Acquire 1.0 Beta 2 available

[Philipp Esselbach]

The second beta of Acquire 1.0 is now available.

Acquire is an import module for the Contentteller content management system to import existing databases to the Contentteller platform. The import module imports users, news, comments, articles, knowledgebase entries, and files.

The databases from the following scripts can be imported:

• Storyteller CMS
• Pligg
• VirtuaNews
• WordPress

Installation
Upload the content of the "upload" directory to your /cadmin directory and then select in the admin section Modules => Install New Module => acquire => Submit. Now you can configure the module under Acquire => Acquire Preferences

The "redirection" directory contains redirection scripts to forward requests from your previous CMS installation to your new Contentteller installation. Do not upload these scripts unless you finished the migration to Contentteller.

Download
You find Acquire 1.0 Beta 2 in the attachment below

Just installed it and it doesn't show up in Main in control panel.

Solved.

[error]

If there was no comment in imported stories CT will not show comment form in imported stories. Allow comments is not checked. Is it possible to enable comments upon importing stories?

[Philipp Esselbach]

I will change this in the next version. To manually enabled the comment function for all your news stories, run the following SQL query in phpMyAdmin:

 UPDATE esselbach_ct_newsstories SET newsstory_allowcomments = '1';

If you use a table prefix you need to add it before the table name.

When importing news stories from virtuanews all other news posters except me are shown as:

Also what is purpose of: enter your local path to your teaser or logo images. Because news logos are not imported from virtuanews.

Is IPB integration enabled? The import script will try to get the user information from IPB.

You need to enter the local path to your news logos in this field. For example, ../images/news/logos

[error]

Yes, IPB integration is enabled.

I may found the problem. Please try the following change in classes/class_uwrapper_ipb2.php

Find:

PHP Code:

         $query = $uwrapper -> bbquery( "SELECT id FROM " . $uwrapper -> bbescape( $preferences[ 'website_uwrapper_prefix' ] ) . "members WHERE name = '" . $user_name . "'" ); 


and replace with:

PHP Code:

         $query = $uwrapper -> bbquery( "SELECT id FROM " . $uwrapper -> bbescape( $preferences[ 'website_uwrapper_prefix' ] ) . "members WHERE members_display_name = '" . $user_name . "'" ); 


Let me know if this fixes the problem

[error]

No, it doesn't fix it. I checked also virtuanews import script and couldn't find whats wrong or missing.

[Philipp Esselbach]

I found the problem. It seems that VirtuaNews keep also news admins in the IPB database. I will post tomorrow a patch.
