Incorrect image paths after moving the blog

ksr · Post by **ksr** » Mon Apr 10, 2006 8:12 pm

I can't tell if it really is a bug, but it sure makes my life as a blog administrator harder:

I closed the domain that I used for installation of a blog. Now I use a different Domain which points to the same webspace. I changed paths in order to fit to the new home of the blog. Text and everything works fine - yet all images in postings still point to the old path - containing the old domain. That means they are not displayed.

Is there a way to change paths of images in Postings to relatively?

Or:

How can I update all the paths to images in old postings to fit to the new domain?

Cheers,
Karsten

try the option:

rebuild thumbs in the admin panel.

This will update image paths of all images found in the uploads folder and subfolders within

BTW; usually full paths (with http://...) should not find their way into entries! IF they do, it would be a WYSIWYG editor messing things up). Serendipity itself only emits path structures.

As RobA mentioned, there is no feature for this yes. But I'm actually working on that for 1.1 right now on this!

This is what worked for me. 5 Minutes Time and all images were visible again. Thanks a lot!

Right.

1 export entries table
2 save it for backup
3 edit paths. Paths were absolute, not relative which I don't quite understand since I run another blog with the same version of serendipity which uses relative paths
4. import altered table
5. Ta-daaah

im jus asking...

because in phpmyadmin an export does not delete your content (atleast not for me)

so when you export it. and then import the altered data it actually adds it to the existend posts. resulting in having everything double.
