Hi,

1. Yes!

2. Install Links SQL, and go to Database->Import/Export->Import from Links 2.x. It will allow you to import your old links.db and categories.db files.

Cheers,

Alex

Yes.

In the Links SQL control panel you'd go to Database > Import/Export and follow instructions.

Its as simple as entering a file path.

I have a few mods on my Links2, would that have an effect on the import/export script when switching to LinkSQL?

Will the mods in L2 bug things up for LSQL or over look them?

Thanks in advance

Depends on what the mods are. If its just extra fields, then Links SQL takes care of that, and creates those for you in Links SQL. If they are hardcoded functions, the chances are they already exist in Links SQL, or it is a simple case of making a global Wink

Hi...I don't think any of those mods will be a problem....should be pretty easy to set them up. Someone else (at GT?) may want to confirm this before you make the purchase Smile

I am sorry, I ment these were the mods that I have already on L2. Would the export /import of LSQL have a problem importing the L2 files/links data into its program? due to these mods? And are these features already standard features of LSQL?

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, I knew that Smile

. There should be no problem with importing, but all of these features should be possible in LSQL (don't think any of them are setup by default, or actual 'features', but they can easily be made to work)....

I also have a Priority Mod on Links 2.0. Will Links SQL be able to import that as well?

Very easy. Just add a new column to your database, INT, yes/no, 1/0 (drop down)...then edit the ORDER that the links are sorted by, to contain your new priority field at the top of it. I'm literally just off to bed, so I'm afraid I can't go into any more details....its 11:30pm here,so I need some well deserved sleep Tongue
