 PM

The error your noting is telling me something about your mysql settings is incorrect meaning it can not grab the data. You can email support@photopost.com with ftp login info and url and admin login to Photopost.
