XF 2.2 Photopost Import

[Collidingstar]

I finally got around to upgrading to XF2.

With Photopost now dead I ran the importer which I thought ran fine.

I did get a bunch of new Galleries.
Pictures all imported.

One thing I think I did wrong is I selected the Import Log instead I should have picked the Archived Import Log.

Some things like Member Galleries Don't seam to be there, at least when I am on my profile. I know I had images under my name/user ID.

Is there a way to backtrack the import? or anything at all? (besides a DB Restore)

The import log won't have any effect on the content or whether it is displayed.

Did the import complete successfully?
Were the counts for the content roughly what was expected?

It's possible that permissions or other issues are preventing the content from being displayed.

Browsing the media with a moderator account with the relevant privacy bypass permissions should show all content.

Only a full restore

check date display whatever its called......one thing i sort of hate about xenforo is how they got the indexing coded......its a complete joke to be honest idk how they walked away saying job done on that one.......but anyway....

anything past display date wont show.....i was told to improve speeds just hide all content less recent than 30 days or some such!
anyway...lol....thats how i learned it.....it wont just hide from main page etc, it buries them deep.

Everything imported so yes I do have the pictures.

But because of the import log I think all the names aren't linked to the User IDs in XF
So old pictures have just a name. No hyperlink to profile or anything like that.
New pictures do.

I was seeing if I could run just the scripts that fix this manually and point to the correct Log.

If the images were imported and exist then they should be linked to a member.

Can you post some URLs of imported content showing the problem?

You can manually enter the media ID like so to generate the page/URL: https://xenforo.com/community/media/1/

Examples.

Problem 1
https://www.binderplanet.com/forums/index.php?media/powdercoat5.33722/
It shows Added By "Bill USN-1" but this is just text, not a link to the actual user.

He is a user, still has the same Name. ID's didn't even change either
Photopost was originally setup with vb.. then I had it working with XF1.5 or whatever I was on.


This users profile is here
https://www.binderplanet.com/forums/index.php?members/bill-usn-1.1534/

But this image won't show up under his name since that part of the import didn't work.
I thought because I used the wrong Log, but maybe I did something else stupid.

A newer picture same user uploaded not part of the import, you can see his profile pic, his name is a link and this shows up under his media.

Problem 2
I know I had a few galleries on Photopost personally.
One of the original links (not working) would have been

http://www.binderplanet.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=625

But can't find these photos anywhere after the import.
Since they aren't associated with me as a user and not sure if these got imported at all since I can't even find them using the search.

Now my media is probably a combination of vb albums (I think that is what it was called.. Imported back when I did XF1.5)
New media posted since switching to XF
And now this imported media from Photopost.

I realize ID's for actual pictures wouldn't be the same since I had all sorts of sources.
But as long as they are associated with the users.. I have the original photopost photos in the old URL accessible location for any old links.

If you had already imported into XF1 why did you import again?
It should have just been an upgrade from XF1 to XF2.

Can you clarify exactly what the progression has been from VB + PP to XF2 + XFMG.

 

[Collidingstar]

So was vb + Photopost (plus vb albums or whatever it was called back then)

Moved over to XF1 Imported vb..and the vb albums
Got Photopost running with XF1 but left photopost alone except for integrating it with xf.

Just recently upgraded to XF2
at this point Photopost is a dead product and with the new Import for xf which I did.

 

[Collidingstar]

Haven't spent too much time on this has I have been busy.

But now I realized there are some dead links.
While most posts linked to the actual image in photopost, it didn't matter if PP worked or not.
But now I found ones that used the Watermark.php

https://www.binderplanet.com/photopost/watermark.php?file=14828&size=1

Now since I did import I think they are in the Media
But this URL

https://www.binderplanet.com/forums/index.php?media/14828/full

Is not the correct image because I already had images so the ID is now different.
And assuming is located in the Import log.

Sweet, I have PhotoPost with over 15k pics and over 15k comments I did not know what to do with.
