Carolyn Preston:
Must have been the glass study doie thingie then. Love to Carmen and Felicity. I will write one of these days, honest I will.
Carolyn
Frank:
Thanks Carolyn, yes you did donate to Glass-study.org :)
Carmen is a lot better now and Felicity enjoying first week of summer holidays... despite the rain ::)
Carolyn Preston:
Well, bellow when the zoo is all better and I will join it as well. Going to a live zoo this afternoon.
Carolyn
Frank:
This is going to take longer than expected 8 days on the first of the three sites so far and only on step 5 of about 50 steps...
On top of which I will probably have to manually correct a lot of the descriptions as there seems to be no way to preserve accented characters, quotes, fractions and symbols :(
This happened with Scotlands Glass corrupting over 5,000 which I only finished doing recently. A problem that will not recur in the future as characters are stored properly by the databases now. But noit in these old databases. GMB had a similar problem in recent move.
Frank:
Further down the line... I got all off the data for one site successfully migrated. But have failed to get the software functional. Our Anne has been a great help.
It is also apparent that the same corruption of certain characters has occurred in the migration as happened to Scotland Glass with a similar version to version migration.
But this time round I have to go through two stages of migration (only one for Scotland's Glass) so I have decided to install the software for the latest version without data and reload the data the hard way. Well not too hard as I can copy text from old site versions to new. I will start doing this tomorrow with first site, glass catalogue, I will the do the glass zoo and finally glass-study.com which should be the easiest.
One problem with this is the users will need to request new passwords to be able to log in. I will contact all members directly. So lots of 15 hour days for the next 5 or 6 weeks!
Scotland's Glass 'should' migrate painlessly.
Running websites of such complexity can be difficult at times! :-\ The good news (for me) is that future upgrades are now a part of the software and will be mostly one click and done.
