I've decided to spin off some of my categories onto new sites as they've grown a bit large; how do I go about transferring a category complete with subcategories and link data? I could have sworn I saw an article either in the manual or here in the forum about it, but I can't seem to find it now.
phpmyadmin would be the easiest way I suppose. If I were doing it I might copy all the data to a duplicate database, then create queries to delete every link where catid != x and parentids NOT LIKE '%|x|%' (where x is the category number being preserved)... then copy the remaining data over, do similar with categories, edit the desired top categories into such, and regenerate. Though there's probably an easier way I don't know of.
