Hi bricoleurs,

It's been a long while, hello everyone!

So, I'm working on a new bricolage system and I'm trying to import the
stories and media from a legacy system to bric (2.0)

I've got a script that creates an XML document with all my stories and
related media based on the old CMS db, and I'm getting close!

The error I'm stuck on is this:

Call to Bric::SOAP::Story->create failed:

Bric::SOAP::Media::list_ids: no category found matching (category => "",
site => "100")

I've combed through my XML, and there is nowhere I can see that a category
is missing or blank. Site id 100 is correct.

Any ideas?

best,
John Durkin

What does the XML from the old system look like (you can omit the content, just want the metadata elements at the top).

I produced the XML using a template based on XML produced by bric_soap story
export that I'd created after setting up my stories, relations, etc. I'm
using the slug to hold the legacy story_id for integration with their
current system....

and it worked! Looks like I just needed those fields (compression, size,
etc) to be there in the <elements> for the images - even if they were
blank.
