Import problem
Dear all,

I tired to import links2.0 database to linksSQL by using import.pl. But it shows me error message of "Add_Date (Invalid format)" and also "Mod_Date (Invalid format)".

I used tab i.e. "\t" as the delimiter in the old database. Will it cause the problem?

The date format in my old database is something like: 11-Nov-98.

I hope someone can help. Thanks.

Have you hacked the Import.pl file at all? There is a sub that translates the current date format of Links 2.0 into the MySQL format in the Import.pl file.

Hi AnthroRules,

I didn't hack the Import.pl at all. What should I do in order to make it work?

Thanks.

Have you changed the name of the Date field in the links.def file?

No, I didn't change anything on links.def. It's just the original.
