XF 1.5 Photopost pro import

[Dakis]

I'm about to do a photopost pro import to my xfmg, which already has lots of content. I should still be able to retain id's , is that correct?

No. That will only work on empty galleries.

 

[Dakis]

Ouch.

Ok thanks Chris. I was hoping to use a script for redirects but not sure if it would work without retaining IDs.

Obviously you can't retain IDs if for example you have image 123 already in XFMG and also image 123 in Photopost.

Redirection scripts don't always require (and actually shouldn't) require needing to retain IDs.

XF maintains an import log which maps old content ID with new content ID. This log can be used for redirections.

After all, if you retain the content IDs you don't need any scripts for that at all - you can just do basic redirect rules.

Gotcha, thanks Chris. I will go ahead and hope not to make a mess

yes, except for this:

It's worth noting that, really, there's no real solution for these types of URLs:

We managed to get these URLs redirected as well. htaccess rules do not suffice.
