Hiya;
A few comments. We're dying for a really good DMOZ import routine, so here are my comments and needs!
The biggest problem with DMOZ imports, is wiping out existing data.
To make the import truly useful, when a record is found that already exists, the webmaster should be given the option of adding, editing and adding, or skipping. If it's skipped from import, it should ideally be added to a list of skipped sites. For a new import, the checking could be skipped totally, user selectable.
As I have DMOZ entries that were later re-edited and reviewed, we don't want to loose our new descriptions!
This way, we could run a monthly DMOZ ipdate with no worry of overwriting existing information or changes to existing DMOZ sites.
You could even set a database field, listing the date of the DMOZ import on the record.
I would have bought this long ago, but it's 2nd use will wipe out the 1st use, so it was not usable at all to keep up to date with DMOZ..
The other thing is that the plugin could not be set for multiple DMOZ categories to be brought into different, individually specified LINKS categories. Has this changed?
regards...
