Hi,
I have a site that had to go live in two stages - the first stage had a competition and due to time constraints ( less than a day ) I opted to make a competitions entries channel that the users post the entires into, rather than a module and its own table which was my preferred solution.
however i am now wondering how i get the new information from staging ( which has new articles posted into new categories/channels ) from staging to live - because of the link between channel_titles and channel_data, the ID’s wouldnt match between staging and live ( eg the articles are id 100, but live currently has over 4000 entries in it. I cant drop the table and re-import staging because we need the comp entries.
Can I import everything but those tables using “drop table if exists” option in phpmyadmin, and then import those two tables with no ID field ? will this match channel_titles and channel_data ID’s ?
or is there another way of doing this ?
thanks for the advice
