CGBlog- can't create new entry

[afrimax1]

Greetings:

I am running CMSMS 1.12 on Dreamhost (Linux, php5.4) and MYSQL 5.1.56. Also using CGBlog version 1.12.10.

I imported just over 1,000 articles from the client's previous CMS, including several custom fields (one graphic, two check boxes, one memo and the rest text fields). The import occurred without incident and the stories are displaying perfectly. We are also able to edit each story.

The problem is that when attempting to create a new blog entry, we get a blank page with this error:

Fatal error: Class 'Exceptin' not found in /home/xxx/xxx/modules/CGBlog/action.admin_addarticle.php on line 164

Even when I went to the file and changed the word 'Exceptin' to 'Exception', we get a drop down purple error message stating that there is a duplicate articleid number. Each time I hit 'submit' the unique ID increases (34, 35, 36, etc.), however, due to the previously entered articles, we have over 1,000 to go before being in the clear.

Worse than that, each time I hit 'submit' the error overwrites the article with the conflicting unique ID. So, we lost 57 articles (so far).

I tried filling out each extra field one by one and all together. Edits work perfectly.

Had the same problem when using CMSMS v1.11.11, so upgraded to try to get rid of the problem, but it was the same.

Thanks for any help!

The problem (other than the typo) Appears to be related to your 'import' procedure being incorrect, or incomplete. I would suggest you revisit that.

What would I be looking for? Anything in particular? Any way to correct or should we dump the import and start again? Any other hints?

Look at your value for id in table cms_module_cgblog_seq. I believe this should show the value of the id for the last blog inserted, so in your case it should be > 1000. If it's much lower, this could be causing your problem.

Worked like a charm!

The cms_module_cgblog_seq field was stuck at the bottom of the pecking order, so I moved it up to the number right after the existing blogid and now we are back in business.

Thank you!
