Re: transfer over 1600 articles
And hopefully a last post for this thread.

Your site needs to have the sections, categories, etc. that you have in your new site, or you may need to be willing to change them.
I guess the etc did matter:)
The issue was that in the new db the override form was appearing empty and saving the article did not make any difference.
Thank you all for the very detailed advice!!!

Re: transfer over 1600 articles
Glad you got it all working, and thanks for detailing what other facing the same issue might face.
One possible take-out: Should Textpattern behave differently when it encounters an override form that doesn’t exist? By the sounds of Yiannis’ experiences, it outputs nothing, but maybe it should output the default and throw a warning??

Considering that I have re-saved those articles, the override form should have been overridden to ''. I also believe that an error should also be shown in the write tab, in the same way we have the duplicate url only title warning.

If we do it silently, you would likely even not notice the problem. Isn’t it what debug mode is for? And I’m still for exposing the debug info to logged-in users only.
I also believe that an error should also be shown in the write tab, in the same way we have the duplicate url only title warning.
Then we should check also for missing sections, categories and so on, which would be query-expensive.

Thanks Oleg…
Now that the merge is over, I probably will not need it but it’ll save a lot of headaches for others.
