Symptom:

80% of my Gallery 1 albums import OK into Gallery 2, but 20% of the Gallery 1 albums don't show up on the Gallery 2 import page (i.e. in the "Source:" multi select control), so I can't import them.

Any & all help much appreciated!

Kristian

BUMP: Any ideas what might cause this, or how to troubleshoot it?

Thanks again/Kristian

Maybe your gallery 1 data structures are not 100% intact.
I don't know the Gallery 1 integrity checks, thus I can't help you there a lot.

All G1 albums work OK, and "Validate Albums" and "Find orphans" don't find any issues.

I've attached 2 'buffered' debug output files: the missing albums are processed during the import, as shown in "debug_output.htm", and there are no error messages that I can find:

file_exists(C:\www\htdocs\albumsNew\wedberg-sixties\album.dat)
is_readable(C:\www\htdocs\albumsNew\wedberg-sixties\album.dat)
file(C:\www\htdocs\albumsNew\wedberg-sixties\album.dat, )

But neither the debug console nor the finished web page show the missing albums.

Since the missing albums are processed, but don't show up in the debug console or web page, does that indicate where the problem lies? Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this further?

Thanks!Kristian

SOLVED via work around:

A year later I upgraded PHP4 to PHP5, Apache 1.3 to Apache 2.2, Gallery 1 & 2 to the latest versions and tried again, and still got the exact same issue. Work around:

By moving the subset of G1 albums that didn't show up in the G2 import list to the top of the G1 hierarchy, I was able to import them too. Phew!
