Links "Category Import" with Subcategories
As a newbie, I'm not really looking forward to exposing my ignorance to such a wide audience, but what the hay...
We made use of the "Subcategory" technique whereby you add subcategories by inserting them into the Description field as hyperlinks. Now we are attempting to rebuild our entire category table by deleting the old one and inserting the new one. (Using our recently backed up version). (If you're wondering, its because we'd changed servers and the links weren't relative). Anyway....

I cant seem to get a proper import of this file and continually encounter the following error:

Rows imported: 61
Errors with the following rows:
16: Row count: 15 does not match header count:
etc, etc etc.

Any help available?

Hi there,

I don't quite understand the bit about using the description box for alternative categories. If yo8uo have installed the altcategory mod in links and are importing/upgrading to sql, there are various posts here and in the discussions forum about this.

Alternativly, if you are using Links SQL anyway, why didnt you use the altertnative category feature?

Mark,

He is referring to SUBCATEGORIES (like Yahoo!), not alternative categories. Wink
