Original Message: From: Ray Zimmerman <rz10@cornell.edu> ... Isn't this an issue for lots of people? I find I'm always making copies of my site (throw my whole installation in a new directory and point it to a duplicate of the database) to play around with new features. Doesn't everyone do this? :-) How can I do it without it breaking all the internal links in my content? ============================================= Well, it was an issue for me, too. What I ended up doing was a combination of $base_url, .htaccess and relative addressing. I found that $base_url was only 1/2 the issue. In addition, I needed a RewriteBase line in my .htaccess file. Finally, I made all of my links relative to the current displayed page. If the current page was www.mysite.com/level1/level2/mypage, then I would crawl up to the root, and then use the other page's true url_alias. This does not work if you have direct links in specific content which shows up on multiple pages at different depths. Luckily, I don't have any of those (see Dashboard for an example of how one node might be used to build another).
