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)
