Secondly, this instruction doesn't explain the INITIAL process and VERSIONS supported.

Please don't hurry to answer these questions. I figured it out.

For others' benefit:
1) Yes.
2) Just install PP (same or different DB, doesn't matter), hook up to VB to share User system, unzip the import file and run VBAG.PHP, not the other one.

Not a problem glad to help out.

I just imported everything from vgallery, and it looks like everything moved, but all the images are saying no thumb. Do i need to move the file on the server? If so what is the best way?

Make sure in your config file for the import you placed the proper server paths to vbgallery files and photopost data directory and images will be imported.

you talking about the import?

I went ahead and copied the file over to the pro version, and they are showing now, but the pixels are visible.

If I deleted the file I copied, and re-run the import with it cofiged right it should bring them in right?

If all the information is correct on the import script things will be imported correctly.

I can't seem to get it so I am going to wipe it out and try again. I will let you know how it works out

Chuck S · February 18th, 2009, 01:23 PM

server paths are like this

/var/www/html/vbgallery/files

/var/www/html/photopost/data

Obviously you need to use your correct server paths to vbgallery files and photopost data directories to get files copied.

Ok i re-did everything, and i am still having this issue. I have also noticed that the few categories didn't transfer, and the users didn't transfer. It there anyway I can get you to look at this for me?

Chuck S · February 18th, 2009, 03:10 PM

Users dont transfer they come from vb so there is nothing to transfer.

You can post a link to your galleries sure and we can tell you what we think is wrong.

If files do not transfer its pretty specific in that your server paths your using are incorrect.

Main Index - My Photo Gallery

Just an fyi the vgallery is fairly new, there really isn't a lot to transfer. I think theres around 30 or so photos, maybe 5 members categories. As for the users I have that fixed. I now see 117 user so thats cool. I also have the themes working right.

Your import script shows you that it cant find the files

Warning: copy(/home2/eyedrea2/public_html/gallery/files/8/5/85-pm_003.jpg) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/eyedrea2/public_html/gallerypro/vbag.php on line 686

You have 213 files. Make sure in vbgallery admin your not using safe mode storage if so change it to normal storage and then run the import to grab the files.

Ok I think I have most of it. There is one thing I see right now and that is the members galleries aren't there. This is where 212 photos are, but you click on it and there isn't anything there. Any ideas?

Chuck S · February 19th, 2009, 10:13 AM

I beleive I posted an idea above? This has nothing to do with the import script or photopost pro.

I would have to look at your vbgallery but the issue is there. Why dont the files exist where they are suppose to. Thats why you cant import them. Thats why I asked you to make sure you where using the correct file storage implementation in the vbgallery admin maintenance. You did not respond.

Sorry about that. I did check and the storage safe mode was on. I backed up everything, and clicked and followed the steps to turn it off. Now all the photos have been moved, but there still is the issue with the members cats. You said that you would have to see the vgallery, Did you still need to?

Chuck S · February 19th, 2009, 08:55 PM

You have 181 photos in a personal album

All albums - Our Gallery

Everything transferred now that you changed that safe mode thing

Now as far as members galleries you might want to run the scan database tool in admin and rebuild members lastphoto field etc
