Hi,
On point 1, we'll just have to try. but I'm guessing from what you say that when you import from DMOZ it just slaps the categories in the the directory. I'm not sure how though. Again, will just have to try but the whole dmoz scene is new to both myself and my tech so we're a little lost. Yup, it copies it in the same format. For example, if importing: Top/Computers and Internet/Internet/Games/, for example. It would save as Computers and Internet/Internet/Games, and also create the sub-categories that don't exist (i.e "Computers and Internet/Internet/Games" and "Internet/Internet and Computers" and "Internet").
Maybe you can just tell me this so that I can plan better. When we import from dmoz, does it create 'home' level categrories in our own directory. In other words, if I do not have a section called Arts and I import /Arts/ then your plug in will create a top level category called Arts? And if that is the case, is there a way to hide that category from our users until we've reassigned? Yup, and nope.. I'm afraid. It would be possible to "hack" the build function to filter those categories out, but searches would still result in those links being found unfortunatly.
And just to add to the confusion, if we add dmoz links, and then move them, obviously the plug in won't later be able to update them later? Like I said, I guess we'll just try to get our feet wet... Yup, basically. If you leave it in the same format, but keep re-running the import script, it will only add new links. However, its not advised, because a lot of "crap" still exists in DMOZ, so once you've got it out of your own directory, you don't really wanna keep bringing it back in <G> Hope that helps.
