LinkEX

Lately there has been talk about exporting links & info from LinkEX.

Since day one LinkEX has been able to export the link info, let me show you how:

Enter your admin area of your LinkEX installation, and go to Categories, click Add new Category. Call this new category
"XML Export".
Chose the filtering options you need for the export, and make the template like this:

{IF $FIRST}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<links>
{/IF}
<link>
<ul>{$URL}</url>
<title>{$TITLE}</title>
<anchor>{$ANCHOR}</anchor>
<description>{$DESCRIPTION}</description>
</link>
{IF $LAST}
</links>
{/IF}

As you can see this xport will be an XML export of the data.

After you have saved the cateogory, click the home link, to get to the overview of your links, since we need to update
the links to be in this new category.
Click the "Select all" below the list, to have LinkEX chose all links. If you have many links, LinkEX will
suggest to select all links spread across all the pages.

Expand the Mass Edit section, find the line saying "Categories" and chose "Update" to have LinkEX
only do an update of the categories. Check the name of your newly created category, and click OK.
Now your links has been updated to be included in the export category, and you can find the exported file under
/data/output/[CategoryID]

The template field from the categories allows you to chose the exact format you need, so you can export your links just
as you needs.
