I am working on transferring a large archive into three efiction archives sharing one author table and one news table. It's installed fine, and I have begun entering stories as the admin for all of the authors, usng admin created accounts.
I'm not having any problem, except for occasionally forgetting to skip over the co-authors table. Except, I just attempted to enter my first multichaptered fic, and I can't figure out how. There isn't an admin option for adding a new chapter, and I'd imagine that would get bulky if there was, so I went to the story listing, clicked on the admin link to edit the story and then add new chapter. Except when I got there, my name was the only author's name available - not the author of the story.
I'm not sure what to do now.
It's a bug in the bridging functions. I'm going to have to look into a fix.
ETA: Manual fix for now. Open includes/storyform.php and replace line 98 with the following:
$authorquery = dbquery("SELECT "._PENNAMEFIELD." as penname, "._UIDFIELD." as uid FROM "._AUTHORTABLE." ORDER BY "._PENNAMEFIELD);
The first part will be the same "$authorquery = dbquery(...."
Actually, looking at the query, the problem may be on my end.
I am running a combined authors table for three archives, so ".$tableprefix."fanfiction_authors
should be
"SITEAPREFIXfanfiction_authors
everywhere on the site, right? I only made the changes in <a href="" https://efiction.org/forums/index.php?topic=3286.0">thi s" post</a>, I think.
I'll check the rest of the scripts and see if there are any other instances...
Nevermind, that's what the code you gave me does, refers back to the change I made in the _AUTHORTABLE variable... making the change now.
Thank you.
