I have to check this, mainly if it doesn't break other things.

Here is my experience after second import from Menalto gallery 2:
- Confirm that using html_entity_decode is safe and helps import html tags in titles and descriptions!
- First attempted to use menalto2piwigo module from Github, but it was a disaster - many thumbnails in subalbums become same! Then returned to code from menalto2piwigo_2.7.b, and obtained errors reported in this topic (related to parent id). Then I made simple check for parent id:
    if ($parentId <> '') {
after line 162, closing 'if' statement where foreach cycle ends.

This resolved errors and import was successful!

Hope this can help improving module.

Re: FAQ? Migrating from gallery 2 to piwigo

My hints about migration from G2:

1. I had to disable Exif View module because theese errors:

~50x: Warning: Division by zero in /data/www/my_web/foto/plugins/exif_view/main.inc.php on line 258

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /data/www/my_web/foto/plugins/exif_view/main.inc.php:258) in /data/www/my_web/foto/include/page_header.php on line 101

2. For me must have setting: $conf['sync_chars_regex'] = '/^[a-zA-Z0-9-_.&, !]+$/';

Maybe better default?

3. Virtualize extension needs full permissions to /galleries/ too. What about checks on /admin.php?page=plugin-menalto2piwigo or some notes at least? (sorry for offtopic)

Generally it works very well. So thank you for your work, great photo gallery and all about that.

Re: FAQ? Migrating from gallery 2 to piwigo

I second expanding $conf['sync_chars_regex'] (or making it unnecessary).  As I recall from the documentation, $conf['sync_chars_regex'] is there to help with unusual characters in file names.  But, I can imagine that it makes it harder to use in countries that use non-Latin character sets (e.g. large parts of southeast Asia).

I guess that it could be made unnecessary by changing it to something all-inclusive like:  $conf['sync_chars_regex'] = '.'

How would it break piwigo to allow any character in a filename?

Re: FAQ? Migrating from gallery 2 to piwigo

I just wanted to say thank you for this great migration plugin!

I just completed moving my two large (14k and 16k items) Gallery 3 installations into a single Piwigo site and this plugin saved me a ton of work by migrating my names, descriptions, tags, etc. I still had some manual cleanup to do (merging duplicated tags from merging the two sites, updating URLs, etc.), but that's to be expected in any large migration/conversion project like this.

One thing I wanted to suggest: having the VideoJS plugin (or something else like it) installed allows the "synchronize" process to import movies (i.e., MP4 files) from G3 into PWG. However, the current version of the menalto2piwigo plugin ignores items with type 'movie' when it's copying across names, descriptions, comments, etc. I was able to correct this by including a "if ('movie' == $row['type'])" block in admin.php as a copy of the 'photo' one.

Re: FAQ? Migrating from gallery 2 to piwigo

I just released a new version 2.7.c (I should have released it earlier but I wanted to finish [Github] menalto2piwigo issue #7 but I didn't so let's release).

Did you only do that? Can you show the diff? (or fork + pull request on Github)

Hi wsloand,

It would break on some specific characters like ' (single quote, apostrophe) but for other characters, I admit I didn't see problems on my tests.

Unfortunately I can't give you a nice diff since I did a real hatchet job on admin.php so I could re-run it only for my movies which were all missing their metadata from the initial load. I didn't want to risk more duplicate tags or messing up what the plugin had already done.

But yes, basically I just added this block, inserted in your if logic around line 444, to match what you do for photos, except for the movie items (I didn't bother with hits, ratings, etc. since I didn't use those in G3):

Code:

      elseif ('movie' == $row['type'])
      {
        $image_id = substr($piwigo_id, 1);
      
        $image_updates[] = array(
          'id' => $image_id,
          'name' => pwg_db_real_escape_string($row['title']),
          'comment' => pwg_db_real_escape_string($row['description']),
          'date_available' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $row['created']),
          );

        // build a map from menalto ids to piwigo image ids
        $iid[ $row['id'] ] = $image_id;
      }
    }

Re: FAQ? Migrating from gallery 2 to piwigo

plg thx for updates. I have some questions about album sorting. In my old G2 i used Original date of album and all was sorted by this.

I read all of resolved - Manually editing database - trying to make album sort work properly. but still i don't know where the problem is. In my database all of categories have lastmodified time same like migration time (2015...).

So my questions:

1. Is lastmodified category column used for album view, sorting or something like that?

2. Sorting in global configuration menu is for photos only or albums too?

3. Is there a way to import original galleries dates and/or sorting album by this?

Thx.

Re: FAQ? Migrating from gallery 2 to piwigo

And my answers:

1. Is lastmodified category column used for album view, sorting or something like that?

NO

2. Sorting in global configuration menu is for photos only or albums too?

FOR PHOTOS ONLY

3. Is there a way to import original galleries dates and/or sorting album by this?

HACK ONLY

About order imports from G2. G2 use  g2_ItemAttributesMap.g_orderWeight IF manual sort is used. This column is for photos and albums too.

Piwigo don't automatically sorts sub-albums (see BUG #3172), but it imports order of photos AND albums based on g_orderWeight, which is used ONLY for manual sorting.

So my hack to import my G2 order:

1. i wrote this PHP script which will touch (=change mtime and ctime) all directories/albums based on album date from G2 database

2. I rewrote PHP code in piwigo/admin/include/functions.php. With this code import from galleries dir respects directory mtime and imports albums based on this. Without that it is pretty random.

So after initial import of albums from dirs you have a good ordered albums.

3. I overwrite file piwigo/plugins/menalto2piwigo/admin.php and commented out every (four) lines with "rank". Piwigo use rank to order by. With this commented, you will have all other metadata from G2, but order stays like before.

A very simple patch.

P.S. some info and scripts download for czech speaking users which i working on

Re: FAQ? Migrating from gallery 2 to piwigo

Another ugly code to list all albums and their permissions. Because menalto2piwigo plugin don't migrate users, groups and permissions, you have to set them manually.

Got these errors at the Import Step. Any assistance on what to do next is greatly appreciated. Am excited to try out Piwigo. Am long-time Gallery user. Hopeful my archives can be ported over.

Re: FAQ? Migrating from gallery 2 to piwigo
