Re: [johnnybegood] Globally Update Image Storage Location
Hi johnnybegood,
It's a limitation of the current setup that full image paths are stored (instead of relative) and something that is on our todo list to address.
You can move data from one server to another the images will still display, but deleting them won't remove the file since the filepaths won't be accurate.
There's some technical reasons why we haven't gotten to this yet, but for now the quickest workaround for now is as follows:
- Click "Backup" under: Admin > General
- Download the new .sql backup file from /data/backups
- Create a backup copy of this file.
- Open the original in your favorite text or file editor
- Do a search and replace for "oldpath" to "newpath"
- Upload it and click restore
Basically: Backup -> Edit .sql file -> Restore
That's also a handy way to do other search and replaces if needed.
Hope that helps!
