Hi Chris, Thank you for the quick response! I think I'm getting the idea, but I'll pose you two explicit situations to be certain:
1) My habari installation with a handful of posts is located at public_html/habari1/ and I have my domain www.excellent-adventure.compointing there. If I rename the habari folder to public_html/habari2/ and update the domain pointer to match, will everything still be linked properly? 2) Same original setup as above, but I decided to rebrand my blog as www.bogus-journey.com and set up the new domain pointing as needed (same webhost, same dir locations). Will the site function properly? Thank you! - Andrew On Mon, Mar 21, 2011 at 5:01 AM, Chris Meller <[email protected]>wrote: > All the links Habari generates dynamically on each request (like the link > to a post on the main page, or the tags on a post, etc.) will be generated > based on whatever URL you used to access the site (so if you use > blah.com/habari1 to get to the main page, it'd use /habari1, but if you > used blah.com/habari2 to get to the main page, it'd use habari2). > > If you're inserting links in your post content, however, you'll run into > problems if the URL changes.
