Import Categories from vB Forums into Gallery/Links

Question for the vba team.

I am running both vba Gallery and Links Directory and I would like to replicate all the categories from my main vb forum. I have over 300 categories/sub-categories in total and I would like to know how I can import them without having to retype every one in Gallery and Links.

Is it possible to do this by exporting tables, running queries, etc.?

Your help is very much appreciated and, if you can offer a solution, it will save me days of tedious work.

Thanks in advance!

Rob.

Anyone? Any ideas if this is possible?

It would be possible, but would require a bit of knowledge about PHP and MySQL to grab the info from your forums and then insert the info into your gallery and links categories tables.

Thanks Brian,

Then I guess I'll do it manually. I just thought I'd check beforehand.

Huge thanks!
