Jun 30, 2014Hello Brian!
I hope all is going well.
I’ve noticed that when Publisher is disabled and a new entry is created, it does not create a row in the publisher_data or the publisher_titles table. When Publisher is re-enabled, it properly defers to the channel_data table unless a draft of that entry is created. If a draft is created a row is created for the draft but not the live entry. Then, when trying to view the published entry it just pulls up blanks for what would be in channel_data or the published version in the publisher_data table.
It seems like similar things would occur if a channel is ignored. If I remember correctly, when a channel is ignored then no entries are made in the publisher_data table. So if that channel becomes un-ignored, then the same problem would occur for those guys.
At first I was thinking of adding some sort of database sync button (I have a lot of rows, so I’d need to do it in groups) but now I’m thinking just a check for a published version (add if not there) when a draft is saved might do the trick and not be too taxing… I think I can do this myself for now if it’s a good option.
Do you think that would be the best route? Any thoughts?

Try taking a look at the publisher_model.php->migrate_data() method. If you pass it an array of entry_ids it will copy data from the native tables to the publisher tables. You might be able to just call it with the $entry_ids and it could do what you’re wanting. Just backup your DB before you try anything like that.

Thanks! I made some modifications, and added some checks/call to entry_submission_ready.
Also, I included ‘delete_entries_start’ and ‘delete_entries_loop’ to the hooks that stay alive when Publisher is disabled. It seems like a good idea to delete the publisher stuff so things don’t get abandoned when an entry is deleted while Publisher is disabled.
Other than that, everything seems to be working properly!

Can you send a .diff file of what you changed? I’m curious.
