I'd absolutely love to see a feature or stsadm command that went recursively through a site and updated URL instances in PublishingPageContent and SummaryLink controls, My Site links and selected Web Parts.
This would be especially useful when migrating or deploying content from another farm as many of these items only allow the use of absolute URLs.

The Site Directory includes functionality to update links and names (via timer job) but only for sites which are registered there. This doesn't include web parts, lists or links in content areas on other sites. :( Wouldn't it be great if internal were reference objects that were updated automatically? Wouldn't it?? :) Regards, Paul Online Developer, ICT CEO Sydney From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brenton Crosby Sent: Friday, 6 March 2009 5:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Changing a MOSS workspace name - properly Hi all, I have a small issue that cropped up after one of my production MOSS workspace names was changed last week. A number of staff have their mysite configured up and have a link to the old workspace name under the Memberships -> Sharepoint Sites. Is there any way to tell MOSS to update the link on staff member's MySite now that the actual site link has changed? I'd like MOSS to update all links that contain the old workspace name to the new. I thought there might be an automated process something that would have updated all the mysite links as I thought it might be based on some sort of a site id rather than a hard link. It doesn't appear that way, at least on the surface So for example, we changed the site name as follows, using the _layouts/prjsetng.aspx (Title, Description, and Icon) page Old site name <mossfarm>/SoftwareDev New site name <mossfarm>/SoftwareSystems The SoftwareDev (now SoftwareSystems) site has 4 subsites, which include SoftwareArchitects The user in question has a link to his own team's workspace, which is currently something like <mossfarm>/SoftwareDev/SoftwareArchitects/default.aspx and has not updated to the new working link which should be <mossfarm>/SoftwareSystems/SoftwareArchitects/default.aspx Any ideas on how I can achieve this (and for all other users who have a mysite configured with the membership links.. ) without breaking stuff? Also, if this needs to be done in future, what would be the correct procedure to do it and maintain the correct links in the users mysite? Thanks in advance.. long time reader, 1st time post Regards, Brenton ____________________________________ Brenton Crosby Systems Administrator Hosting Services [cid:[email protected]]<http://www.westnet.com.au/> Westnet - Voted Number 1 ISP in Customer Satisfaction six years running Phone: (08) 9218 2600 Fax: (08) 9218 2666 Westnet Home<http://www.westnet.com.au/> | MyWestnet<http://www.mywestnet.com.au/> | Contact Us<http://www.westnet.com.au/contact/> ________________________________ Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/ozmoss Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists ________________________________ Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/ozmoss Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists ________________________________ Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/ozmoss Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support procedure: http://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/ozmoss Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists
