Script for migrating from Flutter V 1.1 and 1.0,1.2 and 1.3, and 1.4.5

Hi Folks.

Edgar wrote a script for migrating from the last version of flutter (v1.0 or v 1.1) to magic fields (v 1.1).

You can download the script from here:

http://gist.github.com/198537

or from here:

http://magicfields.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/migra.txt

How use it.

Just follow the next steps:

Download the script here you have a raw version.

Make a backup of your database (for any unexpected bug).

Unactive flutter

Put the script in your parent folder (where you has the wp-config.php and all these stuff)

Rename the script from migra.txt to migra.php

Enter to http://yoursite.tld/migra.php

And its all, this script change all reference from flutter to magic fields.

Change the name of your folder files_flutter to files_mf

Put the Magic fields plugin in your plugins folder.

In your admin area active Magic Fields.

And its done.

UPDATE:

for the version 1.2 of Magic Fields uses this script. http://gist.github.com/227581

UPDATE:

for the version 1.3 of Magic Fields uses this script. http://gist.github.com/284805

UPDATE:

for the version 1.4.5 of Magic Fields uses this script. http://gist.github.com/558207

Thanks! I’m about to try it. I’m glad you guys are developing this plugin – it’s a very valuable addition to wordpress!

Hmmm, having some trouble. Migra.php generated an error for me on line 44, so I escaped the quotes.

$wpdb->query(‘INSERT IGNORE INTO ‘.$wpdb->prefix.’mf_custom_field_types VALUES (14, \’Related Type\’, NULL, \’false\’, \’true\’, \’false\’)');

This seemed to fix it, but my old flutter field data seems to be missing in magic fields. Might be something I am doing – will continue to troubleshoot.

HI!
I’ve tried a whole lot of custom panel plugins and Magic Fields seems to work the best.
On an earlier site i did, i used the plugin More Fields.. i saw there was a script to migrate from Flutter. Any ideas how to migrate from More Fields?
any help would be appreciated!
heres to Magic Fields

Wow, not only is the migration script working, but updating from Flutter to Magic Fields fixed a huge problem I’ve been experiencing with TinyMCE. HTML and Visual editor modes have been active simultaneously in the interface and the usability has been unpredictable to say the least.

Now, it works fine. Clearly, it was a Flutter bug.

Now, I’m even happier. Great job guys. So where do I donate? Oh, on the sidebar up here. Cool!

Thanks again,

Seems something is wrong with your comments module, guys. The comment after Amy is my own.

Nice plugin, have been really frustrated with flutter for ages. The only problem now is the migration script though it switches the custom write panels is loses all the custom field data pulling through empty custom fields into each write panel
