Issue with Virtua News Import 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?
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: Code: UPDATE esselbach_ct_newsstories SET newsstory_allowcomments = '1'; If you use a table prefix you need to add it before the table name.
VN Issue When importing news stories from virtuanews all other news posters except me are shown as: Posted by: Unknown on: 09/02/2008 09:27 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ] 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
I may found the problem. Please try the following change in classes/class_uwrapper_ipb2.php Find: PHP: $query = $uwrapper -> bbquery( "SELECT id FROM " . $uwrapper -> bbescape( $preferences[ 'website_uwrapper_prefix' ] ) . "members WHERE name = '" . $user_name . "'" ); and replace with: PHP: $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
VN Issues No, it doesn't fix it. I checked also virtuanews import script and couldn't find whats wrong or missing.
I found the problem. It seems that VirtuaNews keep also news admins in the IPB database. I will post tomorrow a patch.
Here the patch. You need to upload adminacquirenewsstories.php and class_acquire_virtuanews.php to your /cadmin/acquire directory. Let me know if that fixed the problem.
It works partialy. Members names who posted story are wrong. Member ID = 58 Insted of Member ID = 33910
Ok. Now it show right user names, but at some (a lot) posts user name missing. Example: wrong Right Same poster, same day.
Still doesn't work properly. When importing news alot of news are asigned to me even another member posted news.
Is this still the latest version of Acquire to be used with the final version of ContentTeller? I will be importing from StoryTeller.
How to edit class virtuanews to not to import small icons with read more, download, news source at the end of news post. I want to just import Download:, News source:, Read more:, View etc, not small icons.
