[Slashcode-development] Some experiences in the migration to 2.0

[Alvaro d. C. <ac...@ba...>]

Hi!

I have spent some days to migrate our modified database to slash 2.0.
With the slash1toslash2 script all seems to be migrated well but in my
installation, Debian Potato, the version of MySQL 3.22.32 doesn't
support the MySQL command:

CREATE newstories SELECT * FROM stories

The solution is easy. Not destroy the table and use:

INSERT INTO newstories SELECT * FROM stories

I am playing now with the templates and its customization for sections.
It works quite well. It's fantastic to change the feel of a section
creating a template for it. I have created index;index;gnome for example
and it controls now the HTML rendering of the index for this section.
But there is a problem. The template-tool doesn't work right. When you
use: template-tool -s index;index;gnome it updates the
index;index;default !!! :-(

The solution for now is to save another time index;index;default. This
time template-tool creates a new template for it :-)

I have no time now to do the bug report and publish a patch. Maybe
tomorrow when I continue the great playing.

Have a good weekend ;-)
