Importing
I've gotten to the Import Data section as described on page 37 in the manual. There's a screenshot on page 38 of what it should look like, but mine doesn't match.

The manual tells me that there should be a section called "Fields to Import" containing 2 list boxes which are necessary for specifying the order of the data I am about to import.

That area is missing from my screen. Can you tell me what the problem is? Thanks.

Okay, I think I almost understand now - but I must have something wrong. I tried putting in a little test link to import, I put it in like this:

Category ID|Category Name|Title|URL|LinkOwner|Description
15|Manufacturers|Test|http://www.test.com|admin|This is a test link

I then got this message:

Unable to find Category ID column in header!


As you can see, I put Category ID in there, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Please help

Try Category.ID in the header row. (I don't think you need both ID & Category Name, 1 will work, but that header would be Category.Name)

The text on the page suggests that I need them both:

You must also include the Category ID and Category Name of the category the link will be imported to.


I tried Category.ID - but it doesn't work. Any other suggestions?

Did you change Category Name to Category.Name??

I just tried your test on my database and it works using Category.ID alone.
