I have a directory PHP MYSQL and it has around 9k niche sites in it. The problem is I want to swap the script, as the one I am using is pants. Well it has been up a while. Iam wondering how much of a chore is it to get it out, rename the tables etc, and get it into esyndicat? What are the thoughts?
Depends how differently they are organized. If it is relatively similar.. category table with category ID... site table with siteid and categoryid... etc.. it would probably take 2 to 3 hours of coding and testing to write an importer. If they are wildly different in design, maybe longer.
Cheers man! I haven't a clue about scripting databases etc so thought it would be good to ask, as I am going to have to get someone to do it for me. So 2 days pay should cover it at the outside I guess. Thanks.
Right-o... 2 hours at the low end if they are in similar schemas; maximum 8 hours realistically... since you could re-write most of the base functionality in that amount of time.
