What are the characteristics of a structure?

posts: 20

Hello,

I have just completed a migration of 2 MediaWiki sites to TikiWiki. The migration went fine - but it seems that all of the migrated content has come in a individual structures. Now - even when I attempt to organize these structures into a structure tree- I do not get any breadcrumbs (possibly because there are not any basic pages in the structure?).

How can I roll these pages back to just ordinary pages and not structures? I do not see any user interface for this.

If there is a property or value in the database - I can roll them back en-masse via a query.

Thanks!

You can delete the structure at: tiki-admin_structures.php
And choose (if your user have enough pems) to delete the page from the structure definition, or also delete the page itself.

So if you delete the structure, but not the pages, then you would be as you are looking for.

However, keep in mind that even if you have all pages in a structure (if you have them as such, it depends on what you did), you can have several other structures with only some (or none) of the previous pages. I.e., a page can be in several structures, and also access out of the structure.

See the Documentation for more information.

And last, and very important, could you please document how did you do the migration from your MediaWiki to Tikiwki?

Many many users are willing to do that, and your documentation will help them a lot to get started (or get the job done in less time & effort that hey expect?)

Cheers, and welcome to Tikiwiki Community! wink

Hi Xavi,

Thanks for the quick reply. I will document how we migrated MediaWiki to TikiWiki. Here is my quandry - when I performed the migration - for some reason in my production environment - each imported page came in as a structure (1 page per structure) - Now - when I attempt to add all these "structures" to a tree - none of the breadcrumbs show up.

I'm having to individually delete each structure - once I do that - the breadcrumbs appear!

I will be doing this well into 2010 if I have to do each page manually - there are over 1000 imported pages!!! YIKES!

Can I delete all the structures en masse? I'm sure I can find out what the starting structure id was at the time of the import.

Thanks!

I was able to clean up the problem by deleting rows in tiki_structures. Probably not what we want to do - but I was able to clean up the 1200 odd structures that were created during the migration.
