WebYep Migrating site change multiple links

Hi all,

I am migrating a large catalogue site from MAMP to my client’s host.

I have a link made with WY Image Item to return from each product page to the category page. For example

localhost:8888 /client/project/categories.php?DOC_INST=1

Will become

http:// www.client.com/categories.php?DOC_INST=1

At the moment there are about 100 products is there a way I can change all of the links without having to do them individually?

Another question. Is there a way to create an element with WY global characteristics for the link appearance but allows the link to be edited without it applying globally?

As always thanks.

In the WebYep data folder there is a ‘documents’ file. This contains all your relative URL’s for your site. This is the bit that need changing.

However what I would have done is build the site locally using test content only, not the full content. This is because you might have one WebYep folder locally, that contain all the data for all your sites locally. This is a nightmare to figure out from the ‘documents’ file what url belongs to what bit of WebYep data. If you’ve got loads of load of site built locally all in one MAMP folder.

I would have uploaded the site on the server into a “temp” folder. Build all the final content in WebYep at http://mysite.com/temp/ Then when going live all you do is to upload the Freeway site into the main folder and change the URL’s in the ‘documents’ file…

from /temp/index.php 1

to /index.php 1

and finally delete the “temp” folder.

Thanks David,

I had updated the links in the document file no problems there.

This was the first site I built with WebYep its been ongoing for a while. Since starting it my work flow has become a bit more streamlined.

Looks like I’ll have to change the links manually, a bit time consuming but lesson learned :slight_smile:
