I was thinking about my license issue and things are more clear to me now:
Firstly I think the "License" type in the script is not intended to differenciate between "Commercial" and "Editorial" photos. Rather it's there to differentiate "Standard" from "Extended" use.
In the past (in v10.04) I had created what the administration page calls "license types" to differenciate between Editorial and Commercial photos. And to sell Extended Rights photos, I had added "Photo Sizes" with higher prices.
Now basically I'm looking for a solution so the photos that had the Editorial license type in my old site will be marked as Editorial in my new v12.10 site.
If this is not feasible I would like at least to be able to quickly locate the Editorial photos in my old site so I can mark them one by one in the new site. Unfortunately there is no search feature in the frontend and performing a search in the backend (Admin>Catalog>Search button) doesn't work: I'm filling the license field with "editorial" and the script returns all the photos of the catalog.
Could someone help me with this?
Now I think this would be helpfull to some of you:
There is a bit of confusion when it comes to license types. We already discussed this in this topic:
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=141Here is a reminder that may help beginners:
AFAIK there are 3 different things that many of us call "License" and this is the reason why things are a bit confused:
1. a photo (this applies to sounds or movies of course) can be sold as "Royalty-Free" (you pay a flat price and then print it as you wish) or "Rights Managed" (you pay a price depending on how many prints you'll make, what size you'll print it,...)
2. a Royalty-Free photo can be sold as "for Standard use" or "for Extendend use". Standard and Extended right vary depending on the vendor but basically "Extended" means more usage allowed (more prints, multiseat,...)
3. a photo can be sold as "For Editorial Use" (only to illustrate a text in a newspaper, an article in a blog,...) or "For Commercial use" (almost any usage)
Whatever you call those 3 things (licence, rights or whatever) you must not mix them and have separate fields in your database.
