wow allen - congrats! this has come along nicely while I've been away!!!
But I need/want to preserve my v1.9.6 links data and be able to convert it to v2 format when loading this. And it looks to be a pretty easy task for me to roll out a fixlinks.exe using my win32 developer tools... but I need some file structure details (old vs. new). If you have a chance could you give me some basic direction on how records would need walked over from old files to new? TIA!
Then when I get a converter utility exe built to work on my own data, I'll post a link for others to who might have similar need.

Hey Rox As long as your current data has the cat number at the end of the data line, then it should be just a matter of making a links_data.cgi file, adding all the data in there (from each cat's data file) and set permissions to '777' (or 'full' for windows). You might want to look at the example data and see how it compares to your current setup.

oh, you'll probably have to re-number the first field for each data line to keep the $id straight.

cool - so it's a simple munge then...
A) Walk legacy data from dbcats.cgi over to links_cats.cgi
B) Merge legacy data from all db#.cgi files, reindex a fresh pk (field 1) and write to links_data.cgi
and that looks to be it?
Question on A) - i have data in my next to last field not included in sample links_cats. Looks like: 1093664686, 1093653314, 1093648096 etc. What is that?
and what's gonna happen to my top ten list after pre-loading legacy link list in like this?
thanks!

That data is the time the links were added (used for lightbulbs). The link data line is: $DataLine = "$id||$sitetitle||$siteurl||$desc||$pubname||$time||0||$user_number||$cat"; If $time is your next-to-last bit of data then you're a bit behind You can manually add the info if you like... The '0' is the number of hits. You're topten list will be more accurate since it now reads the dataline directly.

Heya Allen! Soon to have my links page upgraded to latest version, uhhh hopefully.. i sorta got lost along the way and here's why - nowadays my links page has a custom RSS feed server side utility (Win32) in the works, that generates a "Random Link Showcase" xml file (every 2hrs or however often i like) that looks like this... EDIT: Live Example the idea being to bounce that rss feed thru www.rss2html.com w/ proper html template to look like my sidebar rss newsfeed iframe seen here (scroll down) finish result being a cool lil sidebar island for rotating Random Links that drive up hit counters. if anyone's interested in this utility (only for privatey hosted / Windows Admin access) i'll gladly make available, but first i need to get my links.cgi up to date

Hiya,
I have updated link oldie towardss links 2.5
The only think that does not want to work is the first catagory (0).
All the others work fine.
I can see that the entry does exist in the data file, cats gets updated but if i look into it it does not show anything.

got a link?
you might download a copy of your data file, rename it with a .txt extension so I can see where the issue is. pm me with it if you don't want to post it publicly.

yeah - you might create a new category, add the link to it and delete the old one - it could possibly be that its number is "0" - just grasping but everything else looks good to me.

well I had issues like adding a link to one place and it shows up in the other place, or when I try to fix it, everything multiplies, then I logged out then back in and it was fine again.. really confusing.

If SEFriendly URLs worked in 6.7.2 then they should work without an issue in 6.7.3 (as the functionality wasn't touched in the maintenance upgrade)... Has your HOST made any changes recently?

i host the board on my own machine.
It's still a windows 2003 machine which is running iis 6 and perl 5.8.latest
So i know that no changes were done without my knowledge.
As u all could have read, the board will transfer to a new server which i helped to build a week ago. Also this new server has got the same fact.
So i'm still puzzeld about the fact that it is not working.
One extra thing, i skipped 6.7.2. in the past.

Yahoo, thanks, spider friendly was the option which was disabled.
OK, enabeling spider friendly option does do the trick.
But we do not want spiders to get the topics in the forums....
What would u recon on this part?
