Directory Spy

I’ve now updated the Category Dumps package to contain a dump for phpLD V3.10. In reality, the V3.10 dump is identical to the V3.06 dump which I verified this weekend. So if you’re starting a new directory off on V3.10, you can now use the category dump from Directory Spy.

I’ve had a couple of questions on how to install a category dump. In short, its best you know what you’re doing. However, the basic process is to install the phpLD as usual, locate the database used by the directory, then use the Import or SQL option of phpMyAdmin (depends on version). There should be a browse button that allows you to upload a file, where you choose the database dump version that matches the version of phpLD you are installing. Click upload, and it should work fine!

Hint: If any directory blog owners want to write a tutorial on category dumps, it would be very useful!
