Organic Groups Galleries (OG Galleries)
|
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
This module will not be maintained for Drupal 6.
|
| 4 |
Install this package to migrate an existing site
|
| 5 |
to use Views Gallery OG instead. OG Galleries
|
| 6 |
created galleries out of taxonomy terms, and
|
| 7 |
integrating taxonomy access into OG node access
|
| 8 |
has always been difficult. The new module creates
|
| 9 |
galleries that are nodes, and each of them
|
| 10 |
can be added to the right group in the same
|
| 11 |
way all other nodes are handled.
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The package contains nothing but the update script.
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
The update is not foolproof and will not work in all
|
| 16 |
cases but is a best effort at a migration path. Please
|
| 17 |
adhere exactly to the steps below or it will not
|
| 18 |
work at all. Be sure to make a database backup before
|
| 19 |
starting so you can go back to it if you run into
|
| 20 |
problems.
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
1) Upgrade from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6 before adding
|
| 23 |
the code for OG Galleries or Views Gallery to
|
| 24 |
your installation.
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
2) Make sure that all nodes that use imagefield are
|
| 27 |
completely updated and working correctly, the imagefield
|
| 28 |
upgrade can be problematic. You should be able to view
|
| 29 |
any node that you used in OG Galleries and see the
|
| 30 |
image and taxonomy terms before you make any attempt
|
| 31 |
to migrate to Views Gallery.
|
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
3) Once imagefield is successfully updated, install
|
| 34 |
Views Gallery and Views Gallery OG. That will create
|
| 35 |
the new content types you need in Views Gallery
|
| 36 |
(a content type called 'gallery' and a content type
|
| 37 |
called 'gallery_image').
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
4) Once Views Gallery has been installed, edit the
|
| 40 |
OG Galleries install file and change the following
|
| 41 |
line to identify the name of the image field you were
|
| 42 |
using in OG Galleries:
|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
"variable_set('og_galleries_old_image_field', 'field_image');"
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Change 'field_image' to the name of the current image
|
| 47 |
field. The migration will move the contents of that field
|
| 48 |
to the field that is used in Views Gallery, and will use
|
| 49 |
the value shown here as a way of identifying the right
|
| 50 |
field to move.
|
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
5) Now you are ready to migrate. Go to update.php
|
| 53 |
and run the '6000' update for OG Galleries. Open up
|
| 54 |
the fieldset on the update page to see the list of all
|
| 55 |
the modules that will be updated and make sure that that update
|
| 56 |
shows up. If it does not, find the place where it says
|
| 57 |
'og_galleries' and manually select update 6000 to run.
|
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
6) Submit the page to run the update. It will find all
|
| 60 |
the current galleries (which are taxonomy terms) and
|
| 61 |
create new Gallery nodes instead. Then it will find
|
| 62 |
all the nodes that use those terms and point them
|
| 63 |
to the right gallery node, migrate the image to the
|
| 64 |
new image field, and change the content type of the
|
| 65 |
node to be the new image content type.
|
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
7) If everything seems to be working well, you can
|
| 68 |
go ahead and disable and uninstall OG Galleries and
|
| 69 |
remove it from your system.
