Menalto2Piwigo Description Import

Hi,

First of all, great plugin! I'm a long time Menalto Gallery user and I'm slowly being forced to make the move as the Gallery script is not compatible with newer versions of PHP and MySQL.

I've created a testing environment and imported galleries using Menalto2Piwigo.

Take a look here (latest Piwigo version): http://www.ww2incolor.com/piwigo/

What I'd like to know is if I can also import descriptions and comments. I can live without importing the comments, but the photo descriptions are pretty crucial considering this is a WW2 site.

The Menalto2Piwigo script talks about the Extended Description plugin, but that seems to only be for the album descriptions.

I'd appreciate any help as I'd like to make Piwigo my new home for my website.

Re: Menalto2Piwigo Description Import

This is also a concern to me. I have a Gallery2 of over 6000 custom images that I imported, but no descriptions were brought over.

The description of the plugin does say it will import photo and album descriptions and comments, but that didn't happen. There were several undefined variable errors when I attempted to submit the form, so perhaps something was missing from the exstension installation?

Re: Menalto2Piwigo Description Import

I did finally end up getting the descriptions and comments in. I'm not sure what I did to do it, but it seems like the images you're importing have to exist in the original gallery2 folders and in the new Piwigo folders. If they're not, the import extension will think they're all new images instead of existing ones.

Hope that helps.

Maybe the description are imported but you dont see them.
Try this plugin http://piwigo.org/ext/extension_view.php?eid=175

Gallery2 had Title/Summary/Description while Piwigo only have Title/Description. Summary is imported to description, so you need a plugin that need to interpret an extra field.
