Hi,

Do DBMAN and Links 2.0 use the same database structure?

I want to convert my DBMAN database to Links 2.0, how would I go about doing this?

Thanks in advance!

Yes...but the configuration files (.def, .cfg - Links) are different than the DBMAN configuratation file (.cfg).

Search the DBMAN Links Integration in the Links 2.0 and DBMAN forums...this has been discussed quite a few times before.

Good luck!

Hi,

I searched on my own and with the terms you gave me. All I come up with is making Links 2.0 and DBMAN work together. I want to CONVERT DBMAN db to Links db, not integrate.

I have tried but can not come up with the solution.

Would you mind pointing me in the right direction =)

Thanks!

Ryan

Welp...what you will need to do is the following:

1) COPY the %db_def hash in the default.cfg and replace the %db_def hash in the links.def file.

2) Then edit the variables in the links.def file. There are "similar" variables like $db_track and $db_file_name.

3) Then configure the links.cfg file with the appropriate PATHS and URLS in the *_path and *_url variables.

That is about it....

Make sure that the $db_delim are the same that you are using in DBMAN.

Not really complicated...
