migrating from 1.5 to 2.5: custom fields wont show

I had no problems migrating from a previous one (cyberbee.net/gallery) which has no custom fields (but cations imported fine). Now I can to combine a 2nd one to this which has many custom fields.

1. I imported once, no custom fields migrated. (yes, I checked importing custom fields and also had the "custom field" and and another plugin according to instructions.

2. I created a new album, and said overide the custom fields, added all the custom fields names, and saved that, import again, no fields.

3. I globally added the same custom fields to the whole gallery, import again...no fields.

running out of ideas. I may delete all the albums and then start with plants.bees.net/gallery which has many fields, then go back to bee images (cyberbee.net/gallery), but not sure if that would work either...

strangely, now if I type http://cyberbee.net/gallery2, it automatically forwards me to /gallery (the old one).
I thought the migration redirect was to redirect from gallery to gallery2, now it is the reverse!

Zach de BeeGuy

that is weird! because I never touched the directory. I did turn on the G1-->G2 rewrite, but I did not delete G1 contents, so the forwarding should not work anyway, now it is reversed...it was fine last night at home initially (when I was typing the message), then I noticed in my office machine it started forwarding first, but i did managed to upload some photos from home...then after that neither can access gallery2....if I delete the rules in the upgrade section, will my g1 still work?

nivekiam,

thanks for asking...here is the whole thing..(without copyrights etc).

<?php
/* Include bootstrap.inc in case config.php overrides GALLERY_MAIN_PHP */

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/bootstrap.inc');
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/modules/core/classes/GalleryUrlGenerator.class');
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/modules/core/classes/GalleryCoreApi.class');

/* The REQUEST_URI can either be /path/index.php or just /path/. Get rid of index.php.* */
$path = GalleryUrlGenerator::getCurrentRequestUri();
if (preg_match('|^(/(?:[^?#/]+/)*)(.*)|', $path, $matches)) {
$path = $matches[1] . GALLERY_MAIN_PHP;
if (!empty($matches[2]) && ($pos = strpos($matches[2], '?')) !== false) {
$path .= substr($matches[2], $pos);
}
}

$configBaseUri = @$gallery->getConfig('baseUri');

$urlGenerator = new GalleryUrlGenerator();
$urlGenerator->init(!empty($configBaseUri) ? $configBaseUri : null);

$phpVm = $gallery->getPhpVm();
$phpVm->header('Location: ' . $urlGenerator->makeUrl($path));
?>

sorry, I thought you were asking for index.php.

here it is: not sure why there is a # in front...that means the line was not executed?

#$gallery->setConfig('baseUri', 'http://www.cyberbee.net/gallery2/main.php');
?>

here you go -- thanks again for trying to help..

no .htaccess in the root (uplevel from gallery or gallery2). on my freebsd machine, firefox at least works for gallery2, so I could mess with it. but Konqueror (KDE brower) also forwards to gallery.

strangely, the forwarding did not start right away that day...there was some delay (and variable on different clients)...(which suggests DNS issue, but I cannot find any).

I also tried mapping it to something like g1.cyberbee.net and g2.cyberbee.net (bypassing the root and pointing directing to gallery subfolder). still the same...

Thanks. have to be at home to do that...all computers here in office redirect to gallery from gallery2...but I can get to install though...through /v/install

sorry, it was gallery2/install
I cleared both database and template cache...the other browser still redirects...it is so strange...

Gallery compiles template files and saves them for increased performance. If you're experiencing problems that say Smarty error then you might try running this task. Also run this if you add or remove any local/*.tpl or theme override so Smarty will find the right file.

Thank you very much for the offer! . well gallery2 is not working as I wanted anyway...so I am reinstalling and will wipe out the data. maybe will try not using rewrite rule next time...and install the one with custom fields first to see if it works (plants), then bees...

You have a total of 76 items you're importing....

Just turn the comment plugin off and spend the 15 seconds to do the import again.

o.k. Looking at the source code it looks like you were using some custom fields addon for G1 (I don't know if that was a standard option or not), but I doubt that the custom fields plugin for G2 knows how to read from that. So you'd probably have to re-enter that data in G2.

I reinstalled G2, and migrated again. used g1 to g2 redirect, removed the old photos...redirect wont work...strange. it is not a big deal, just strange that redirect wont work..
