Well that took a while…
I finally got it so I could display 3 random fanlistings without totally messing up the rest of WP’s database stuff. This is all I had to do:
- Merge the entire fanlistings’ databases into the wordpress one, renaming all the tables.
- Re-install Enthusiast (I also decided to upgrade to 3.1)
- Re-add all owned listings
- Mess around with the tables so I wouldn’t have to manually add the 180+ joined listings…ugh
- Finally: re-activate the little snippet I added so I could randomly show 3 fanlistings from the database.
Crazy amount of work for what seemed to be something very simple. It’s all because wordpress is self-absorbed so it doesn’t want any other database coming into the picture. I was so mad when I saw the database structure changed a little… Ugh. New categories were also added to TFL.org so I just used the cats from the previous version of Enth I had. So yay it works now.
For good measure, I also pruned all the fanlistings that were dead or removed me from the list. That was a good 58 of them :P
(you can tell I had a realllyyy exciting day)
