    I’ve just run a v2 test update and linked data is not staying linked. Am i missing something or is this feature not supported yet?

    Can you say more? What addon are you updating, V what to what?

    I can give you a login too, but:

    gd_blogs -> links to -> gd_places
    gd_events -> links to -> gd_places

    But when I upgrade to v2, that connection is gone.

    1. It doesn’t set up the custom field to reflect how the linking works in v2
    2. If you add the custom field ‘Linked post: places’ the data doesn’t show
    3. The connections don’t exist in the geodir_cp_link_posts table

    Rather.. there is *some* data in geodir_cp_link_posts, but the linkedID doesn’t exist.

    I’ll flag this for kiran to look at on Monday, as far as i know the conversion was done and that should work.

    Thanks,

    Dang I was really hoping to get this done over the weekend. I’ll run a few more test upgrades and see if I can work out the pattern. Thanks!

    Curiouser and curiouser.. I just ran another migration and the geodir_cp_link_posts table doesn’t exist at all.

    I do wonder if it’s something to do with packages, and or the non-creation of the appropriate custom field to link them before populating the data.

    And neither category nor linked posts are saving.

    Hi

    That’s okay I’ll wait for the updated code. I’m happy to be a tester for you too if you want to send zips. Any idea of a timeline on this?

    If I export all and reimport all, is that a viable workaround?

    Hello,

    That’s okay I’ll wait for the updated code. I’m happy to be a tester for you too if you want to send zips. Any idea of a timeline on this?

    The script will run if you are going v1 to v2 conversion 1st time. For existing converted site i need to do it manually. That’s way i asked for FTP & DB credentials, so i can apply patch on your site.

    If I export all and reimport all, is that a viable workaround?

    Can you clarify what data you asking about export/reimport?

    That’s okay — I’ve only been running this on clone sites so far until it’s right — I didn’t want to take any risks with the data!

    With export > import I was thinking that perhaps it would handle the data more cleanly this rather than a direct upgrade; but ignore it, it was just a thought.
