Photopost Documentation -Upgrades/Migration - Page 2

When comparing the community.highend.com/photopost to the new forums.highend.com/photopost the images and comments are all attributed to different users than what they should be.

Doing a side by side comparison of any of the Galleries is showing this here.

For example the user "HES Community Admin" has become the user "ChrisF"

It is like this throughout the site.

Then this is attributed to you doing something extra that the steps we meantioned above about switching

You would have had to run an update usernames on photos and comments from the admin after your vb3 alignment instead of the first thing you do is run the import script meantioned. So basically what happened is you did the opposite of what was needed. Instead of changing userid's you changed usernames

I think I reversed this for you now.

Yes, looks much better now.

So I run the import.php script, then after that run the Scan Database to rebuild? Is that correct? How did you make the correction in case I end up there again?

Also what did you change to get the import.php script to run as it was not behaving for me at all. I'll have to do all this again for real on Monday so trying to make sure it will all work.

Thanks.

No you have no need to run a scan database for usernames

sblair · March 1st, 2006, 01:24 PM

How did you get the import.php script to run properly though?

This database will all get blasted away and we'll import the live one on Monday so I need to sort out the proper procedure here.

Chuck S · March 1st, 2006, 01:32 PM

Well remember I never ran import.php cause everything looked fine

Turns out you ran a scan database when the importer had not been ran so there was nothing for the importer to do

I had to write a special script to reverse what happened from you running the scan database thing.

sblair · March 1st, 2006, 01:48 PM

Okay...I'll stay away from the scan database button on Monday then. Might keep that script handy in case I manage to end up in the same state.

Thanks!

Chuck,

I blasted away my vB Test board and started with fresh imports of the UBB.Threads Data. To make life easy I kept the same Photopost install but pointed the config files to the new MySQL database name for vB. Nothing changed with the Photopost database or directories at all.

I tried running the import.php but it still won't run. What I'm seeing is that none of the User names show up at all in Photopost.

Thoughts?

If you changed nothing in Photopost you dont need to run the import.php all the users photos userids where already correct

sblair · March 2nd, 2006, 06:25 PM

I'm a bit concerned that the import.php never seems to run for me and I keep ending up in a state of broken comments.

Any ideas what I would need to do to correct this?

Chuck S · March 2nd, 2006, 08:00 PM

It all depends what your doing. I mean last time I found you had ran a scan database to update names instead of the userids so I had to change things.

What I am saying at this point if nothing has changed in Photopost and all you are doing is a fresh import into vbulletin you should not have to do anything to Photopost at all.

Chuck S · March 2nd, 2006, 08:02 PM

If you think you have an issue I would need to look at it.

sblair · March 6th, 2006, 11:38 PM

Chuck,

I'm in the middle of our live rollover from UBB to vB Photopost and have hit the same issues again. I've gone through the exact sequence for doing the migration step by step and ran into the same issues.

1. The import.php script doesn't run.

2. When looking at Member Galleries it doesn't display anything in the User column at all.

3. When viewing the comments on a photo, they are all attibuted to the wrong person as before.

Can you please take a look at it so we can get it sorted. This is the live rollover now so once it works I'll burn the admin passwords to Photopost so no one ever touches it again

The URL is http://forums.highend.com/photopost All the account info I PM'd you with last week should still be valid.

The forum db is vb_forums Photopost db is vb_photopost

Thanks.

You'll have to resend info as I don't have anything anymore.

sblair · March 7th, 2006, 10:53 AM

Chuck,

I have PM'd all the login info.

Thanks.
