Bulkload 2.0
Hi, I need to do a bulk upload of links and categories, so Ive been reading on the forums about the mod Bulkload. But it looks as if its written for links, not links sql. Will it work for links.sql also? or is there a better way entirely? (ive heard something about using mysqlman,but as I am a newbie, id like to stay as far away from that as possible)

Thanks in advance

Try : admin.cgi?db=Links&do=editor_import_data_form

Or Mysqlman


Bulkload is definitely a links 2.0 thing

In your admin area:

Database -> Editor -> Links -> Properties -> Import Data
Database -> Editor -> Category -> Properties -> Import Data

Thanks, im having trouble with the syntax though. I have a tab delimited file with this syntax...

Code:
ID Name FatherID Description
2 Cat1 1 blahblahblah
3 Cat2 1 blahblahblah

where it says Use ?? as delimiter i put /t.

I get a plethora of errors though, such as
* 2: Row count: 1 does not match header count: (ID Name FatherID Description) (ID Name FatherID Description)4
* 3: Row count: 1 does not match header count: (101 Arts & Books 1 ) (ID Name FatherID Description)4

can anyone give me a quick post on the syntax of this thing?

/t should be \t
