| Description | This handly little routine allows you to quickly import your Mozzilla Firefox bookmarks into Dew-NewPHPLinks.
Installing: Simply upload to the admin directory of your DewNewPHPLinks installation.
Using: Browse to the uploaded file http://www.yoursite.com/DNPL-install-directory/admin/bmarkimport.php
This should already be a password protected directory, so enter your normal username and password for it.
Click the "Browse" button and navigate to where Firefox stores it's bookmarks.html file.
Typically, it's stored in C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\RANDOM.default\ Where USERNAME is your Windows login username, and random is a random series of letters and numbers.
After selecting the bookmarks.html file , enter the username, password, password hint and email address that will be associated with the new entries. These can be used later to edit the entries from the public side, without requiring access to the admin panel.
Click the "Import Bookmarks" button
After a few second, you should get a total count of the new categories that were created as well as the number of entries that were made.
Please note, only do this once. Importing the same bookmark file again will duplicate the site entries, although duplicate categories will not be created.
