How to import links from one installation to another?

[Torqued]

I'm making a test system for upgrading from vB 3.0.x to vB 3.5. How can I import the links from my vB3.0.x environment into my vB 3.5 environment?

There's no need to import them. Once you install vB 3.5, upgrade to vBa Links for 3.5.

I'm building a clean forum to remove some of the old mods/hacks since the hacks for v3.5 and up are going to be quite different, so it's a separate database. I'm going to import my "old" 3.0.x forum into a new instance of a 3.5 forum to preserve all users, posts, etc. I'd like to do the same with the links.

Would really like an answer.

Can I just import/copy the tables over? I'm basically doing a new/clean installation and need to import the links into the new/clean install.

If you import/copy your adv_setting, adv_settinggroup, and links_* tables then that should be all that's needed.
