I've dumped all the categories and links to a textfile from our portals and need to dump this into the ez publish database (to the ez p website I've created).

Is there any script available to achieve this?

The syntax of my textfile dump is:
insert into links (id, title, description, url, categoryid) values(x,'x','x','x',x)

I want to create all the categories as folders manually in ez publish, then import/insert the "insert into..." into ez publish database where parent is category_id = x.

Hope someone can help.

Tnx Björn, but shouldn't this be eccential in a CMS, at least an open source CMS, good documentation on how to import external data into ez p?

Seems a litle bit annoying this..

I guess I just can change the sqldump and "insert into ezcontentobject" (to create an object), then get the ezcontentobject_id and insert it in ezcontentobject_attribute with this id as reference to ezcontentobject_id, and add the url and description as data_text?

Please discard this idea...

What about nodes and eZXML and all this other stuff... you need to use the API
