Hi Everyone:
I just recently started testing Links 2.0. I was hoping to use it to create a product information/review
web site. After perusing the Links/Links SQL forums for a while, I've reached the determination that Links will probably not be able to handle the site, since as I've set it up so far, there are over 5,000 categories/subcategories (no links yet, just cats I anticipate somewhere in the vicinity of 18-20,000 products in the DB in addition to the cats!)
Because I was entering brand names, I needed the ability to include special characters, such as: %, #, &, ', etc; I found the special charcter modification and made the changes as indicated. It worked without a problem.
I ran the directory check and it found no errors. Since I have not input any links as of yet, I am not able to
test the build.
Now, I seem to have special characters in my category names...
My question is:
Will these special characters cause a problem in using the Links 2 to Links SQL conversion utility?
Also, is there a way to do batch uploads into Links SQL from either an Access DB, Excel Spreadsheet, or one of these exported to .txt?
TIA!
