Recommended links features

[Rudy]

1. Is there a solution for updating Recommended Links without re-indexing the whole site?
   The current site has more than 250K pages and the recommended links have to be living. Meaning, that according to differents factors, "webteam", may be able to add/remove, links. Without re-indexing all URL.
2. Do Recommended Links may be triggered by meta or category ?
   In Exemple : you choose sport category, some sports related recommended links are display.
   if economy category is chosen, economy links are picked up.
   Would be nice to be enable with specific meta.

Hope that kind of weird question/features may interest someone else.

1. There is no ability to incrementally add recommended links (without re-indexing) at this point.

2. Recommended links cannot be triggered by a category selection or custom meta search selection.

We've not had much requests for these (I think there might've been 1 previous request for #1 but none for #2), though we can see their helpfulness in certain uses.

If these options are important to you, you may want to contact us for a quote for custom development.

Another Recommended Links feature request

For a future edition, would it be possible to comma delimit the keywords or key phrases for the Recommend List? Then, during indexing, you could do whatever "magic" is needed behind the scenes to make the one-to-one list.

This would allow users to assign one URL and Description to many keywords/phrases, rather than having to create a separate entry for each.

Thanks for considering this feature request.

A solution with the current software would be to maintain the list in Excel, then import it in CSV. This makes it easier to do bulk updates if you have 100's of recommended links.

This has been implemented for the next major release (V7).

How do you export the cvs to make the | show up?

Do you mean how in Microsoft Excel? Googling for it finds this:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/21456/export-or-save-excel-files-with-pipe-or-other-delimiters-instead-of-commas/

I remember it used to be easier but maybe things have changed in newer versions of Excel.

Zoom will export files with the pipe character | as the separator by default.
