I don't know why I've never hit that problem.
What you need to do is make a path to the category.
This is the begining of what I sent (then cut out to the end of Military)
Code:
<Topic r:id="Top/Regional/North_America/United_States/Government/Military">
<catid>21094</catid>
<link r:resource="http://www.usrotc.com"/>
<link r:resource="http://www.defenselink.mil/"/>
<link r:resource="http://www.militarycity.com/"/>
<link r:resource="http://www.globemaster.de/start.html"/>
<link r:resource="http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0004597.html"/>
<link r:resource="http://www.dodea.osd.mil"/>
<link r:resource="http://www.grunts.net"/>
<link r:resource="http://searchmil.com/"/>
<link r:resource="http://usmilitary.about.com/"/>
<link r:resource="http://www.globemaster.de/govsearch/"/>
</Topic>
That means you _might_ need to set up a set of categories:
Code:
<Topic r:id="Top/Regional">
<catid>1</catid>
</Topic>
<Topic r:id="Top/Regional/North_America">
<catid>2</catid>
</Topic>
<Topic r:id="Top/Regional/North_America/United_States/Government">
<catid>3</catid>
</Topic>
And put them before the category. Or, you might need to make a partial tree on your site.
You'd only need to do this for the FIRST of the categories (ie: the one at the begining of the file I sent) since the rest of the categories would have paths attached.
I guess the way I got around it is I had a similar layout 1 or 2 levels deep already in my site, and it just meshed.
Let me know if that works.
I don't know why I haven't hit that problem, and I've imported a dozen or so sites like this. I wonder what I'm doing differently?
