Does anyone know where I can find instructions on upgrading from Links 2.0 to Gossamer Links?

Thanks

Hi Troyid,
as far as I know. The import of one links 2.0 database is included, if you are buying glinks.

I'm mainly interested in the data. Is there any guides on doing this yourself?

Hi,

Database > Import/Export

From the select box, choose "Link 2"

Then, enter the path to your Links 2 admin panel, for example:

/home/ultranerds/gossamerlinks.com/cgi-bin/links2/admin

..and then click the button - and it should import for you Smile

I'm having a problem with the import. I get this error for all links.

Import error: WARNING: Unable to insert link `Gary Ertter' (SQL query: `INSERT INTO glinks_Links (ID, LinkOwner, isValidated, Add_Date, Mod_Date, Contact_Name, Contact_Email, Title, URL, Description, Hits, isNew, isPopular, Rating, Votes, DateAdded, Password, ICQ, WebCam URL) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)'): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'URL) VALUES ('1', 'GaryE@brundage.com', 'Yes', '1999-05-03', '1999-05-03', 'Gary' at line 1

Hi,

It looks like you have a field named:

Webcam URL

Try changing this to Webcam_URL, and it should import ok :)

Is there a quick way to change this without harming my installation of Links 2.0?

I have another question. The images expandplus.gif and unselected.gif in Category Browser are not being displayed. I checked the properties of them and the files exist in the folder where they should be, so I don't know what the problem is.
