import or conversion script?
Alex,

Any basic import or conversion script?

It seems:

The Category import: "Father" equals the ID of the category that matches the level to the left of the last '/'

The Links are imported minus the CategoryID, and the Link.ID is then paired with the appropriate Category.ID in the

The CategoryID is paired with the ID from the Links table in the CatLinks table.

The real "Trick" seems to be the first part... importing the Categories properly, then matching the old Links.CategoryID to the new Category.ID and importing the link record.

Everything else should come from a reindex, it seems.
