What do you mean by "import"? For a new install, you need to create each category, one at a time, using the admin panel. You then need to add each link, one at a time.

You probably use LinksSQL! Do a search here for dmoz, you will find threads about bulk-loading.

I got the category creator from UltraNerds but how do import the links?
Can I import them directly into MYSql?

Hi,

Are you sure you're using Links 2.0? (flatfile), and not LinksSQL? Sounds like your using Multi_Categories. Data_Import would be your best bet for bringing custom data from a text file, directly into LinksSQL. If this is a LinksSQL question, please let me know.. and I'll move it to the appropriate category <G>

Cheers

My mistake, I post this question in the wrong forum. I should have posted it in the LinksSql forum
