Centralized User Data

With Wavelog Version 1.2 is now the feature "Userdata" default on for new installations. This means that following saved files have a new location in the folder structure:

  • Uploaded QSL cards are not longer stored in assets/qslcard -> New location is userdata/[user_id]/qsl_card

  • From eQSL downloaded eQSL cards are not longer stored in images/eqsl_card_images -> New location is userdata/[user_id]/eqsl_card

If you update from a previous Wavelog version to version 1.2 and the config option is not enabled this won't affect you! It only applies if you enable this feature or you do a fresh install.

Enabling centralized userdata

To enable this feature simply go to application/config/config.php and decomment

config['userdata'] = 'userdata'

If you can't find this option you may updated an existing installation. The check config.sample.php for reference and add this line to your config.php

Migrating data

For new installations:

You don't have to do anything. New files will be saved in the new folder structure automatically.

After updating an existing installation:

If you enabled the option in Version 1.1

  1. If you have other 'non-admin' users first enable the maintenance mode (wiki how to)
  2. Copy ALL files from userdata/qsl_card/... to assets/qslcard manually
  3. Delete userdata/qsl_card. You don't need it anymore as they are deprecated.
  4. Copy ALL files from userdata/eqsl_card/... to images/eqsl_card_images manually
  5. Delete userdata/eqsl_card. You don't need it anymore as they are deprecated.
  6. Make sure all folders are accessible by the webserver user (usually www-data)
  7. Go to 'Admin > Debug' and click on "Migrate data now"
  8. Now all files from the old folders will be scanned, sorted and copied to the new userdata folder
  9. Check manually if you can open qsl and eqsl cards in the Web UI. If everything seems right you can delete the folders assets/qslcard and images/eqsl_card_images

If you enabled the option now in version 1.2 or later 1. If you have other 'non-admin' users first enable the maintenance mode (wiki how to) 2. Perform only the steps 6-9 from the list above.
