Hello all...
I"m a PostNuke newbie..so bear with my stupidity!
I'm trying to migrate a PostNuke installation from one domain to another.
I got it up and running fine, database is fine, loads the index page just fine.
However,
The links on the left and top are all pointing to the old domain.
while the links pointing to certain articles etc..are looking great and pointing to the new addy
Does PostNuke keep a config file of sorts that lets you change this "domain name" from the old to the new?
Is it in the database?
Let me know where it is! Thanks!
Mark

Nothing in PostNuke itself is hard coded. If the links are hard coded, that would probably mean you linked to, for instance, since the URL is handy for this particular page on PostNuke.com
http://domain.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=27886&highlight=
All you needed to do what link to index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=27886&highlight=
First one will break when you change domains, 2nd one would continue to work.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.
Well..take a look.
http://67.18.126.157/community/
The links on the left hand side are pointing directly to the torontodancehall.net domain...where the links inside are pointing to just the base URL as it should be.
Where are these links? (I didnt make this site, just helping with moving it)
Are they hardcoded into the files? or hardcoded into the DB?
If I could just see where one of these are ...I think I can figure out the rest.
Let me know if you can, and thanks again for the help. Much Appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Well, your link goes to a password protected area, so I can't see the site.
I suspect however that the links you are referring to are in the main menu, and as such can be changed by going to Administration -> Blocks then click on Edit beside "Main Menu". You'll see a listing of all the menu items and the fields to change.

Let me know if you can.

You'd find those in your header files in your theme directory. Different themes have different names for the file, but if you poke around in your theme, you'll find it. It's possible too that the definitions are set in a language file within your theme directory, so make sure you look there too.

Ok..I foudn the stuff in the header..all good with that.
I'm experiencing some weird problems when I try to edit the blocks on the left hand side menu.
Its using "Content Express" I believe.
But when I edit the Menu Name's to change the links, in the edit part, it doesnt provide the "Parent Menu" listings that it should. SO the menu listings part only gives you the option for Top Level.

Unfortunately, I am personally unfamiliar with the CE Menu system, having never used it myself. I know there are folks who are familiar with it though, so maybe this will get their attention.

Thats cool.
All I need to find out is which table they get stored in.
I'm not familiar with the DB layout so I'll have to scram through it.
If anyone knows which tables these are ..it would be great to know.
Thanks

Well, if all you need is the table name, that's simple enough :) I checked one of my sites that has CE installed (but not being used) and the name of the table you are looking for is "nuke_me_menuitems" . Note, it's not ce_menuitems. The "me" must stand for MenuExpress.
