Moving link to a new category

I assume from your comments that you cannot do this thru the Admin Control Panel?
I just looked at the ACP and the Edit Link option does show a dropdown list where you can select the category.
I also see a dropdown list for the Modify screen.
Did I miss something?

Hello,
Please notice the "s" in links, I want to be able to move tens or hundreds of links from category A to category B.
As it is now you have to edit each individual link which is very slow if you want to move a lots of links.

Sorry about that. but sometimes I tend to overlook exactness of the English language in the msg forum since it is not the native language of many. My bad...Please notice the "s" in links, I want to be able to move tens or hundreds of links from category A to category B.
If you want to move all links from one category to another category, a simple SQL command would do it. Now that you could do thru INDEXU. Otherwise, it may be better to do it outside of INDEXU.As it is now you have to edit each individual link which is very slow if you want to move a lots of links.
I'll give it some thought.

Hello,
I know that I maybe asking too much but what would be the query if I wanted to use phpMyAdmin.
Let say I want to move all the links in category 500 to category 600, how would I write such query.
Here is my problem, I presently have 11000 links in 500 categories. I want to re-structure my directory as to make it more logical, add new categories (about 1500) and keep the current links with their associate data (which mean that I cannot change the link number). I think that if I change the category for a family of link I can accomplish all that. Is their any better way to do it?

make a backup
update idx_category set category_id = 33 where category_id = 44
note:
33 = new category ID number
44 = old category ID number
untested.

do the new/pick/hot pages of INDEXU work for you? the ones at http://www.faithfound.com do not work.
I'm looking for a large INDEXU site to test my version of new ( http://www.indexuhelp.com/indexu/show_new.php ).

Hello,
As fare as I know everything works!! I am working on some addition to the current directory, I will have about 30,000 links and about 2500 categories.
I have a test site (or I will soon have a test site) If you want you can test your hacks their, I will give you access so you can load/fix your script, only requirement, if your hack does not work reload original script. I do not mean to imply that I will use your hack for free on my working site, I will still pay for the one I like if you are willing to sell them.
What about the beta "Reply to reviews"?
For your information, my programmer is working on an advertising program which will make it easier to post banners on the directory, each category and sub-category will be able to display his own banner. It will be great and works a little like AWP, but easier to setup and administer.
I am also working on new template for Indexu, I did buy some very neat generic webtemplate which I need to adapt.

thanks. they work fine for me but I need to know how they work for other folks. thus, the offer to test them. when you get all those links/cats loaded, I'll send the info to test the show_new ( I made an offer to the foundfaith.com site, but never heard from him).
If you test it, it is free.Such a deal!
I did look for the "review" info but got distracted. Musta been a female...!Actually, I was kinda tired. It's almost 2 am but I will go back to sleep. Then i will be fresh and can put together the info to send you.
Thanks!

If you send it to me I will test it on my test site. I did read about it sometime ago, I am under the impression that you have to change the code as you change banner, with my program you enter the code once and for all, if you change banner for a given category the new banner is being display with out having to change the displaying code, you can also display third party banners. It also support PayPal and 2checkout, payment and placement are automatic.
As I was trying to explain it is not a hack, it can be use with Idexu but also with other directory programs or any complex site, dynamic or static, it is a "new" advertising application.
It is just to much work to administer current advertising program, I want my thing, accept payment, add/edit/delete banner with out having to do it manualy.

but I would be interested in the paypal/2checkout option
