Moodle 2.9
Just been through a large upgrade from 1.9 to 2.9 and was wondering what people do to deal with hardcoded links in content after switching to full https across the site
Should I include an apache rewrite? or just get the users to chnage all there links?
or any other advice on this one?
Cheers

Just use Moodle's built in replace admin tool.
Sorry but hardcoded links in HTML are not replaced by noodles DB search and replace or am I missing a tool. Is there a CLI version.
I did try one but I kept getting an error that the new URL was longer than the previous one??
Cheers

The replace.php tool in here somewhere... Administration_via_command_line
They will be replaced if you include the http/https bit. Obviously, give it enough of the rest to make it work properly.
Hi
I did try one but I kept getting an error that the new URL was longer than the previous one??
I think this is a bug
The replacement is longer than original and shortening is not allow, cannot continue.
Options:
--search=STRING String to search for.
--replace=STRING String to replace with.
--shorten Shorten result if necessary.
--non-interactive Perform the replacement without confirming.
-h, --help Print out this help.
Try '--shorten'. Just sayin'
Ill give that ago, thanks Howard but I was wondering where the documentation on those options are kept
They dont seem to be on the wiki
Cheers
it's the help option on the tool itself.
In a 3.1 code directory:
Directories that contain a 'cli' subdir. There could be more than one script in
a cli directory.
./admin/cli
./admin/tool/behat/cli

Those that have a --help (-h) option which brings up a help screen showing
