Re: [Jack] bulk copy/move links? In reply to
oh yes... i see now.. i was just clicking on the folder. you must think i am silly.

i see that there is a way to move/copy a single link, but the question was in regards to moving/copying links in bulk.

let me explain what we will be using links sql for.

essentially we are going to be adding about 2000 links to the database so i want as much of it to be automated as possible. the links are actually affiliate links from cj.com and other affiliate networks. the fields that would need to be entered for each entry are the following.

1. advertiser name
2. URL that contains the affiliate id and advertiser id.
3. Ranking -1 to 5 stars *
4 category
5 subcategory (maybe other sub cats)
6. keywords
7. title
8 description.

i have been looking at the plugins and have found a few that will be helpful. specifically the bulk category upload (i assume it does sub cats too, but do not remember.) the other one that i am interested in is the one that fetches the title, keywords, and description from the url. however, it only appears to do this 1 at a time. is there anyway, any plugin or modification that could accomplish this in bulk by providing a long list of urls?

i also just noticed that the link format in the demo is:
Code:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/links-sql2/jump.cgi?ID=58131
i do not believe this format will work with affiliate links because all that extra information will be passed on. it needs to be a format like this:

Code:

any information about how this can work for us is appreciated.
thanks
