    Cool 🙂 thanks for the info. So, one group becomes one post.

    I have a stream that I’ve been sharing for about 2 years, and ideally would like to back-fill my website.

    I think I’ve solved the bug – I’ll send you a diff, because I’m a little worried it will have introduced something else (I’m not sure what the code I’ve touched was intended to do).

    Thanks for your help so far…

    Hi

    Thanks for continuing to help with this 🙂

    New images added to the photostream appear to be handled correctly.

    I’m doing this testing on a test server, so was able to roll-back the database and try again. I get the same behaviour.

    I’ve started digging into the source code, and hope to be able to find a fix, and enhance the plugin to use the image’s date for the posts. But I could use a couple of pointers.

    • What are groups referring to?
    • In, the function generate_posts_from_groups it appears to loop over groups, and create a post (or maybe multiple?) for each (by calling process_stream_group). However, the array images only ever has images appended to it (never any removed), and process_stream_group gets the caption from the first image in the array. Should the images array be getting initialised back to an empty array? Every time around the loop?

    Thanks!

    Yeah (Well, not sure about the title – is that the format they usually take?)

    Oscar & co is the name of the stream, and ‘Posing for a Passport Pic’ is the 3rd pic in the stream, of 189 in total

    I think I previously tried to use the plugin and got a bunch of duplicated entries. Maybe I should try ‘starting again’ – deactivate the plugin, clean out any trace in my database, and reactivate?

    What database tables should I remove to do that?

    Thanks!

    Could I ask, how did you set your site up to be an SVN repository? A link would be marvellous! I’ve been looking, but can’t find one yet!

    okay. I think i’m with it, now 😛 I’ll have a go at setting up a local install this evening and see how I get on.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    I’m referring mostly to layout/design.

    Is it best to backup content and design separately?

    Installing wordpress locally sounds like a good start. Thanks very much for the link! It refers to hosting from home. Is there much pain in sending my ‘home’ copy up to the webspace? i.e. will all the links break? and… will I have to manually upload the changed files, or upload everything, or is there something that will track the changes?
