I searched the docs and forums to see if anyone specifically addresses this issue...e.g., what if one already has a gallery loaded with pics (over 5,000 with captions, descriptions) and wants to migrate the to Phoca without getting a migraine headache.
I think the recent 2.0.0 release seems ready for primetime and other users commented, I don't wan't to deal with invasive bridges anymore. While I have seen discussions on features in other galleries that would be nice to have in Phoca, I (and I apologize if did) missed the part on how to migrate an existing gallery to Phoca.
Other galleries usually use import scripts created by the community (no, I'm not a coder). It's probably too early in the dev stage to have that ready, but if someone has successfully done it manually, I'd like to give it a try because (again) G2 (while feature rich) doesn't integrate with Joomla well and I want a robust native script. For anybody who has done it, I guess I need to know which fields get mapped to Phoca's database, which ones are discarded, etc.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
... the problem is, there is no time for developing Phoca Gallery nor for learning other projects and doing migration scripts
