custom profile fields bugs or not..?

HI all

 i tested the migration scriot from 6.1 to RC2, all gone well, BUT, the custom fields does never appear in the user's profile until they log in, when they log into the site, the custom fields apear in the profile page, but not before...

Hello, we already started some changes in custom fields migration module
1. Transfer sys_pre_values
2. Transfer sys_profile_field

Ticket was added: http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/ticket/1536

Ok guys all your needed was done!

How is worked :

1. Module was compare the profiles.new table with profiles.old table.
2. All difference from profiles.old will create and transfer into profiles.new (in automatic mode, no need something of
manual mode )
3. All linked data from PreValues and ProfileFfields tables will transfered also

How to start this module without some of errors :
1. Make the fresh Dolphin 7 install
2. Install all necessary   modules
3. Install data migration module, transfer all profiles
4. Transfer all you needed custom fields (all worked in automatic mode!).

PS.
If you don't want transfer all custom fields, only some of them - you need open :
modules/boonex/data_migration/classes/BxDataMigrationProfilesCustomFields.php

find these array :

$this -> aFiltered = array(
'PrimPhoto', 'Picture',
);

and enter all you fields name that you don't want transfer!

for example :

$this -> aFiltered = array(

'PrimPhoto', 'Picture', 'MyUnnecessaryField',
);

IMPORTANT : Don't forget update this file from repository :
1. BxDataMigrationProfilesCustomFields.php

that's a great news.... 

  like i said, i already transfered all needed data (put the sql insert into the installation script inside v70.sql),

anyway, the problems is : these fields does not appear on the profile user's page until they log in 1 time, after that all is ok,

All data will appear in profile page, I promise :)

 yes i agree with you, but the user need to connect 1 time...i can send screenshot before and after... :)

The migration script didn't work for lots of people here.  Is there any ETA of when the next version will be out?  We don't have to wait till RC3 do we?

I'm sorry, I guess I didn't read this carefully enough to see that we were supposed to update a file from repository.  I uninstalled, and reinstalled the migration module, then replaced that file and ran it again.  Same thing - nothing.   It just hangs there and says "in process".   I looked again in the bx_data_migration_transfers files and there is nothing there.  Now what?  To try to make this work, I spent about three painstaking hours redefining every field in the new RC2 site.  Do I now need to delete this work?  On another thread, there were a bunch of people who couldn't get this to work - is it working for everyone else now?  I'm getting really sick of messing around with this thing.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to make it work?

Rob

Bump.  Does anyone have any ideas of what I can at least try?  I broke all the mods on my site to do the upgrade tp 6.1.6 in the hopes this would work.  A huge risk since nothing ever works the first time with Boonex (or the second, or the third ... ) but I didn't see any alternative.    Again, the data migration module (updated version) just hangs, and says "in process".    Does anyone here have any ideas?  I am stuck.

SashaE, this isn't really any of my concern, since I don't have a D6 site that needs migrating, by I am curious about one of the points in the instructions that you referenced..

RE: Step 6: Migration is a "cron job" thing,..



Just curious.... why IS migration a 'cron job thing'?  I don't understand.  If this has already been explained, just let me know where to find it.

Hello I also not understand what these mean :
Step 6: Migration is a "cron job" thing, so cron jobs have to be properly configured.
:)

I changed only this part :
NOTE 1: If you have custom profile fields, you can transfer them using the "Custom Fields" function in the "Data Migration from Dolphin 6.1.6" module of Dolphin 7.0. All the fields will be transferred automatically without any manual assistance.

I will ask about from our language master!

I always do a database backup when I first do an install, so I "restored" from this original backup file.   The means I have the original set of profile fields, and again I reinstalled all the mods, put in the patch files for the migration module, and ran it again.   Same thing: "in process" - but nothing gets transferred.   I'm not sure what they mean about the "chron" thing either - apparently no one does.  Of course you would set up the chron in your new site - that is part of the install process, so I don't know why they said that.  Someone on one of the threads said the chron should point to the original site - which made no sense to me, but I tried it anyway - no effect.   I'm trying to get Sasha to take a look at this (you are the programmer for this module - right Sasha?).

Am I the only one still stuck on this?   Any other ideas are welcome.

Rob

The migration process runs off your Cron Job. When you installed D7, you were present with 1 Cron Job you needed to setup. When you run the Migration Module, it uses the "Cron Job" to start the migration.

With that being said, if you do not have your Cron Job setup properly, your migration will never work. Hope this clears up the "Cron Job Thingy"  lol

Chris

Yes, of course I set up the chron when I installed D7.  I guess people are confused because they don't know why they said that.  Any other ideas?

Since cron jobs seem to be misconfigured alot lately, do your videos process OK when you load videos (not youtube)? This will ensure that it is definitely setup correctly.
