bulk addition of links
Greetings,

I'm moving 200 or so links from a different very simple system over to Links2 - is there some way I can add them all at once? Adding each of the 200 individually is taking me forever!

many thanks in advance,

Kristen.

Depends upon how much you know and in what format you have the links. If you have them in a database format, you can just save that file as validate.db. You can then validate them from admin or you can save them as links.db and directly build it.

CAUTION: Even if you miss one field somewhere, your entire database will be screwed up. This will work well only if you have the format ready.

There is a mod in the resources section (BulkLoad I believe). This should let you add new links in bulk.

Thanks - that did the trick.



I also have another different question which I'm going to post here as when I attempt to start a new thread the text box is all messed up with the font/style images in a jumble over the top.. odd that.

Anyway my problem is on my what's <a href="http://13th-hour.net/logoflinks/New/">new</a> page. Some links have the category listed next to the title, and some simply don't. Why the discrepancy? How can I set it to always have the category listed next to the new link?
