Hi,

Not as standard :/ I *may* look at adding this in some time in the future, but at the moment, it only supports single categories (we can do it as a custom job, if needed desperatly =)).

Cheers

Hi Andy,

yes, I'd like to order this extension ... therefore I did send you a mail today.

Cordially

Yes, this is something I might be interested in too, at the moment I'm running duplicate scripts to get the imports to where I want... using the replacement options to control it.

Hi scottish,

could we share the costs?

Anyway, here are my demands for a modified plugin of 'Data_Import' ...

Version: Links SQL 2.1.2 (Linux, MySQL)

Task: import each link to multiple categories
... at least up to 4, preferrably up to 8 categories
... it would be enough, if all categories have to be build newly during import
... it would be much better, if it's also possible to import a link to some already existing categories

Example: the following link:http://www.test.com ...
... shall be copied to all following 4 (better 8) new (better also existing) categories:
Test/US
Test/CA
Test/UK
Test/DE

.. if the category already exists, the links are just imported to them with the current CustomDataImportGen plugin. Have you tried it?
