Hi Currently in progress of upgrading several largish DNN sites from 8.0 to 9.2+. I have a particular problem in that we have literally many, hundreds/thousands of downloadable files as well as "you may also want" / "external links" /Contact Us etc across a plethora of tabs and portals that use the deprecated Links module.
We used the links module as it was a great way to manage files and links in 1 table

I somehow have to find a solution to transfer all this to another module without breaking the site or losing important documents. Has anyone had a similar experience and can offer advice.
I was hoping it could be done via SQL??

If the current version of the Links module isn't an option, I'd suggest doing it with 2sxc.

Define a Link content type, build a View that is a list of Links.

Very easy to add additional links, edit, add, delete, etc.

We replaced all "old" core modules with Open Content templates.
Much more user friendly and flexible, but you do need some CSS and HTML knowledge.
