Acquire 1.0 Beta 2 available

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
   acquire_1_0_beta2.zip

What is exactly the problem? Do you get a blank page or will it no longer import the story/extended story fields?

Also, you didn't replaced [ IMG ]images/news/icons/source.gif[ /IMG ]. I am not sure whether this path is entirely right after I have no longer a VirtuaNews dump available. You find the proper path in your news stories.

Find in class_virtuanews.php:

                          $newsstories_dat['story_text'] = strip_tags($newsstoriesarray['mainnews']);                     

                          $newsstories_dat['story_extendedtext'] = strip_tags($newsstoriesarray['extendednews']);


and add something like:
                     $newsstories_dat['story_text'] = str_replace(" images/news/icons/source.gif", "", $newsstories_dat['story_text']);                          

                          $newsstories_dat['story_extendedtext'] = str_replace(" images/news/icons/source.gif", "", $newsstories_dat['story_extendedtext']);


You need to replace [ IMG ]images/news/icons/source.gif[ /IMG ] with the code/path of the icon you used in your news stories.

Still doesn't work properly. When importing news alot of news are asigned to me even another member posted news.

Can you give me a few examples (story id) where the news poster is wrongly assigned?

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.

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

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

Find:

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


and replace with:

          $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

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

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


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

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.

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?
