Would you be able to send a database dump to me by uploading it to something like Dropbox and sending the link via http://mondaybynoon.com/contact?
Hi there, would you mind passing along the parameters you’re using to register your CPT? It looks like it’s private or otherwise not getting flagged with my legacy data check hence the lack of notification to migrate any data. If you’re able to make it public, run the migration, and then set it back that should resolve the issue for you but I’d also like to make the migration script take this use case into account if possible so if you can let me know what the parameters are that should help with that.
Jonathan, Thanks for looking at this, below is the info you requested, though appears the CPT was already pubic.
function create_sf_projects_post_type() {
register_post_type( 'sf_projects',
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => _x('Projects', 'post type general name'),
'singular_name' => _x('Project', 'post type singular name'),
'add_new' => _x('Add New', 'project'),
'add_new_item' => __('Add New Project'),
'edit_item' => __('Edit Project'),
'new_item' => __('New Project'),
'view_item' => __('View Project'),
'search_items' => __('Search Projects'),
'not_found' => __('No projects found'),
'not_found_in_trash' => __('No projects found in Trash'),
'parent_item_colon' => '',
'menu_name' => 'Projects'
),
'menu_position' => 4,
'public' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug'=>'projects'),
'hierarchical' => false,
'query_var' => true,
'supports' => array( 'title', 'thumbnail','editor','page-attributes','revisions'),
)
);
}
Can I ask which action you hooked into to fire create_sf_projects_post_type()?
Sure… It was init:
add_action( 'init', 'create_sf_projects_post_type' );
Hi there, I’ve figured out what has triggered the issue, but it does leave a question I’ve got. To complete the migration process you’ll need to follow these steps:
- Add
define( 'ATTACHMENTS_LEGACY', true ); to your wp-config.php
- View Settings – Attachments in your WordPress admin
- Make sure your Projects CPT is checked (http://d.pr/i/Hucc) and save your settings
- Remove
define( 'ATTACHMENTS_LEGACY', true ); from your wp-config.php
- View Settings – Attachments in your WordPress admin
- You’ll now be able to migrate the legacy data (http://d.pr/i/eYqo)
To outline what’s happening: the legacy data check only checks which post types the old version of Attachments was set to work with. For some reason your CPT wasn’t enabled, so switching to the legacy version, enabling it, and then disabling the legacy version will trigger the change necessary for the legacy data check to return true.
Jonathan,
Thanks, that did do the trick… I appreciate you sticking with me and figuring this out… Not sure how that happened – wonder if I unintentionally unchecked the CPT.
Anyway thanks again… Love the plugin – they should build it right into WP.
Thrilled to hear it’s working out for you! Yeah I’m curious as to why the setting wasn’t enabled as well, but you’ve now left the legacy version in the dust and can enjoy version 3! You’re very welcome for the assistance, glad to help. If you’ve got a spare few minutes a Review would be much appreciated!
Jonathan, I’ve tried all these steps and still the Attachments instance only has the Attach button and none of the Legacy Attachments.
Attempts to fix:
1. Turn On Legacy option; Clicked CPT setting; Turn OFF Legacy but no option to migrate again (I already migrated data once)
2. Recreate Default ‘attachments’ instance within the functions.php file and add my CPT to the ‘post_types’ array.
Any ideas why I don’t see the images?
Please ensure that you are using the appropriate instance name in your theme template file. If you used the default field values when migrating the data, your instance name is attachments while the sample code in the docs likely uses my_attachments.
I think I did everything right.
Here is my call within my Template file:
$attachments = new Attachments( 'attachments' );
Here is my use of the “Default” instance within the functions.php:
// Attachments Plugin
function attachments( $attachments ) {
$args = array(
'label' => 'Attachments',
'post_type' => array( 'post', 'page', 'projects' ),
'filetype' => null,
'note' => 'Attach files here!',
'button_text' => __( 'Attach Files', 'attachments' ),
'modal_text' => __( 'Attach', 'attachments' ),
'fields' => array(
array(
'name' => 'title',
'type' => 'text',
'label' => __( 'Title', 'attachments' ),
),
array(
'name' => 'caption', // unique field name
'type' => 'textarea', // registered field type
'label' => __( 'Caption', 'attachments' ), // label to display
),
array(
'name' => 'copyright', // unique field name
'type' => 'text', // registered field type
'label' => __( 'Copyright', 'attachments' ), // label to display
),
),
);
$attachments->register( 'attachments', $args ); // unique instance name
}
add_action( 'attachments_register', 'attachments' );
Notice where I added the “projects” CPT. Does this look correct?
I’d love to have a look firsthand at your site if possible, and if you were able to send a database dump that’d be really helpful too.
Jonathan, thanks for your help. Here is a link to a page template: http://www.marczarefdesign.com/clients/aspca/
All the links under Portfolio Highlights use the same template.
I created a DB Dump. How should I send that to you?
If you can send me a Dropbox/Droplr/CloudApp/other link via http://mondaybynoon.com/contact/ that’d be best.
Thanks. Just sent a link.
