Upgrade and import.sql

[rboulle]

Hello,

Thanks a lot for this great program.
1/I upgraded from 1.4.8 to 1.5.2 succesfully but it seems that there is a problem with the stylesheet. It appears with "The five questions posted most recently" and "Top 10". You can have a look at http://rboulle.free.fr/jurisedu/faq/ for an idea of the problem.

2/ I wrote pieces of python scripts to do, from a LaTeX file, the convertions : LaTeX->XML->phpMyFAQ
That way i work straight on my LaTeX file (i can make PDF or PS) and from times to times i can stuff my FAQ. You can dl the scripts here : http://rboulle.free.fr/jurisedu/faq/src/
Please feel free to use them, modify them and send me comments or whatever !

The matter is that i can't anymore import files even with the one made (phymyfaq-data2005-10-01.sql) made by the system itself. I have the message "it doesn't seem to be a phpmyfaq backup"
Does anyone has got an idea ?
Thanks a lot.

sure... just look at the generated XHTML code. You have to add something for the both tables in main.tpl.

cool... I'll try to port that to PHP.

yes, you cannot import 1.4.x backups into 1.5.x because of database changes.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

cool... I'll try to port that to PHP.

Before starting to write those scripts I add to choose a language (I am a total newbie in programming)... In the end, I had to choose between python and PHP. PHP didn't seem to be able to parse xml files. But I don't know a lot of it. Do you think that PHP is more likely to do that kind of treatment easily ?

yes, you cannot import 1.4.x backups into 1.5.x because of database changes.

Yes I know, but the matter is that with 1.5.x, if I make first a backup (backup data) and then want to upload this same file (as a backup file), it doesn't work. I have a message saying that the *.sql file doesn't seem to be a phpmyfaq backup file.

It seems to be a problem similar to 1.4.x where we had to change a piece of code in backup.import.sql (or a name like this).

Hi,

I'll take a look at the import routine.
