I am trying the lite version out to see how things go after seeing that there is a photopost importer how ever after clicking on import gallery in the admincp the only thing picked up is vbalbums.

Is the importer only for Photopost vbgallery or Photopost Pro 8.5? We have 7 forums running photopost and looking for a replacement for the different sites.

I glanced through the files and in class_import.php see the only reference to a Photopost product is PhotoPost vBGallery

We are running Photopost Pro right now and by the looks of Photopost it looks to be dying quickly. Theres a notice up that no new orders are being accepted and no Chuck for support on the forums which are now getting spammed.

vbgallery seemed to be a side project but photopost pro was their main gallery. A lot of vb'ers started out using vbgallery but it was not kept up so most switched over to photopost pro.
 
If you PM me with an FTP and AdminCP account I can look into creating an imported from PP Pro, although I cannot guarantee when I'll have time to complete it, so please don't remove the accounts if you don't hear from me for a couple days :)
 
Sent info via pm. No problem with leaving the accounts on till as long as you need it.

Thanks for looking at this, pretty sure there are lots of us ex-photopost users out there looking for something to replace Photopost Pro.
 
Fillip H.,

I'm in the same situation as the original poster. I have 4 web sites running PhotoPost Pro (an old version from several years ago), and their other product: ReviewPost.

I'm strongly considering purchasing licenses for your Gallery and Reviews software packages, however, it's important for me to know that I can import my PhotoPost Pro and ReviewPost data into your software packages once installed.

Can you give me more information on any importers that you have worked on for these two products?

Thanks.
 
Hi Rob,

I have never heard of ReviewPost before, there are currently no importers from that product for DragonByte Reviews. If you PM me with your FTP, AdminCP and phpMyAdmin details, I may be able to figure out a way to create an importer.

I should warn you though, with the holidays coming up, I won't be able to look into this until the new year.
 
That's fine. I'm less concerned about ReviewPost right now and more concerned about PhotoPost Pro. Did you build an importer for PhotoPost Pro as per the request of the original poster of this thread?

Hi Rob,

There already is an importer, however depending on what version and what combination of PhotoPost Pro / PhotoPost vBGallery you were running, it sometimes cannot handle all the images correctly.

This appears to be a result of the fact that if you upgrade your PP version, or change between modifications, it does not standardise the storage so you end up with a mishmash of different storage methods that I cannot possibly predict. All I can do is inspect the failings and try to hack together whatever changes are needed.
