I'm surprised it doesn't return an error. mgd_get_XXX_by_name() functions
all expect the id of the parent object and a name. This is because topics
can have the same name as long as they don't have the same parent topic.
try something like:
<?php
$parent_id = 0;
$topic = mgd_get_topic_by_name($parent_id, $name);
$topic_id = $topic->id;
?>
this way you would get root-topics by their name. If the topic are not
root-topics, you would have to get the parent_id using guid methods, or a
recursive get_by_name from the top down, since you use a staging
environment. Hardcoding the id would break in propagation to the live
server.
