alt category inf
Hello Guys

does anyone know where does links SQL V 1.13 stores the alt category info?

And if I upgrade to links SQL 2 will the import script import the alt category info to the new version or will it be ignored?

I have about 200 links in multi categories using the alt function.

I don't use alt-categories in links 1.1x due to the problems. But, since the alt category table is nothing more than CategoryID:LinkID, which is the structure of the current CatLinks.

That should be imported without a problem, by the import program, and if not, it's something that could be added with a few lines of code. The LinkID doesn't change, and quite possibly the CategoryID doesn't change, and if that is true, then the CategoryAlternates could be imported "as is" to the new links.

As I said, I don't use alt-links, and discouraged people from doing so with 1.1x, so I don't have anything to chek on if the import works with that or not. But as I said, it would only be a few lines of code one way or another.
